There's a massive difference between a large protest with 1000s of people ending up blocking streets (which are often organised in advance), and small numbers of people going out of their way to deliberately inconvenience others, with that disruption being the primary aim rather than a side effect.
Didn’t mention 1000s of people. Let’s look at Glasgow this Sunday. There are 7 demos/rallies/protests (whatever you call them, they will all cause lots of disruption and block roads and prevent people from going about their business) with an average of 51 people attending each.
how can they. there is no room in them, and as much as I want them to be disuaded from their actions, I would rather thieves, murderers and sexual predators got banged up before a climate activist
And who are you letting out of prison to allow this given the jails are full…Thieves? Those who commit violent crimes? Murderers? Rapists?
I suppose the difference is if you block a street in a city centre it may be irritating but you get get around easily enough. block the M25 or Dartford crossing and you get stuck in a jam with possibly children or elderly and there is no where you can go. you can't even get out of it to go another way.
why are you so angry with them? What is it that upsets you so much about this group that you want them to be physically harmed?
Except there are no renewables without new Oil, each Wind turbine won't function without about 400 odd litres of PAO synthetic lubricant thats based on crude, that needs replacing each year.
Their position is moronic and unattainable.
Added 7 hours onto my journey home the last time they sat on the QE2 Gantry. The Gulag is too good for these entitled toffs.
Presumably the fact that you have the details of these protests means they have been organised in consultation with the authorities in advance, and the disruption is necessary in order to provide a space for them to protest. That is not the same as a few people deliberately blocking a road (let alone throwing soup around or whatever).
You can't just join an environmental debate and make sensible suggestions that any energy transition is going to require fossil fuels to make. That kind of practical well thought out idea has no place in modern feelings based doomsday cult politics. You should be ashamed.Except there are no renewables without new Oil, each Wind turbine won't function without about 400 odd litres of PAO synthetic lubricant thats based on crude, that needs replacing each year.
Lets not even get into the fact that each one needs about 900 metric tons of steel, I wonder whats required for that!
you are right of course... for now at least we just cant totally divorce ourselves from fossil fuels... but bio lubrication is surely on the way.... I dont support what these people are doing but do fully support the notion that oil is a precious commodity and should be treated as such, and not wastefully burned. it should be used when there is no other really practical solution......Except there are no renewables without new Oil, each Wind turbine won't function without about 400 odd litres of PAO synthetic lubricant thats based on crude, that needs replacing each year.
