Just Stop Oil protests

[give it to gordon]

Oh no not the private jet of a multi millionaire.....

Kin hell no safety goggles or gloves when using the grinder and than their tee shirts are on inside out !

More a case of not being triggered by it than supporting or condoning it. I do find the performative outrage amusing though so don't stop on my behalf ;-)

I wont

You obviously don’t mind criminal damage, disruption and additional costs to put right

Mind? Couldn’t give a fuck in this instance.

Trespassing on an airfield though including cutting the fence is a bit different for quite obvious reasons and will be treated a bit more seriously.

Documenting your own crime is also a bit thick.

Surely the bigger concern is the lack of security at the airfield, rather than the fortunate choice of these “terrorists” using paint, rather than a bomb.

Easy to say when it's not your plane/car.

Yeah. I’d be fucking gutted if that was my plane :)

You go to all that trouble then flip the video so no one can read the t-shirt with your message on it. Bloody amateurs :)

I’d have to sell it and go on holiday for 6 months to get over the trauma.

not bothered about people doing criminal damage. OK

The ‘security’ was bypassed by two teenage girls with a grinder from B&Q. They even had time for a congratulatory hug at the end. I’ve got better ‘security’ in my back garden.

My favourite thing about Just Stop Oil is all of the pundits that pretend to not know what their aims are. I haven't seen this level of fake confusion since the Me Too movement or the AV vote.

I had a go at Chomsky on the thread about his (non)-death, basically saying he knew what the problems were but didn't have solutions. This lot are even worse.

Went on their website and there was a lot about stopping the extraction and use of fossil fuels but nothing about what could replace them. If we stopped using fossil fuels tomorrow, the impact would be far more disastrous, and far quicker, than climate change.

If you've got a reasoned argument then you shouldn't need unreasonable actions. But those childish actions are all they have.
