M25 blocking (13 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Pete]

It usually does when people sit in roads.

I’m thinking the kings horse and women’s votes. If people are willing lay down their lives for a cause like that then you won’t stop them

Was glad the Beeb gave them no airtime on the news

Protests should be aimed at the manufactuing, sales & profit making organisations that continue business models that are harmful.......

so go and glue yourselves to the gates of BP, Unilever, Apple, Amazon, Ryanair, Shell, JLR, Mercedes, Boohoo, primark, Redrow, Ineos, etc. etc......

Disrupting industry will get government attention far quicker than winding up some commuters.

Not sure how any of those will get house insulation standards and subsidies implemented.

Need to go full suffragette and throw them selves in front of a few ministerial cars.

Really not sure how I feel. There’s an inevitable death from a driver not realising they’ve jumped back into the road and a martyr to the cause may help the overall cause more than just pissing people off.

I am still absolutely in favour of direct action and there needs to be a huge shift in government action to move the issue forward. The leaders need a discussion about if they are happy to have blood on their hands and if they are ok. If they want to move things forward maybe they need a more tailored approach

Direct action, pissing off the likes of me and you is fair enough, if annoying. A paramedic being there, and people saying an ambulance waiting is less rfair enough. Just let enough through for the ambulance, then sit back down again if you must.

Thats supposed to be the policy.

Extinction Rebellion has always let through emergency service vehicles, so where does the myth of our blocking ambulances come from?

Now I haven't been following, but aren't this lot a different group?

Spin off I think. Their website is pretty bare so doesn’t have a policy either way I can see.

They can’t be seen to be ordering or organising others

Well one of XRs problems has always been no one organises anyone. It’s a flat cell structure. That’s how you had white nationalists using their material at one point.

I don’t know if channel 5 do replay shows but if they do I’d urge people to look at today’s from 9.30 until the debate ends and listen to “Liam” one of the leaders of this group and ask yourself if you now have any sympathy with their stance

Isn't he the one who was on ITV the other week?

He was thick as fuck.

Watch it

When asked about the ambulance he stated is one death worse than 10 million who will fry to death in 10 years time. Interestingly on these programmes they always attempt balance - not one caller in could defend the stance after listening to him

Ha ha....true....but I was on about XR in general really.....

The bloke is genuinely thick as fuck. It's like he has been brainwashed.

"In the future, people who are against the protests will be labelled as Cowards and Traitors"

Think he may have been on 5 live this morning. Sounded like a right dick.

 

[Nick]

He is off his head.

It's very cult like.

 

[Mcbean]

i think i have been offended by this piece of S*ite - would the BBC and Channe 5 immediately remove all content !!

will they f*ck

 

[Grendel]

It would seem Liam Norton is a Labour Party activist along with his mummy and it’s really an anti Tory agenda with a bunch of dumb sheep following the cause

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Day 13, still going on. Where's our police, lock the fuckers up!

Try and watch these videos without your piss boiling!

Insulate Britain are BACK: Eco-protestors bring M25 to a halt

The demonstrators ran out onto the road by traffic lights at junction 31 of the motorway near Thurrock on the north side of the Dartford Crossing which links Essex to Kent.

About time they start getting locked up. Somebody is going to get a kicking.

Just annoying boring little scabs

 

[Liquid Gold]

It's almost amusing how they have managed to turn almost everybody against them.

I believe we need to do a hell of a lot more to sort out climate change but pissing people off isn't going to achieve anything.

This whole scenario probably ends up with somebody either being smacked about or ran over ... the police (courts ) need to do something as this is no longer a peaceful protest

Yep, the public shouldn't have to be having to move them.

They are employed by the government to turn everyone against the idea that climate change is real.

Or Bill 5G Gates

 

[Mcbean]

Taser ! If they don’t move - they won’t do it again

 

[Evo1883]

Let's be honest, people are always bang on when they tell you what type of person is involved in these protests .. Mag to grid , get rid

women who's husband earns 170k a year can afford to sit in the road and disrupt the lives of people many of whom will be struggling to just get by

In 30 years time these people will be in the history books for taking non violent direct action to save the world

Certainly over time attitude towards them will become more favourable I think. Them disrupting traffic etc will just be something written in the textbooks.

I reckon the suffragettes pissed quite a few people off with their antics back in the day.

Think they should sit outside the Chinese Embassy and demonstrate against their announcement to build more coal fired power stations. Roll on frosty mornings, that should help deter them.
