If they just get the terrorists that want to smash vans into people to drive alone these roads it would solve it.
They’d think they’ve done good, these pr1cks would get smaller in numbers.
Win win |  |

I fear you're scribing a level of competence to our current powers that be that simply isn't there. I suspect they're just the environmental equivalent of PETA. |
I mean, it’s pretty obvious to see and I’m calling it now.
I wouldn’t say it’s competence, just the general public’s ability to easily be manipulated by corporations and money. |  |

Their ´protests´ are endangering lives and are unlawful. |
Many many protests are exactly that. |  |

Their main spokesperson was a millionaire property mogul who had a portfolio of uninsulated homes...
When challenged he said he couldn't afford to.
It's not the best hearts and minds winning strategy |
Oh link me to that, I’ve been lazy in my own personal investigations to get perspective as I have had to spend most my time on this topic having to explain the “why” (because climate change is real and a threat) over the group themselves.
XR really need to pipe up on this group IMO, again, screams of someone using the climate crisis to push a profit agenda which is far from the core values of the group. | |

Hey we gave in to the IRA so.
Plus I think the Govt are taking more and more actions to support IBs aims. Maybe in spite of not because of but still. |
"Hey we gave in to the IRA so"
No we havent yet, the UK still occupies a quarter of their country |  |

The IRA was born of corporate greed and frustrations at power.
Nothing’s changed. | |

Imagine being more outraged at the frustrations of commuters / delays caused by environmental protesters than by the ongoing environmental destruction that is occuring on our planet.
Destruction that causes people not to be late for meetings, or to see a relative in hospital, but environmental catastrophe that causes people to die.
If you think I am being simplistic, have a read up of the causes of the conflict in Darfur, and how desertification was a key part in that conflict that is estimated to have cost upwards of 300k lives.
Insulate Britain continue to protest at great personal cost/danger. I for one won't be condemning them, rather listening to them, to their message and recognising that in the big scheme of things, they are the ones on the right side of the environmental argument.
They will undoubtedly p*ss off a lot of people, just like many protesters in history have. That's kind of the point of direct action protesting, to bring to the front of people's minds the need for change. |  |

Imagine spending 18 months locked in, unable to do things, see people, and your final chance to see them in hospital was missed by these cnts. Na your ok mate.

I think one of the problems is that they're attacking not the govt, but the people that they need to convince.
There must be more effective ways of persuading and influencing surely?
The nobleness of the cause isn't in doubt - its the methodology which is probably actually damaging the cause now. |  |

The issue is Ulla - and I have asked this countless times and no one on here has ever given a coherent answer - is tell me a method of protest, that achieves change, without p*ssing people off.
As one of those guys said, we've been writing letters and signing petitions for years.
Answer me that, and I'll happily jump on the band wagon condemning these guys in the knowledge that there is an alternative effective way of ensuring our politicians take the steps to ensure we protect our planet future - without anoying ordinary people.
Am all ears... I really am. | |

I'm not asking you to jump on the band wagon - this is a very complex ethics dilemma and I really do see your point.
One example of a succesful protest not carried out the expense of the general populace would be Marcus Rashford and his food campaign.
One for you: do you think that this campaign has any chance of achieving anything positive? | |

Holding up an ambulance is just stupid - no one's going to say otherwise.
But their protests are about changing govt policy and no one has come up with a more effective way, unless I missed it. | |

Yep. I think there is every chance the govt will be more likely to address the levels of energy waste in the UK as a result. | |

There's actually no indication (yet) that this is an effective campaign and I would argue it's actually hardening hearts and minds against their cause.. | |
