A just stop oil protester is going to miss her brothers wedding now that she has been locked up.

Perhaps the many thousands of owners of private jets could be targeted, and not the people who save all year to be able to go on holiday via an EasyJet plane.

Politicians are telling the truth. We are all aware of climate change. I think the speaker who came to the WI meeting sounds somewhat like the Just Stop Oil protesters. Maybe she’s a member.

They are doing their cause a disservice, alienating everyone. However, they are right, we should be taking drastic steps to do something about the climate emergency. We had a speaker at WI last month, who explained to us what a dangerous situation we are in and how close we are to the point of no return. Still people are flying off on holiday and going on cruises, which are two of worst things for climate change. Instead of gluing themselves to motorways they could be educating us and asking why our politicians, of all colours, are not telling us the truth. During the election campaign there was scarcely a mention of the subject. I am an elderly WI member, not a radical protestor, but maybe I will become one as I care about what kind of a planet we are leaving our grandchildren.

Louise Lancaster's husband has done the same "poor thing" speech as his wife will miss seeing their daughter walk down the aisle next summer. That he can be so insensitive to the instances mentioned in court of others missing funerals, cancer treatment appointments etc is astounding and just illustrates how very special and entitled they feel. They totally disregard the chaos the protests caused to thousands of people.

I watched her mother’s speech and was struck by the sheer lack of awareness or acknowledgement of the detrimental effect her daughter’s actions would have on others.

It made it even worse - and gave some insight why "Cressida" and her buddies are such selfish entitled t****s (can't write the word)

In fact I'd say going inside might do her some good, it may open her eyes to the fact that her cell mates will not be coming from the place of privilege she has experienced, in fact the opposite, usually a life of desperation.

And 10 of them arrested at Heathrow today.

And they’ve said we can look forward to a summer of disruption.

And 10 of them arrested at Heathrow today.

In some cases they should be charged with manslaughter if an ambulance can't get through and someone dies. Lock them up for criminal damage to property and for stopping people getting to their destination. Most of them have nothing else to do but join demonstrations.

Someone with very advanced cancer missed their hospital appointment, because of her and her mates. That person had to wait 2 months for a replacement date at a crucial time when every day counts. Is this woman's mother seriously off her head making such an announcement? does she think such wanton disregard for people who are ill, attending funerals or simply working people trying to go about their business that such high jinx disruptions will somehow resonate with the general public. Take your protests to outside the embassies of the countries that are the world's worst polluters. I do believe there is a small section of people who inhabit an entirely different planet.

Oh dear, what a shame. Not!

Entitled people…

Oh boohoo - think of all the people who missed vital hospital appointments or things like funerals, weddings, etc because of their stupid protests. My heart bleeds...NOT!

Oh that’s dreadful!

How can we curtail HER civil liberties! Oh wait a minute ……..

Ooooh sad! How terrible!

Good.
