I’m perhaps a little pedantic but if the new law is that interfering with national infrastructure (including roads) is a crime then surely the police should have been detained as well?
“At 10:10am, a number of Metropolitan police arrived and began pushing the Just Stop Oil supporters back and forming a chain across the road,” they said.
After all the police formed a chain across the road which would’ve seriously held up traffic.
It’s gonna get worse as more people realize we’re fucked if we let the oil companies have their way. I assume they’ll buy armies to protect their interests.
They already have? The police’s job is to protect the wealthy’s assets. Always has been.
I mean yeah but I have to think in the coming years it’s not going to get better lol.
In the US, we had a Canadian pipeline firm paying to have protesters arrested
Yeah shits wild

I try to vandalize a F150 every so often.

Thing is that pretty much every big public event does that. I don’t see the same fury over football matches or marathons, which tells me that the objection is the message, not the action.

No they aren’t.
Yeah I listened to an interview with Roger Hallam on Radio 4 with Nick Robinson and he sounded completely nuts. It was eerily similar to the Charles Manson type cult fearmongering about an impending societal collapse. In particular he seems fixated on the idea of mass sexual violence somehow being caused by climate change?
These people have a messiah complex and their basic instincts are anti-democratic. If their solutions to the climate crisis were politically appealing then people would vote for them; they can’t compete in the market place of ideas and so they’ve taken to being a nuissance.
