Climate Change Demonstrations

And it was a fake Treasury building.

Don't do twitter, but I understand an awful lot of nonsense tweets go on.

According to one tweet the red liquid was composed of LSD and ketamine.

Well I watched the video Gonegirl and I see many problems with it. Are the Assemblies going to be paid positions, full time jobs? Will it be voluntary work or compulsory? He talks a good line but who is going to decide what socio-economic group a randomly chosen person belongs to? Who will be in charge of this random selection since it can't just be like jury service, from the electoral roll? Sounds to me like he'll be top of the tree deciding a great many things. Democracy eh?

Let's get the Citizens Assemblies going then.

They are so hypocritically arrogant they believe they are at liberty to pollute and waste resources at will because they're trying to "educate" the rest of us. What a disgusting waste of water when people the world over are dying from lack of it. We're asked not to waste water in our homes and they wantonly pour 1800 litres on a public space. Using a huge, polluting diesel engine to drive there and then to power the hose is apparently fine as long as some self-appointed XR person is operating it, even if it is in the ULEZ. They don't have a single costed idea for how to implement the change they want.

I wasn't meant to be hilarious . I was deadly serious and making MissA laugh was purely a coincidence.

How can you fail to see that driving a gas guzzling fire engine through a controlled zone without tax and presumably insurance and spraying coloured water all over a listed building is just wrong on so many levels?

Oh yeah. Cos that was really hilarious. "And was the fire engine made of cardboard?"

Takes more to make me laugh.

Once again it stinks of hypocrisy though Gonegirl

and to to quote yourself "some people get it. Others never will".

The Citizens Assemblies they are calling for is an excellent idea.

gilly
That's my favourite comment of the week.

You could try though!

Yeah, course it was Gillybob.

I will leave you to it.

Some people get it. Others never will.

informative

and was the fire engine made of cardboard Gonegirl ?

information here Scroll down a bit and read "The Truth."

It's water coloured with food dye. The rain will wash most of it away. good article

XR need to start practicing what they preach!!!

If they could publish some "research papers" on how to go about tackling climate change along with the economic costings, they might get a better reaction from governments worldwide.

Today's ridiculous stunt will cost thousands of pounds to clear up, but hey ho it's ok for them to polute the waterways, damage a building and drive a non-compliant vehicle into the ULEZ (ultra low emissions zone).

If you or I had done this we would be arrested!!!!

Why have they not been arrested for criminal damage, pollution of the waterways, driving without tax and insurance breaching the low emission zone etc.

This country is going bloomin' mad .

R440 YDT is not taxed. It is also showing a cylinder capacity of 8300cc (8.3litres) and they have driven it into a low emissions zone to protest against climate change?

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Well it isn't is it Urmstongran? But why would that stop them?

Pathetic.

A very expensive and silly stunt.

1800 litres of red dyed water into London's sewage and water treatment plants... how is that eco-friendly?

Looking at the pictures in the Mail, I think that's rather a great stunt!

Can you all try to get your heads around just how serious a matter climate change is? Not for yourselves, but for your grandkids. And their children.

XR can't, mustn't, stop making their demands and keeping those demands in the forefront of government thinking.

Gillybob that was me. I stand by it. Educate your grandchildren in this. They will suffer otherwise.

Well it seems these activists are at it again.

Using an untaxed, diesel lugging fire engine, the hose split as they were trying to spray red paint (fake blood supposedly) over the Treasury building.

Climate protesters used a diesel powered fire engine to pump some random red liquid which would have had a manufacturing carbon footprint onto an historic building which will now require extensive cleaning, likely involving multiple vehicles, equipment and people to be transported in for the clean up.

Is it just me that sees the irony in the point they are trying to make...
