Extinction Rebellion

Carry a pack of wet wipes for armpit application followed by a blast of deodorant should avert that.

good point well made

Dailymail referring to it as a pyramid structure.

As opposed to a pyramid scheme, something to which XR bears no resemblance at all

if you know of places where you can get free showers in central london, it'd be grand if you could share the information

There's public toilets all around. There's wet wipes. There's soap. Not everyone there is camping the whole time and it's perfectly possible to stay clean when you're away from home for a couple of days. Quite why you're so keen to join in with the childish agenda of dismissing the protesters as being stinky is quite unfathomable.

Ah, so it is name calling now? Make up your mind.

Was that *just* in response to me? Maybe you have conflated a couple of posts, or maybe some of the words you're responding to aren't really there.

It's not all about you.

Ah, good. Was just thrown off by the way you quoted my post.
We have a convention around that. Not sure whether it's in the FAQ's.

You made a general point. I responded with a general point. It's not that hard a concept to understand.

i know i wouldn't be my usual fragrant self after several days without a shower, even if i can wash under the arms in a public loo, even if i had wet wipes.

i know not everyone is camping the whole time. which is why i only mentioned people who'd been camping for several days. quite why you're so keen to keep this going is beyond me, it must be a very quiet time in editor towers for you to carry on about it so. in addition, you seem to have missed the second line of my post

i'm not, and wouldn't, damn xr on the grounds that they might - just might, after several days away from home - not be quite as clean as usual

Was that one for me or Spymaster?

a general point is one for both you and Spymaster

Surprised XR haven’t protested London’s toilets, must be a hotspot for carbon emissions.

there's certainly a campaign to be had there, around accessible and free public toilets in london.

I meant the post I was directly responding to - with the quote!

Not the general point in question, which seemed to be "you and Spy need to make your mind up about whether x is name-calling - no references to context permitted".

Which is fine, obviously, but we need some time to confer, and the second part of #3189 has caused a BSOD on my irony meter which isn't going to be an easy fix.

not to mention that i was under the impression editor and spymaster refused to acknowledge each others' existence due to some peculiar mutual ignore.

I thought they were all around!

Did you ever hear that theory that they were the same person and this rule was some sort of "fourth wall" conceit?

there are public loos in trafalgar square, on the embankment, and on (iirc) broad street in soho. also in mainline stations. but they are frankly few and far between, i think some of them charge (the embankment one did last time i passed by, think trafalgar square might) so more often i'd use the national gallery or the wetherspoons on whitehall. for the size of the city there are very, very few public toilets.

it would explain a great deal

They’re rarely free.

Really cheap and unnecessary dig, that. He clearly was not part of the debate here.

His use of the phrase, reported by his father, is what started this whole thing off.

I still think the phrase was used as an affectionate diminutive by Libertad here on this thread, which does not, of course, mean that other people cannot or do not use it otherwise in other contexts.

 

[andysays]

Shitstirring, as usual.

Mind reading, as usual

going on and on aboot 'stinky' XR supporters and shithole access in central london will not help spring the UK's eco political prisoner Roger from clink will it?

No. Libertad's use of the phrase on here started this all off. Nothing to do with his son.

Let's just assume the boy's been beaten soundly and move on.

If Stinky Rebellion are walking round the edge then should plod wish to arrest them then would they use s12 or s14? Asking for a friend.

further to previous replies, why not just go to prevent breach of the peace?
