Just Stop Oil protests

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Doesn't have to be a musical. Piss enough people off and eventually you will piss off the wrong person

They have a cause and they protest peacefully. Should anyone use violence against them, they’ll be in the dock.

The reason they’re doing what they’re doing is because they’re even more pissed off to be fair. I’m sure they’re fully aware they might get twatted for it. They’re willing to risk lengthy times in prison too.

If you consider stopping roads and preventing people getting to where they need to in an emergency pecefully, that's your call, but they will come a cropper one day. iirc didn't one get dropped recentlly for pissing off a driver?

They may well be pissed off but why target the public?

I’m sure it happens more than we think. That driver will no doubt have his day in court.

When you believe your cause is more important than anything else, you will keep protesting whatever the consequences.

If a member of the public decides to attack someone else in public, they run the risk of being charged.

They wouldn’t if they just called them fuckwits though.

It's a pity they don't focus their protests more where something might come of it (with this Government, it won't), but their current MO to piss off Joe public aint working

Because they’ve seen civil disobedience be successful before. I don’t think it will be for them this time round as the world has changed so much and how news and information is consumed nowadays, but part of their hope will be more people ask that question and go and find out.

That’s not for us to decide, though. If they didn’t think it works, they would change their approach.

Which other climate change protest groups are you aware of?

It’s doing both, it’s pissing some people off more and furthering others to their support. They’ll take the former as long as they get some of the latter.
