Not very good though, are they. Revives this:

Extinction Rebellion: Not the Struggle we Need, Pt. 1

The first of a three-part critique of Extinction Rebellion, focussing on their attitudes towards the police, legal system and prison.

Was that post that provoked what was to be Graeber's last tweet before he died.

 

[Dogsauce]

yeah, any chance of them actually doing some of that ‘holding to account’ business rather than fighting for the interests of their wealthy owners, you inflated turkey scrotum?

 

[MrSki]

Think of the poor newsagents who had to sack their paper boys/girls cos the papers were delivered late.

 

[Ax^]

So if they get a late delivery they just sack the paperboys and girls

hope their shops burn down

 

[Ground Elder]

Fair play for that one XR. I also liked this, although I've not read the panels, so may yet find something to quibble with

I love how the Echo writes The S*n in it's reporting of the blockade on Merseyside

Papers such as The Times, The Daily Mail and The S*n were delayed arriving at shops this morning

Extinction Rebellion 'go floppy' when arrested, complains senior Met officer

Protesters’ arrest tactic is a ‘pain in the neck’, Sir Stephen House tells committee hearing

www.theguardian.com

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.

Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.

House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”

Great! Have badges made saying "Stop Being Floppy" .
I used to think XR a bit dodgy, but upsetting Stephen House is good.

“We have asked them to stop being floppy.”

Reminds me of the complaints by Cressida Dick that ER were misusing the law by being non-violent and thereby not being able to attract sufficient penalties for their actions. Followed by the suggestion that stiffer penalties need to be introduced for non-violent actions.

Funny also how the met have got plenty of time for pusuing the likes of Extincion rebellion but refuse to open an investigation into cummings alleged second trip to Durham because they 'haven't got the resources'.

If only Cressida had made this complaint...

You mean Roger Hallam?

Imagine how humiliated he must feel that his supporters don't know his name, as in this graffiti I spotted just off Holloway road today

Sounds like my ex wife

Actually, you get a free Roger Hallan with every large pizza you buy at that place.

I hope he brings his fishing rod.

He is correct though. Uncomfortable as it may be.

Entirely correct. Way before the direct effects of climate change hit western Europe, the social effects will be unavoidable - mass movements of climate refugees and wars caused by resource competition. They're already happening in fact. Millions of people are going to be in unliveable conditions within a decade; what do people think is going to happen?

Thought it was a good stunt myself. Especially as it was by a forces veteran, which is giving the gammons issues.

 

[LDC]

Yeah, I was expecting to think it was a shit idea and a 'PR disaster' or similar but watched it and thought it was OK, the bloke was quite articulate and sensible too.

 

[chilango]

tbh - whatever the wisdom of this stunt - most of the people frothing about it would do so if XR gave out free lollies and helped old ladies across the road.

Plus 11/11 is a traditional site for r/w virtue signalling about "our boys" and the lack of respect of wearing the wrong type of coat or whatever...

 

[killer b]

This looks like a solid action tbh. Reclaiming remembrance from grim faced flag-shagging politicians can't come soon enough.

 

[smokedout]

hmm, maybe I just dislike them so much I can no longer be objective.

It's pretty de rigueur to hate XR. They're the new SWP in that regard.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Don't really see it myself. Well, not in a charitable way. Okay, exclusively in an uncharitable way.
