Observer II Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Seems the latest trend in protests is to super glue yourself to an immovable object, but surely, if the coppers pull hard enough, they'll get the idiot protesters and just leave a layer of skin behind ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Good to see there are plenty of coppers to police these demos & the riots expected over Brexit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Personally i would leave them alone if they are glued to a heavy object. Very difficult to get food a drink if both hands glued to something. Also difficult to attend to other bodily needs.🤫 Police only need to keep people away from them for 24/48 hours for their own protection after which they can let their friends try to get them free. The police only need to keep the peace, they are not obliged to remove idiots who superglue themselves to a heavy object by way of protest but they are tasked with keeping them safe from harm, which includes their mates trying to pull them free at a later time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Just doing their job, keeping the peace and not antagonising people. Result is that there is a rowdy but peaceful demonstration, nobody throwing bricks, nobody swinging lump of wood or iron, nobody setting fire to shops or looting and nobody getting injured. They could have waded in with batons,tear gas and the like and would have been condemned for police brutality by the same people who accuse them of not doing their job.

Observer II Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Pity Khan khan't. PS: Believe actress Emma Thompson has just taken a trans-atlantic flight to join the protest; leaving a huge carbon footprint behind her; which tends to sum up the hypocracy of these middle-class snowflakes. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 But don't you see? Miss Thompson has made a yooooooge sacrifice flying all that way to save the planet for us plebs. Ungrateful yobs that we are. 😏😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Seems the tree huggers have now concluded that over-population is the biggest contributory factor to climate change, and are now calling for a one child policy. This will no doubt mean conflict with ethnic and religious groups who currently out-breed indigenous Brits; so a big fall out between the snowflakes ! Perhaps they just need to let nature take it's course and climate change will provide the cull ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Seems Jeremy, I'll jump on any bandwagon in a storm, Corbyn; has moved a motion in Parliament, calling for a "Climate Emergency"; which presumably means that we (the UK), ramp up our efforts to impose a form of materialistic austerity ahead of India, China and the US, making our exports increase in price, and our energy too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused52 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I presume it means that some pointless words were added to Hansard documenting a motion passed, signifying nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 That moron Ed "Stone" Milliband has been on the BBC today pushing this rot. The truth is that if we stopped producing any emissions at all from burning fossil fuels (i.e. all committed suicide) tomorrow, the emissions produced by China and India would have made up the global shortfall within a fortnight. How any of our political class are still in a job is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a few hours not days and the marathons are usually on Sunday to minimise the disruption, the events are publicised so it is no surprise and diversions are put in place, emergency services notified, traffic signals bought and put in place, marshals hired, licence applyed for and given, insurance purchased Wonder how many of these things the protesters have adhared to? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 The average CO2e emission from a jet aircraft flying from Heathrow to Los Angeles Int. Airport is 2.85 tonnes of CO2e Flights across the 'pond' at 0705hrs this morning (24/05/2019), that is rather a large amount of CO2e emitted into the atmosphere and todays do good government want a pat on the back for reducing carbon emissions from motor vehicles, rather like piddling against the wind methinks!.
