Why go for the Ports and Heathrow ? If it’s insulating homes they’re wanting?

" would imagine that they believe that the utterly minuscule amount of energy saved in global terms is worth disrupting the lives of thousands of people. " - indeed I bet that volcano in the Canaries has wiped out all our efforts for decades.
"Despite emitting huge clouds of particles and gases, volcanoes release the equivalent of one per cent of the amount of CO2 that human activity does. Every two and a half hours, human activities release around the same amount of CO2 as a Mount St Helens eruption, according to NASA.

Volcanoes aren't a particularly big emitter of CO2 when compared to human-related sources."

well that's a relief then seven!
i read somewhere (can't remember where now) that the object of the exercise was to get loads of their activists in jail for the cop26 conference, so they can say to the world "look what the uk thinks of tackling climate change....."...
Question Author
I heard one of their spokespersons this morning and quite frankly , he didn’t sound ‘the full shilling’
No one will sound the full shilling if its something you don't support, or agree with. " What exactly are these people protesting about" They are protesting in the hope that people who have to ask this question start to understand whats happening to the planet. And yes someone died through these actions. How many million are going to die if we just sit back and do nothing.
They should save up their rag papers and use them to insulate their own lofts cheap *** lol
Teacake, //And yes someone died through these actions. How many million are going to die if we just sit back and do nothing. //

Are you saying that this poor lady's death was justified?

The So Rule? From you?

I am surprised!!!
Doesnt have as much gravity as for example a rosa parks situation
mush. //i read somewhere (can't remember where now) that the object of the exercise was to get loads of their activists in jail for the cop26 conference, //

Well he's doing a good job of it, he should be tried for manslaughter.
Well I knew someone would bring that up, of cause not. BUT lets face it, the ones that disagree with these protesters are hanging on to this death for dear life, ( a weapon against them if you like) The US and UK killed thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan in bombing raids over 20 years, because they believed in what they were doing was right ( debatable) I don't see many up in arms about any of that, plus leaving them in a worse position. But ea oh, out of sight, out of mind now.
"Their spokesman, an oafish ignoramus who led the protest which stopped all traffic on the M25 leading to the unfortunate death of a woman victim of a stroke who was being rushed to hospital,"

The woman didn't die but was paralysed following a stroke and it appears the delay contributed toward that or lengthen the recovery time.

My mistake, didn't die, but some people who are paralysed in this way, that may be, could have been avoided to a degree must some days wish they were.

"WE DEMAND
1
That the UK government immediately promises to fully fund and take responsibility for the insulation of all social housing in Britain by 2025;
2
That the UK government immediately promises to produce within four months a legally binding national plan to fully fund and take responsibility for the full low-energy and low-carbon whole-house retrofit , with no externalised costs, of all homes in Britain by 2030 as part of a just transition to full decarbonisation of all parts of society and the economy."

If you want to offer an analogy, it does help if you use one that actually compares with the original - otherwise it looks like nonsense.

One high profile 'visible' death trumps more than 3,000 'invisible' deaths.

"More than 3,000 people are “needlessly” dying each year in the UK because they cannot afford to properly heat their homes, new research has revealed. The UK has the second-worst rate of excess winter deaths in Europe"

If the police don't stop this I think there will be a few martyrs. Call in the Orgreave squad!
