School kids protest climate change
- Thread starter Ban-jani
- Start date
Well then it wouldn't be a strike would it? Bit like me saying I'm protesting by not going into work on my day offFunny how they couldn't have arranged it on a weekend, eh!
I see the kids have been striking again today about climate change. Good for them, but a thought occurs. If we worked out how much mitigation would cost, would they be willing to pay the price? It is a British habit to demand stuff which would raise taxation to 60% but, when asked, agree that 40% is about the maximum level that is bearable. How do we persuade people to agree to pay for improvements?

Most of the kids I heard didn't have a clue about the issue.
Just spouted clichés.
Would rather they spent a day actually learning about the environment.
A photo opportunity. No doubt they will be the 2040 version of Blair or Cameron. Hope to God they'd don't morph into Jezzer of Mad Marxist McDonnell.
It’s like there’s a kind of Godwin’s Law on here, just with Corbyn instead of Hitler. Seen him mentioned in the last few days in threads about Soldier X, the New Zealand terror attacks and now a schoolkids’ protest about climate change. Odd.

If you can't protest about these issues when you are 16-18 years old when can you?-they have belief in these issues and that must be better than apathy. However the middle class mums who let their kids(4 year olds) chalk all over the cenotaph got on my nerves -they had the rest of St Peters sq to do that!I see the kids have been striking again today about climate change.

Is he not to be discussed any longer in here?
A protected subject?
Now that would be odd imo.
