Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion, domestic terrorists?

Just look at the chaos caused over the last month, this is far from peaceful.

I'm not sure how much damage the glue would even do, it's more just a delay tactic when the police are there.

If there was an ambulance trying to get through then I think trying to drag them out of the way as some people did recently in London is still reasonable, no punching or kicking, they just grabbed them and moved them from the road. If there is glue then maybe it will sting a bit like ripping off a plaster or perhaps a small top layer of skin but it's probably not really going to do much damage.

Try super gluing yourself to something.

Please let me know how you get on.

It’s as good as permanent on skin and will take off far more than just the ‘top layer’

It will remove the skin as a whole.

You'll be left looking at exposed fat and muscle comparable to very severe burns

It would be life changing on the palm of a hand limiting movement and feeling for the rest of thier life

I have to say the wife of milionair TFL director being one of them is quit funny.

I wonder how much a £1.5m luxury house produces co2 wise. But it seems she's just one of th LARPers and does the protest circuit.

The really interesting one is the slumlord with the property empire with many uninsulated houses. Wonder if he's just in it for the free upgrade

Being obese should be socially unnacceptable for sure, it's a disgusting character flaw.

It's completely obscene that ~28% of adults in this country are obese (BMI 30 and above) then add in another 36% that are just fat (BMI 25-30) and we need a bit less acceptance of porkers in this country.

that may be so, but making them feel worse about it will end up with them getting fatter not thinner.
but obvs the way it was intended was to attack the person in an attempt to devalue their argument, which is lame.

That's a completely trite statement and not born out by experience. Molly coddlying people and having fat acceptance has got us to the position we're in.

I keep seeing the same old dude, bald, grey with glasses. He seems to crop up everywhere!

Many of those convictions now appear to be in doubt after the Supreme Court recently ruled that peacefully and briefly obstructing a highway for a genuine political cause was lawful activity.

So what happens with IB mob then if XR won this?

Stereotyping by calling people Karen's, claiming lying in the road is peaceful and now accusing people of Nazi intentions. Ah yes, the usual low standard of posting from 200Sols. Surprised you weren't out with them blocking the roads.

That is a textbook Karen(Ken). This is a peaceful protest, it is disruptive and that is its aim. And yes, censorship, murdering of protestors sounds kind of Nazi like to me.

Angilion said:
Deliberately making life worse for other people, up to and including deliberately and knowingly putting their lives at risk, is not peaceful.

It is a protest, disrupting of life is its aim. If people protest in the middle of nowhere then nobody cares, it doesn't get reported.

Yes, these fatties need to be shamed for their own good health.

The law isn't in the issue they've had how many injunctions now? Its nothing more than a piece of paper to wave about until someone does something to enforce it which like everything else going on in this country right this govt is utterly incapable of getting any kind of handle on. Meanwhile Boris is sunning it up in Marbella thinking he's Churchill. Its bonkers.

Zatoichi.uK · 13 Oct 2021 at 16:03

I must admit I kind of want to see a return to 70s style policing where they would just get a beat down, just give me some Chinese style enforcement please. Seriously it's embarrassing to watch the police fumble about whilst the traffic systems get thwarted by a few crusties wearing tea cosies on their heads and going limp. It's time to crack some skulls!

Well you know how society tried to make smokers feel bad about smoking and it lead to the huge increase in smoking resulting in it being more common than ever?

Ahh I suppose your right it's not like its an addiction or done as a comfort or even just habitually.
