There has been so far 3 days of climate change protests in Central London and other locations. They’ve disrupted traffic and inconvenienced a few, but have been in the main peaceful and has had a festival atmosphere. It looks like these protests will continue. Personally I feel climate change is a really important issue and should be the one that our esteemed politicians should be acting on and discussing but they aren’t. I’m in no way part of this group but, with some reservations, applaud their efforts and hope it does bring the issue to the fore. It does highlight how far our police resources are stretched that they can’t be stopped though. If you don’t live or work in the capital you probably don’t care about the protest , but hopefully you do care about the issues, and these protests it may be coming to a town near you. What do others think?
Greg and Emma are not going to pay their tax as a protest and Greg says: They can’t send everyone to prison. But we’ll go to prison if necessary.
Well, if they think I am going to pay my taxes to keep them in prison, they've got another think coming. I object most strongly - what a pair of freeloaders thinking that the humble taxpayer is going to give them free board and lodging at HM's pleasure!
That is, if I pay any tax, must check, I am not in the wealthy Hampstead brigade …..
Thanks, but I'll pass on that Gonegirl I've been doing it for decades and it makes no difference if you think of the broader picture but hey...every little counts. ?
I'm really pleased to hear that Gonegirl at least she won't have to share with the likes of Emma Thompson and all the other "first class", top tier, CC hypocrites !
Well I don't eat any meat, game, fur, feather, fowl, shellfish and only eat fresh cod occasionally. Don't drink alcohol do use public transport 95% of the time and rarely fly. Last time was 3.5 years ago. I'm a low user of energy and water and recycle a lot, buy loose fruit and veg and compost peelings and eggshells. I even use coffee grounds to keep slugs off plants. Not a lot more I can do.
She seriously didn’t say that did she JenniferEccles good grief the woman is deranged.
So whose for a baby shower weekend in New York anyone?
Why am I thinking this cutting flights is just for the ordinary people and not celebs/royals/politicians and of course climate change warriors flying to summits to discuss how awful flying is.
Ah gillybob but don't forget that the Queen of the hypocritical luvvies Emma (I'm so Green) Thomson reckoned she offset her LA to London flight by using wooden knives and forks!!
No it’s not simply over population but according to the chief climate change advise committee it’s a huge impact. We are all living longer and some of the religions in this world encourage big families and shun contraception.
No one will address this, and it’s easy to see why.
