Being sat in a prison cell for a few years to think about their life choices is literally the only thing that will stop some of them.
4 and 5 years is ridiculous.

These were the organisers though. Apparently the judge could have given them a maximum of 10 years so maybe they got off lightly...4 and 5 years is ridiculous.
I wouldn't dispute a word of that, and I have absolutely no time for their methods even if I do agree with the sentiment, but the 4 & 5 year sentences are OTT. No wonder prisons are in crisis; we need to modernise the justice system and find better punitive methods.
6 months in a B cat, then moved to a D cat for most of the term, released on license at the 1/3 sentence point.

Trespassing on a major road and forcibly blocking traffic is not a peaceful protest it is nonviolent activism (hence why it's a crime in many first world countries).I’m no JSO fan but standing in the middle of the M25 IS a peaceful protest whichever way you look at it.
There are far more demands than that.
There will come a time when Britain does not use a drop of mineral oil except for some lubrication where science cannot provide a substitute. I say Britain because there is still the rest of the world and I more than suspect buses trains and cars will still be powered by the stuff in a lot of places.
Cuba running 1950's chevy's, (do they still do that?) Is one example, there are bound to be many more. Rishi was quite right the other day to say that this country has done more to reduce its carbon footprint than most others. China uses a lot of wind and solar but a **** tonne of coal and oil as well. Germany and Poland still mine and burn coal.
So we will get there but a load of radicals declaring that the sky is falling and we need to do it today just impoverishes everybody. The planet is not that unstable and really only suffers from one major issue. Too many human beings
They were, do keep up.They should be judged on their actions, not their thoughts.
I was referring to the poster I was replying to, not the actual judge.They were, do keep up.
That bears absolutely no relevance to the sentences they've received. They should be judged on their actions, not their thoughts.
I do hope he continues to be an insufferable **** in prison because his name will be very apt.And anyone here feeling sorry for poor Roger Hallam, then lets not forget just how deranged he is from his own words..
A gang of boys will break into your house demanding food. They will see your mother, your sister, your girlfriend, and they will gang **** her on the kitchen table.
They will force you to watch, laughing at you. At the end, they will accuse you of enjoying it. They’ll take a cigarette and burn out your eyes with it. You will not be able to see anything again.
This is the reality of climate change
