Just Stop Oil protests

[Manchester_lalala]

Surely you’re not going to dumb your argument down to "but the protestors possibly traveller to the location by car"?

Of course I am Greta.

I’ve got no problem with people protesting as long as it isn’t deliberately annoying people.

Pmsl

Not really, if the entire population of the country gave up in eating meat tomorrow then it would be a significant change. An example of a collective of individuals.

Good luck with that as well.

It's a building and a bit of paint ...

Ahhh so you think it’s acceptable then.

No view on the protests but do you seriously think the future of this planet will be affected by anything as puny as stopping using fossil fuels?

Lol

If you’re angry about them spraying paint over a building, just imagine how angry those protestors are themselves at the government issuing new exploration grants for fossil fules despite committing to doing the opposite at COP26. I mean, they’re that emotive about it, they’re willing to risk assault or prison whilst trying to get their point across. I highly doubt they’re all CEOs of wind farms so they’re doing it for altruistic rather than selfish reasons too.

I’m not saying that as a way of convincing anyone to agree with their view btw, just that if people are pissed off about Wimbledon or the cricket being delayed by twenty minutes, it pales into insignificance compared to how pissed off the protestors themselves must be about something, they’d argue, is far more important to all of us.

So just because they’re pissed off they think it’s a good idea to piss other people off. Great logic.

The amount of hypocrisy in this thread amazes me mate.

Fair enough there are people supporting JSO and their actions. But conveniently forget about them when they fire up their car in the morning, or when they are jumping on a jet for ther second or third holiday of the year. Or even when they are at the Etihad watching millions of pounds worth of talent. All Assembled by a person that has earned billions off the back of the black stuff.

There is no hypocrisy you just haven't thought it out. It's painful the logic in people tbh.

Good luck with that as well.

But your argument was that " we can't do anything", which just isn't a factually accurate statement.

Just because you can't be fucked making changes, doesn't mean it wouldn't impact things if everyone did collectively.

Lol

I like a qualified post

The anti protesters seem an angry crowd don’t they. Maybe we could use all their hot air to power up the country and then everyone’s a winner.
