[News] Water canons are the answer

[BN9 BHA]

Ooh what a giveaway! Bloody tory !

Don't think my post mentioned my political views, I've never voted Tory in my life.
I'm just someone that works very hard for a living.

The problem with these protestors is they need to convince the majority of ordinary, everyday people to believe in their cause, part of which will involve people making lasting changes to their lifestyles and maybe voting patterns in the future. The very people they are frustrating and angering are the ones they need to be on board going forward, in short it is a stupid strategy that alienates the very people their cause depends upon.

I support their purpose but not their methods which will, in my opinion, set their cause back a few steps.

Quite simply everything must change. Not a little change but a huge change to every aspect of our lives. If you have children or grandchildren you should be very very worried.

Exactly. It's not just "their cause" , it's everyone's cause.

But gluing themselves to trains is not going to change that. All is does is p1ss people off and turn them against their message. Doesn't work.

oh...how disappointing I thought this was a new CH out thread

The question: How to rid London's streets of the idiot demonstrators? Giving them a bloody good soaking would very quickly send them packing. Boris had the right idea. Why they were never used I cannot understand. Alternatively, in the case of Waterloo Bridge for example, fence them in. A fence at either end of the bridge and no one is allowed in or out. No food, no potty breaks, no water. They'd pretty quickly lose interest. With so many good ideas, I really should be running the country.

Rich western countries are now annexing the planet’s resources and destroying its ecosystems at an alarming rate.

I might go up and feed the tree-huggers myself

I don't agree with the method of protest but they are not the idiots. I'd rather see water cannons turned on those that still deny human's impact on climate change.

An excellent idea.

...if you want largely peaceful protests to escalate into full scale anti-establishment rioting.

Why are they idiots? We think it’s bad that our football club is sleeping walking towards relegation, but that’s nothing compared to the whole planet sleep walking towards climate disaster.

Exactly. It's not just "their cause" , it's everyone's cause.

The right to protest of one person should not infringe upon the right of another to earn a wage.

 

[Yes Chef]

Yes, let's have someone who can't spell a simple word like 'cannon' running the country.

His canon of posts aren't very clever either

Its in the news and being talked about.. that is a successful start I would say. Something has to change.. either us and our attitudes or the planet will remove most of us. Its our choice to choose

Jesus. The planet is being destroyed and your focus is people having to change/allow more time for their journey to work.

I'm chuckling at the thought of TB setting up a water cannon outside the Amex players entrance and as CH arrives, blasting him at full power, out and over the A27.

 

[Icy Gull]

Can they please **** of from Heathrow today? I am flying, come back tomorrow and protest

 

[zefarelly]

That's being saved for the summer.

An excellent idea.

I thought he was going to suggest that CH should get navy chaplains in; bless the team before they take the pitch

That really is what life is about. Consideration for others. Other species, other opinions, others who disagree with you. We do not all hold the same view and should be prepared to listen to others. Is your opinion more valid than others?

Come on. Anyone who uses the trains will tell you a protester superglued to it is the least o their problems.

If you genuinely cared about others you'd be more concerned by the tens of thousands of people dying from climate change, and the countless species being made extinct - not to mention the generations that follow us who will have to live with the damage we have done - than a handful of Londoners late for work.

Could be worse. Having an actual canon running the country. Or maybe a canon's daughter.
Oh.

The majority are toffs having a jolly at half term, will all be over when they go back to Uni. Inconsiderate dickheads people have lost their jobs due to these wankers.

Personally couldn’t get to a job yesterday to repair a fire alarm, let’s hope a fire situation doesn’t happen over the weekend and lives are lost.

The protesters somehow will have blood on their hands due to their actions.
