Extinction Rebellion

Sounds a dry tome to me - but i don't doubt its essentialism. Something uplifting might be useful. 1984?:D
 
On a similiar note this article is interesting:
The US military is a bigger polluter than more than 100 countries combined
Headline of 100+ countries aside it reckons US army pollution equals that of a medium sized country, Portugal, say.


Also how much have XR been infiltrated I wonder...Cant be very hard.
I would imagine it very likely they have been deeply compromised precisely because of how welcoming to the police XR are. It's part of Roger Hallam's philosphy. He believes with enough influence we can, and should, turn the police (and not just the police) to our side.

I even wonder if they are treating him with relative leniency precisely because they can use him to encourage XR activists to turn themselves in. Is he quite literally a 'useful idiot'?
 
Really fucking stupid stuff that. That hose and branch whipping around out of controll would kill someone if it hit them on the head.
Cant believe they thought it would be a good idea to stand on top of the pump either with a fire hose under full pressure :facepalm:

Not a wonder they only sail their yacht on dry land:rolleyes:
 
it doesn't really look like 'lost control', it looks like the nozzle came out of the hose, or the hose broke:

Probably old kit that's not been serviced for years.

It does look like the branch blew off its coupling. You really shouldn't fuck about with that sort of stuff if you don't know what you're doing. Its really dangerous stuff in the wrong hands.

They are lucky one of them or a member of the public didn't end up with a smashed up leg or worse.

XR have taken a tremendous initiative in spraying the treasury red. Wish i'd thought of it, and i wish it hadn't gone wrong. Bad things happen, but a broken hose doesn't detract from the issues being highlighted - capitalism has to be confronted before it extinguishes life on earth and any prospect of a decent civilisation worthy of humanity.
