This bloke must have made millions across the country turn off their brew kettles and drink a glass of water instead,
all the teenagers have taken their mobiles for recycling, and central heating boilers are being removed as we speak.
It's so impressive, it's really made millions turn their tellies off and put sweaters on.
What's needed now is him to throw himself off Big Ben to give us a proper suffragette moment.

The UK has a proud history of civil disobedience, one of the most legendary of all UK hero's was Robin Hood, he is now celebrated and civil disobedience was very much his bag.

Its no coincidence the capitalist establishment tried to infer that there was the "Robin Hood Tax" it was an effort to delegitimise disobedience. Now all civil disobedience is seen as creating problems for normal people, like for those who commute to go and clean the establishments offices etc. It is a threat to the establishment, not to the normal people.

I dont believe you have to support the particular cause, but for historical reasons you have to support civil disobedience as a means to end. It challenges the establishement. Brexit could be viewed as an act of quiet civil disobedience as it went against the establisments wishes and has caused huge disruption.

Robin Hood?
Nah, not having that, he only robbed the rich because the poor didn't have any fucking money;)
 
I know quite a few people involved with this.

I think there's a little bit of division going on internally. Some don't want the rogue acts of protest to continue as it might get people to anchor the negative acts of public inconvenience with anything relating to working towards a better environment, which is counterproductive.

Some though just want it to keep going for as long as they can get away with; milk the attention for what it's worth. It's folk like these we're hearing about.

Clackers were a thing at one time, some genius in the USA convinced lots of other people to buy a pet rock and make him a millionaire. This fad will go away soon and it will be replaced by another fad along the same lines, it will be unimportant and as vague as the last one.
