A thread about protesters

[bluethrunthru]

Hence, why I said so called crusties. I didn't actually say it myself.

wasn't having a pop mate just making a comparison with a few people blocking tower bridge and thousands of bellends failing to respect all the restrictions during the pandemic then complaining about the restrictions after they have been lifted......

Not so many lockdown protestors about now in the UK. Probably because of the shorter days and cooling weather. Obviously we don't have significant restrictions in place domestically anymore too.

I can recall the start of June when restrictions ending was weeks away and witnessing an encampment on Shepherd's Bush common with a route master bus driving around in circles with a moron on a loud hailer.

Lots of it was just an excuse for a social gathering/piss-up, even some anti-vaxxers realise that other anti-vaxxers probably don't make good company.

Where as the Insulate Britain lot do seem to have genuinely held beliefs and not doing it just for a laugh.

So if they set up a machine gun nest on the M62 and start spraying it and oncoming vehicles it's fine by you?

depends on the protest.

What's in gods name is stopping these time wasting ne'er do wells from popping down to B&Q and buying a few rolls of Rock wool and doing the job themselves, rather than causing possible injury and death, general annoyance and the prevention of honest, decent people going about their business and getting to work. As long as these serial protesters find something else to inconvenience us, they'll be happy. Or am I missing something ?

These ne'er do wells have been described as such, also as middle class wankers, crusties, etc

Has anyone any actual evidence of who is doing the protests or is it just just posters rehashing tired old arguments. Have you evidence they are serial protestor's ?

Do decent people pollute the planet?

They don't mate - as you say they just rehash the old cliche's - the one I have heard being interviewed was a trainee care worker who took a week's holiday off work to join the protests - obviously a crusty middle class wanker who is looking after your mum or helping the parents of a disabled child eh?

Yeah, their ' spokesperson ' was on a morning TV prog, when asked about whether or not his house was insulated he couldn't answer, It wasn't and he stormed off after comparing themselves to Churchill....what sort of people are these idiots then.
Unfortunately 'decent' people do pollute the planet, we all do.

You take one person as representative of a whole movement and call that evidence.

Did they ask does he own his home or does he rent? If the latter then thats a question for his landlord to answer.

Rent a mob, they’ll protest anything, it’s a day out for these crusty wankers.

First it was ‘stop the war’, then ‘stop the cuts’, then all the Jeremy Corbyn stuff, then something else, then Black Lives Matter, then gender trans for this that and the other, now it’s back to the good old environment.

Now don’t get me wrong - climate change, racism, equality, etc are all valid causes but it’s the same people that go round protesting all of them. Professional protesters with fuck all else to do.

I'm more interested and bothered about Green issues than anything else, but these protestors and the other lot (ER) do no favours for the cause at all. They alienate the argument and switch people off. They need to engage their brains and do things properly otherwise they will never get the masses on board.

You're right about the rent-a-mob thing n'all. Some of them even turned up in their silly attire with drums to the Glazer protest at Old Trafford in the Summer. Probably hitch hiked up from their last crusade where they weren't in work (are they ever in work?!) and just took up the next vogue thing to be involved in.

M25 blocked earlier this morning.

Insulate Britain spokesperson Liam Norton said: “You can throw as many injunctions at us as you like, but we are going nowhere.

“You can raid our savings and confiscate our property. You can deny us our liberty and put us behind bars. But that is only shooting the messenger.
“The truth is that this country is going to hell unless you take emergency action to stop putting carbon into the air.”

Climate activists block M25 for sixth time in fortnight over insulation

He needs to get real, there's no such thing as hell.

Well...he was the spokesperson, so yes. If he wasn't representative of the movement why was he the spokesperson. Or maybe he was a hypocrite who just wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

He’s a bit like Kevin Parker then.

Why are we not arresting and fining these knob heads?

Crusty Wankers? No no, these folks are all representative of our society, each and every one are ordinary millionaire brickies and sparks, and are of various ethnicities.
Well, I know they all look like gammons, but that's only because BAME people can't afford superglue, but they're addressing that anomaly and will be cementing themselves
into 20 litre paint tubs next Monday in a recruitment drive.

Had to look BAME up. I thought it was Being Against Most Everything.

As long as you just run over their limbs, shouldn’t be a problem.

 

[Rascal]

Well...he was the spokesperson, so yes. If he wasn't representative of the movement why was he the spokesperson. Or maybe he was a hypocrite who just wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

He could well have been a random guy picked up off the street, these organisations rarely have structures or indeed leadership models. They are a group pf protestors with a common goal.

If you ever feel you need to protest about an issue, will you be happy for people to want to close down your democratic rights and then mock you, wish harm on you and call you a hypocrite who just wanted 15 minutes of fame or are you so vacuous you would never consider protesting about anything, you would gladly let others do it or just be a sheep and Baa Baa Baa your way through life suffering indignity and injustice.

Those who wish to close down protest are behaving in an anti democratic manner and will no doubt be the first to complain when the country is an authoritarian shit show ruled by a demonic despot.
