Just Stop Oil protests

where did the myth that the planet is sustainable develop?

The suffragettes were the biggest domestic terrorist group in British history.

They burned down houses, placed bombs in parks and postboxes, tried to kill the PM (one threw an axe at him and narrowly missed hitting another MP).

They tried to burn down the royal theatre in Dublin in the middle of a sold out performance, which would have killed hundreds.

They set fire to a train as it went into Harrow station, they fucked up signals trying to make trains crash.

They invented the letter bomb and sent them to dozens of high profile politicians including the PM, whose house they nearly burned down.



They tried to burn down the all England tennis club aka Wimbledon.

They tried to bomb the 1913 FA Cup final at Crystal Palace’s ground.

All in all 250 of them were arrested and they killed half a dozen people and injured dozens more.

The reason Arsenal moved away from South London? The suffragettes burned down their stadium.

In May 1913 alone they carried out 52 bombings and many more were foiled. All completely erased from history because we agree with their cause.


Honestly seeing people getting upset over some people throwing orange powder around is both tragic and hilarious.

Nobody seems to mention the white feather mob shaming young men to be sent to their deaths in WW1.

Was the crucible fine though? :-)

Fortunately so.

The orange powder would have been much harder to clear up before the invention of the vacuum cleaner.

Before the invention of he vacuum cleaner they'd have been shot, I doubt they would have even tried it.

They didn’t get shot when they tried to assassinate the PM, I don’t think they’d have been in trouble for disrupting snooker.

A room full of working class men enjoying a pint a pipe and baying for blood? Snooker would have been oh so different pre-hoover days.

A far cry from the crowds with tags hanging off their ears too afraid to open a nuttalls minto because the ref might single them out as a twat.

No issue whatsoever with peaceful protests and let’s be honest, this lot are peaceful.

Any chance of them running on again at Headingly please ;-)

With a bat in their hand?

I support the protesters. It's a crisis of unimaginable proportions and the change required will not be taken on by a short term thinking government.

I also loathe the fact every time a protest happens, the press are falling over themselves to find a 'poor soul' who was just trying to get to work, or an old dear who was just trying to get to a hospital appointment so they can ram it in the protesters faces. When in reality, 99.9% of those affected by the disruption has no long term impact.
