Also worth pointing out that understanding the need for immediate, wholesale, and very costly intervention across the public and private sectors in order to combat catastrophic and irreversible climate change is not a communist position. Or a socialist position.

It is an apolitical position backed by the strongest interdisciplinary scientific consensus in academia.

Insert treats the health of an individual with contempt, just as he did when jewish people were abused by islamists shouting abuse from cars in London, and he dismissed this as, "hurt feelings" ....jewish people have also been physically attacked in London and islamists charged with offences, so it was not just name calling.

Blocking a motorway or tube train does not save the planet, but is does threaten lives.

There are so many other ways to save the planet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultimately it’s about publicity like Fathers for justice
What comes from it though is another matter
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed.

We all need to go green and do our bit.

Banning protests is sign of a healthy, functioning democracy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Manslaughter charges for all those who protested.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did someone die?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Manslaughter charges for those that have overseen the destruction of the ambulance services.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SNP oversaw a 40 ambulance hour wait, leading to a man dying, in Scotland where there is a massive ambulance problem, so we need to call out that govt and the tory govt too.

I knew you were going to post that next, and you guys are not playing party politics here.😊

You agree the SNP should be held to the same account as Bojo then, regarding ambulance failings, and their covid response, then....Stormont and Cardiff too.

You do play party politics daily, and i did not say you were nationalist.

But we'e at a point of no return and if the gov and the general population don't give AF, you have to get their attention somehow.....it's usually never something that the people who don't care, or are not bothered, want to see or hear.

Of course, i agree and uk govt is addressing that in a speech in America today at the UN.

Personal responsibilty comes into play too, not one or the other, and i want govt in Uk, China, America, Russia, India etc to do so much more.

I do not think blocking the M25 or climbing on a tube influence global govt.

Science and our own eyes should do that.

You said I was playing party politics in a post about the SNP. The army were asked for help in England last month, downgrading the ambulance services was the point but you do you.

I honestly believe people do give AF, but do not trust govts, even if they make speeches and promises.

Little attention seeking stunts on a train or road may actually weaken the argument.

If gas prices are going through the roof, used as a geopolitical weapon or a step toward our over dependence on fossil fuel for heating, insulating houses properly should be the most basic requirement.

* reducing our over dependence

Army called in at Belfast and Scottish hospitals too, so it is devolved govt failing too...ambulance crisis and covid are rife in NI and Scotland, so i am merely reporting from outside your bubble.

I am no fan of boris and tory govt covid response, but see some use covid as a stick to beat one party, when tje regions are as bad or worse, regarding ambulance queies, covid rates and responses.

“ I am no fan of boris and tory govt covid response, but see some use covid as a stick to beat one party,”

It’s not COVID though is it. It’s the austerity they’ve brought in over the last 10-11 years

"I am no fan of boris and tory govt covid response, but see some use covid as a stick to beat one party,”

One party that just so happens to be the National Government. The devolved governments have not been without criticism.

There’s a “Butterfly effect” to most things folk do
The protest was just writ larger and more obvious( I think that was the point)
I guess any future protests will be “better thought out”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blocking the M25, a runway, or glueing yourself to a train may get attention, but no positive results.

Brian Cox and Attenborough do better.

Sorry hadn’t read the story. Change manslaughter to the appropriate charge for paralysis

Cling on to that mistake if you wish and focus on that.

I’m happy knowing that I’m not the one that is perfectly happy to sacrifice OTHERS for MY beliefs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You opposed lockdowns and masks. Lots of people died for your beliefs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Never opposed lockdowns nor masks but never mind….

And I didn’t do anything to cause deaths for my beliefs. Better luck next time whoever you are

Yeah... but we do not slaughter 1500 dolphins in an annual hunt.

How's that for coming out of nowhere?🤣
