Some poor totally unprepared “spokesperson” for Extinction Rebellion just got eviscerated by Andrew Neil on BBC.
I think calling it eviscerated is being kind to her. She was absolutely annihilated.
Just some tidbits her and her middle class friends espouse:
And end to all aviation in six years. (In order to achieve a planned reduction in global temperatures of 0.03%)
An end to all use of gas in six years (so good luck trying to eat cooked food)
Consfication of motor vehicles in six years.
These people with their smug, liberal, middle class view of the world make my blood boil.
Why are they not protesting outside the chinese embassy? China opens one coal power station every week. Every week.
Why are they attacking normal families? One of their less strident policies is to "allow" families to take ONE flight every FIVE YEARS.
If taxes are the answer why don't they propose a carbon tax based on ability to pay. Something like 1% of earnings over 30k, rising as earnings rise to end up with those earning 6 or 7 figure wages paying 5 or 6%? With money raised going into carbon reduction schemes or something.
Why is their only answer to make those with the least pay the most?
It's not about climate, its about control. Control, and putting the working classes back in their box. How dare those scruffy northern twats aspire to own a car and have a week away every year or two. They spoil our cruises and our time in Monaco with their tattoos and their regional accents. Lets make it so expensive they will go back to a week in blackpool on the charabanc.
Liars and hypocrites. Every one of them.
