No doubt they’d be heroes for Quackie if they were ill informed students from the University of Twitter moaning about a life saving medical procedure ?Are we in favour, or against peaceful protest?
It’s interesting to see all the ‘freedom’ loving old men frothing at the mouth and supporting Patel legislating for prison sentences for peaceful protest when the cause is one they don’t support.If the protest is something you don't agree with, the coppers should stick the boot in...
On the other hand...
Quite an interesting moral and political topic for debate on a political message board , but guess it’s a bit beyond some who are only here to abuse others .Look at snitch and snatch creating scenarios that no one has said to bitch about.
Fucking idiots.
Shut up idiot.Quite an interesting moral and political topic for debate on a political message board , but guess it’s a bit beyond some who are only here to abuse others .
Nah . As long as it’s annoying you . Boring old fool .Shut up idiot.
They were blocking an ambulance getting through. ‘Peaceful protest’ that could have led to loss of lives.
I am not surprised at all by their behaviour. It is a time honoured principal in the UK that some people will defy the law in full knowledge of the consequences that their actions will bring. It is an important part of 'direct action'.Am I right in thinking that they believe they are trying to save the world from an imminent climate disaster and that they have a moral duty to create as much disorder as possible to raise awareness and effect policy changes ? Why therefore should anyone be surprised by any measures they are prepared to take?
If that was the slightest bit true i’d agree with you .I am not surprised at all by their behaviour. It is a time honoured principal in the UK that some people will defy the law in full knowledge of the consequences that their actions will bring. It is an important part of 'direct action'.
Two things trouble me, firstly, at what point does such direct action become really unacceptable and dangerous. Clearly blocking access to hospital A&E departments is too much as is deliberately violent and intimidatory action. But just where is the line?
The second is the way that the police, presumably under instruction, choose how to respond to different 'causes', contrast the deference shown to Antifa and BLM, culminating in the disgraceful act of 'taking the knee', to the brutal and intimidatory response to, say, anti-lockdown protesters. The differences are striking and disturbing.
Indeed and therein lies the rub.They'd argue that we have reached the point where inaction has become really unacceptable and dangerous
Do you mean the wind in the north sea or Norway?Good job the UK hasn't pissed off its main energy suppliers then.
Whilst Germany continues to mine millions of tons every yearThe UK is sitting on boundless energy but will most likely go short this winter, we are on the edge and it could be catastrophic
