They should do a nice friendly protest that everyone can get behind, like all the successful protests of the past.

Well what’s your point then?

Future generations will be baffled that getting to work on time was the priority. Just about sums up our society.

It doesnt matter if you're right if you dont get what you want.
The boomer attitude that got us into this mess perfectly encapsulated in a postClive Evans wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 12:18 pm Things can look very black & white.

They would be better off joining their local amateur dramatic society for all the good their theatrics do.Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 9:35 am Well said caca.
These guys need to protest in a way that doesn’t inconvenience anyone, that’ll work.
Its not just a few people put out, many of them will be travelling to do important things.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 11:56 amWell what’s your point then?

Time will tell if they get what they want, I suspect they will eventually. But either way that statement is absurd! Would you say it doesn’t matter that the civil rights movements through history were right because there’s still racial inequality?

It'll be through technology and winning people over to change their habits.
We should insulate, there used to be schemes (probably when we last had a labour govt), it would save energy and CO2, create jobs etc.Clive Evans wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 12:18 pm Things can look very black & white.

Yes you are. Our electricity mix has already been switched away from coal to wind and solar, so what would you call that?Max B Gold wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 12:31 pmDelusional.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 12:28 pmApple Wumble wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 11:56 am

Burning gas (a fossil fuel) generates 42% of the UK's energy.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 12:33 pmYes you are.

It needs to be 0% but not just in the UK. I blame Thatcher.
Not just in the U.K. i totally agree. And it does need to be 0% and it is moving in the right direction. But the U.K. achieving 0% won’t make a massive difference as other countries fail to go in the same direction.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 1:17 pmIt needs to be 0% but not just in the UK.

Luckily these protestors can't get out of bed early enough to disrupt my journey to work. I also exit the M25 at the M11, which is very difficult to block. Otherwise I could be tempted....
Might as well give up then, given that it will be difficult.Dohnut wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 1:48 pmNot just in the U.K. i totally agree.

I look forward to all these protest groups going over to China and creating disruption. Of course they won’t, they don’t have the balls. And if they did, they wouldn’t have their balls very long. They would just disappear from sight.
This is not a U.K. fight, it is a global fight.
