A thread about protesters

[inbetween]

People whose whole life and political outlook is essentially based on their right to not give a fuck about other people suddenly developing a massive social conscience about mythical blocked ambulances is pretty funny.

There is no moral high ground for you charlatans here no matter how hard you lunge. I’d have a modicum of respect if you were even a tiny bit honest: You don’t like lefties and don’t give a fuck about the environment.

Yeah because not giving a shit about anyone else is exactly why people are annoyed at Insulate Britain? It's incredibly ironic to call people selfish and then defend a group that protests specifically in a way that doesn't give a shit about others......

Around 60% of the public opposes these protests so that's either a lot of right-wing nutjobs who hate lefties or as per reality it's just the view of normal and rather pissed off people.

I’m still waiting to hear what these protests achieved other than paralysing a woman?

Is this regarding the caller to LBC? i can't find anywhere that his claims have been corroborated.

It's a sad state of journalism when a call (possibly a prank call) to a talk radio show has been reported widely by media outlets without being fact-checked.

Here is a credible journalist trying to corroborate it by reaching out on twitter but to no avail. Click on it to read whole thread.

Looks like bullshit to me, nothing in the news that isn't two months old. As George said, if it was more credible, it's the sort of story the Mail would cover in detail.

Well, clearly they do give a shit since they are campaigning to improve people’s homes. I mean, if they didn’t give a shit why would they bother?

I’m also impressed they have 40% support.

GB News would have the woman on 24/7. The Mail would be co-funding a Netflix drama based on the events of that day.

Do any of them Google because there are plenty of schemes offering grants to help improve the home from insulation to new boilers?

I’ve had several flyers through my door in the last few years alone for various schemes.

Bit of a strange prank call and why and by whom would they be corroborated? Medical records are kept private for obvious reasons. The caller sounded pretty sincere to me.

I typed ‘number of U.K. homes insulated’ into Google - top item was from the Govt.

‘At the end of 2020, 14.3 million properties had cavity wall insulation (70 per cent of properties with a cavity wall), 16.6 million had loft insulation (66 per cent of properties with a loft) and 772,000 had solid wall insulation (nine per cent of properties with solid walls).’

Everything on the first page was in the same vein. Clearly, Insulate Britain use Google. Did you?

But they aren't helping to insulate their homes, they're gluing themselves to a road.

Why don't they form a non-profit company that cheaply insulates homes? Of course though that would be too productive and might even solve the issue plus they'd have to goto work like the rest of us instead of protest, we wouldn't want that.
