Yeh but surely even for xr trying to influence a parliamentary political party must in itself be a political act, before the field is widened under the skunk anansie axiom

If you mean #613 you'll see I was talking about individuals I know, not the organisation (maybe the word "movement" was ambiguous).
The organisation is pretty fudgy on the matter in an attempt to not alienate people.
Also, the way it is organised is pretty weird. The leadership seems pretty unreachable to the rank and file. A good deal of "tyranny of structurelessness" going on, too.

I've just read IB's open letter to the British public
"You have a choice. To act, to come and join us help change the tide of history, or to be a bystander and be complicit in enabling genocide."
That's their egotistical zealotry on full display. You're either with them or against them. Fail to glue yourself to a motorway to get the government to use general taxation to stuff everyone's home with Kingspan by 2025 or you're a genocide enabler.

Hopefully not everyone's home what with Grenfell still being pretty fresh in our minds.

That really is quite bonkers stuff to come out with on a number of levels.

There's plenty of places to glue yourself without inconveniencing the public or emergency services. I would suggest tourist attractions, that railing fence at downing st or buck house
they have a good idea that they are spoiling

When it comes to the angry motorists, speak with an emergency worker and they'll tell you it's nothing new, as they cut the dead and dying from cars on motorways, the one lane left open is filled with savagely angry abuse from those who's life has been ruined by missing Eastenders and so on.

That is bizarre. You'd think they could have someone record these people and their reg numbers and pass their details to the police - have them do something useful.

It's not (much of) a crime to shout 'wanker!' at someone, and when there's literally 100's doing the same thing....

I think you could argue easily enough that shouting insults at the emergency services while they may be trying to save someone's life qualifies as obstructing the actions of the emergency services. Max £10,000 fine. Enough to make even the relatively wealthy consider the utility of not being a cunt.

Sorry, thought it was clear I didn't mean an emergency worker.
Police could just find a PCSO who knows how to set up a reasonably covert camera.

I'm starting to seriously consider the possibility that XR and its offshoots are secretly sponsored by the fossil fuels industry, in order to make climate change activists look like a bunch of bull-headed incompetents. Because the other explanation is that they really are that daft.
The part of that message which actually addresses the general public is just absolutely fucking awful. A lot of people are feeling powerless in the face of government foot-dragging and corporate green-washing when it comes to tackling climate change. So how the fuck does saying, in effect, "join us or be complicit in genocide" win anyone like that over?

my take on people who have disrupted my life as a car driver in the last 6 months
how many daft dick heads who were bring roads to a standtill because the cars fuild tank was just slight below half way
parking in queues, double parking, fighting and forcing traffic to slow down around every petrol station in the country
muppets with their hearts in the right place
vs
muppets looking out for themselves

Wonder how people feel about this protest RAC demands retailers cut petrol by 6p as filling family car hits £80

If only there was some kind of tax rebated diesel available for agricultural uses.
They could dye it red or something.

Well that worked didn't it?
Ballsy as fuck, my arse!
The bloke's a fucking bellend extraordinaire. See how he feels when he gets out of stir and finds that as opposed to 10 people taking his place, support for this nonsense has melted away like snow on a stove!
Silly cunt.
Melting away…

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
It's probably going for a lot of users, but not farmers.

I am surprised then you aren't proffering a view on the protest I mention in 654It's probably going for a lot of users, but not farmers.
