[News] Just Stop Oil

Probably nonsense but I have heard that there are different routes between two places so if one road is blocked you can go other ways.

Shouldn’t mock people who might need emergency care. It will be you one day.

Clearly he's not mocking them, he is mocking the people that jump to this argument everytime a protest is mentioned.

The wind always blows. Onshore and offshore wind with the change in tide and we should also use tidal,power.

The wind doesn't always blow, think of still, misty winters days however the tide come in & goes out regular as clockwork, we know exactly when & how much. I just don't understand why more money has not been put into this reliable source of energy. No it's not easy but surely if it was solved far more reliable than wind or solar.

But rubbishing what is a fair argument is the kind of tone-deafness that many JSO supporters seem to think is appropriate.

If I were representing JSO, I’d be saying;

“Whilst we accept we are causing disruption, we feel it is necessary in highlighting the serious nature of our work in saving the planet from global extinction. However, we abide by a code of ethics and do not not condone any situation where lives could be directly threatened by our actions. We therefore will always make way for emergency services. We will never condone violence, including but not limited to the throwing of powder at anyone, and furthermore will always provide media outlets with our protest plans in advance, when marching or protesting in public roadways”.

There. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Maybe I could freelance for them, bit of a side hustle. Like it was for the snooker protestor.

They need a PR expert on team without any extreme views or cultish traits. Someone who knows about how to communicate to the average person without huge amounts of rhetoric and anger.

Win hearts and minds.

I've written enough on the whole disruption argument. My point was that you were getting offended about something that wasn't there.

You can disagree that the target of the mocking isn't appropriate but let's not pretend anyone is mocking people who need emergency help.

Nobody has thrown powder at anybody, nor has anyone found evidence of any ambulance being held up, let alone an emergency blue light.

I get the impression you don’t want to have either your heart nor mind won over, with your gross exaggerations.

Name the occasion and road where an ambulance was held up and provide the link to the news article.

It isn’t left or right but greed. Greedy politicians are pocketing thousands to keep the energy companies sweet, wasting opportunities for renewable energy. Liz Truss used to work for Shell.
Stop believing the propaganda and look at the facts.
Protestors are only criminals because the greedy politicians have changed the law recently to make them into criminals.

Four articles relating to two incidents. Two articles state the protestors moved to let the fire engine through even though it wasn’t on a blue lighter.
The second incident in Oxford Street does show an ambulance but it doesn’t say it was on an emergency.

Emergency vehicles often go out on non emergency trips.

Yes, Brighton fans have marched with placards to the Brighton centre three times to get planning permission for the Amex, and as for open top bus parades, followed by fans walking slowly in the road! Scandalous.

Very disruptive and inconveniencing the whole city.

You can't disrupt anyone. We'll be lucky to be allowed to play any games at this rate.

Shouldn’t mock people who might need emergency care. It will be you one day.

Bit weird you can't see the difference, even weirder you seem to be mocking people that need critical care.

It’s so hard to tell these days whether people are missing the point performatively or genuinely

So you’d be fine if a protestor came into your personal space, at your place of work, and threw some powder (likely toxic) “up in the air” and you happen to get covered in it. That would be fine, would it?

Don’t be silly Sheebo. We are mates, or we were but we can agree to disagree, can’t we, without the personal jibes.
