Sorry. I’m not sure my post was clear. I don’t think JSO have had any influence whatsoever in there being a minister for Net Zero, in fact, they have had the opposite effect and had they not helped the Tories and right wing media make climate change a political hot potato, the current government...

I think they are almost irrelevant now and will be all but extinct and forgotten soon. Their failed publicity strategy was a symptom of a country where the government and media agenda was dominated by the right wing. Climate change denial was suddenly a real thing because ignorant ‘opinion’...

Sadly, it was their strategy that was wrong. Instead of trying to garner support. They went with news volume and publicity under the old ‘any news is good news’ doctrine. This was actually incredibly successful in itself. Just look at the length of this thread! They got thousands and thousands...

These sentences are the opposite to what the new Prisons Minister stands for. By appointing him, the government have very clearly signalled their direction of travel. However, if they start pilling into the judiciary system like the last lot did, they are just as bad. Whilst it’s not as simple...

In addition, their views on climate change are not extremist, they are backed up by mainstream science. Also, their protest methods are not extremist. Blowing yourself up on a tube train is extremism.

Funny old world.

Looking at the pure evil put away today, you yearn for capital punishment in this country. We are paying for the 21 years imprisonment out of our taxes! I wish there was a way to send them to Rwanda! However, our streets and roads are safe for the next 4 years at least. Just put yourself in...

Bloody quakers. Don’t they have anything better to do?

It’s more to do with their funding being pulled by an influential and wealthy backer. His analysis that the Tories (supported by the rabid right wing press) had managed to paint JSO as public enemy No.1 to the intellectually weakest in our society has meant that they have all but reversed...

This my view of our wonderful country. Rather than retreat into our own little islands letting the foreign owned media dictate the opinions and concerns of the uneducated masses, we need to take back control and start making this country great again. Rather than looking to flounce international...

The disruption is being undertaken because the media (especially right wing media) is putting these stories at the front of their news agenda. It sells newspapers, get viewers and clicks galore because it makes certain types of people very, very angry indeed. The more headlines, the more...

Attempted satire.

Yes - they are perfect for the government’s propaganda and culture wars unfortunately. Rishi’s ‘5 pledges’ will soon be extended to 7 with ‘stop JSO’ and ‘stop women with penises’ added.

Boomer on boomer action! The one with the skateboard might want to reflect on doing EXACTLY what JSO needed him to do gifting them yet another viral video and keeping their cause at the top of search engines. It’s almost as if he was an actor……

And potentially a collapse in the obscene profits from companies like BP who should be investing them into renewables not more oil fields. Hopefully Starmer will not protect them in the same way Sunak has. https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/may/02/bp-profits-energy-windfall-tax-oil-gas

I think a lot of their anger comes from the trashing of environment promises made by the likes of Cameron (who I’m guessing many of the wealthier and older JSO protesters voted for) by the likes of Johnson, Truss but especially Sunak. I suspect, like yourself, a much clearer manifesto will be...

Is this true? Don’t they actually want the UK to rely on green energy?

This incident is covered well here. Three take always: 1. It wasn’t JSO. 2. It well and truly covered up the ‘email’ story. 3. One of our Aussie posters was so incensed at this outrage, he threatened to punch the little old lady if she threw confetti at his wedding.

Their strategy is straight out the Trumpian playbook. Any publicity is good publicity. There is a certain type of person who gets truly triggered by this. If the press gave them no attention, they wouldn’t do it. Rags like the Sun, Express and Mail plaster this shit all over their front pages...

What they want is for people like you to get really worked up, red in the face with rage and the mouth froth dripping. They then require you to go all over social media and bleat about the incident which is exactly what you have done. They have won, you have lost. You’ve given them free...
