Stuck it on the UK climate thread krtek a houby. It was interesting; Packham is really good and comes across well (and very genuine and nice I think), Hallam was a bit shit, Malm much better, but was all quite vague and non-committal. But very much worth a watch and a sign of the times (and maybe of things changing?).

I missed this thread, but I’ve put the prog link on the JSO thread.
I thought it was well worth watching. I was pleased to see criticism of JSO being indiscriminate, although I’d have liked more clarity on direct action: ie targeting fossil fuels directly.
It is instructive that the very impressive Greta Thunburg was arrested for exactly that: directly targeting oil, not random public roads.

One day their house will flood with sewage and the roof will blow off, and they'll end up in some refugee camp in Wiltshire.

Just watched this tonight. Chris Packham is a good egg. Anyway, it was really interesting.That Hallam was annoying though, and only showed the utter poverty of his strategy, namely, his wouldn’t it be great if you got arrested as well schtick. The twat.

Indeed. It made me dislike him more.

Good programme. I think it could have done with more interviews with other people who’ve broken the law doing direct action in our lifetimes in the UK. It was good to mention the suffragettes and India and Apartheid. But that maybe made it seem a bit distant.

Andreas Malm came across surprisingly well - not framed as some evil Bond villain or anything.

I think for terrestrial TV at prime time it was pretty good to raise the question at all. But yes, there were other points I’d have pursued.

Yeah exactly, it’s amazing it happened at all really.
This bit of TV and a long chat I had recently about another XR thing that looks like it might be starting (sounds like it's a Roger Hallam, Lee Jasper, Brian Eno project...) might push me to start a thread on climate strategies. We have plenty of threads, but not one on the actual strategies and plans about how any changes might be achieved.

Greta Thunberg arrested at London oil summit protest
Climate activist taken away by Met police after protesters denounce meeting of fossil fuel executives and ministers
I had LBC on in the car and Nick Ferrari was against it because it wasted police time when so many Londoners are feeling threatened because of what it is going on in the middle East. What a crock of shit.
Well I agree that it was a waste of police time, but perhaps not with the same reasoning as Ferrari.And again

Did you hear the interviewee who had been there, saying "But there were only 17 police and I think London has a lot more than 17 police". Ferrari moved swiftly on after that.
