Climate & Other Protesters Discussion

[m4rkb]

That wasn't a protest that was pure vandalism

Agreed. There are ways and ways of protesting. That isn't one of them.
Bunch of bellends.

OK. I accept agreement just this once but don't do it again

The 'protest' was just one example, and even if this forum hasn't been taken over yet, the country is surely well on it's way.

Despite all attempts by governments, corporations and leftists fanatics to whip up mass hysteria and scream about man-made climate change it fails to convince sensible, rational normal people as it simply makes no sense. They will have to introduce criminal prosecutions for those who rejects this scam. and the worrying thing is they're already moving to that. The BBC, for example, allows no dissension now. SKY refers to "Climate Emergency". That Greta loon is promoted as the figure head of this cult. Won't be long before it's illegal to be a Climate change heretic. "Hate Speech" probably.

I'd think it's the other way round actually.
It's clear that expressing non socialist views here will put you in the cross hairs in a way that even the clearest and most flagrant breaches of the rules won't as long as you're waving the red flag.
On the other hand, free thinking and common sense is having a renaissance in general society. People have defied the dictats of the establishment to vote against the EU and Labour and that's somewhat broken the spell which made them afraid to speak their minds in the wider world.

Yeah, well as with a lot of other things these days, you don't hear normal people screeching about climate change in the way that you do from the establishment and it's media echo chamber, which have a clear vested interest in the climate change fraud.
I think the government will eventually have to distance itself from the scheme because so very many people see it as a big con, and regard those who champion it as liars or idiots.

Cambridge from ten days ago, fishnets is funny but so entitled:

Why have all these 'liberal progressive' types got the same 'OK yah' accent? It's not regional, it's like something that has developed purely within its own cult.

The BBC went up north to Newcastle a few months ago to garner local opinion about Trumps visit -unrelated to climate change I know, but exactly the same accent was found there. And guess what views were held by people with that accent? They were about Trump not being allowed in because he's a racist, a misogynist etc ........ all according to the mantra people with this accent have been programmed to unthinkingly repeat.

Same with this bunch. They repeat nothing but what they are taught as a mantra and always use their robotic accent to do it.

I've just read that Greta Dumberg is coming to the UK to encourage kids in Bristol not to attend school.
Surely this subversive anarchistic behaviour is not conducive to letting her into the country?

On the other hand maybe we can get an interview with her and quiz her about 'the science' and find out exactly what she knows.

'Ms Thunberg, who is expected to travel by train, is due to make a speech before joining a samba band-accompanied march'.

Diesel only trains on that line.

Samba bands are really good though.

Can't they give her one of those hand operated rail carts you see on old western films or make her walk? Then again all that pumping would cause her to breath out plenty of CO2.

And the band needs to be an acoustic band. We can't have any amplifiers plugged in. Maybe they can take the same approach with her speech an make her shout it or better still make it only available for lip readers.

But I guess her message is important so we need to hear it. We must raise a lot of taxes to pay our friends in the climate business and others who deserve it while making it totally above board and acceptable by getting a lot of brainwashed kids to clamour for it.

What a novel way of imposing taxes.

Err no, they were already doing that.

Are you volunteering to do that? I would pay to see that.

Hello boys
How are things on Fantasy Island?
Your grip on public opinion is about as fragile as your grasp of logic.

That's not to say they look forward to adapting life as a consequence. Me included. But I suspect that people also know that what we will have to do will get increasingly tough the longer governments fail to face up to what is needed.
By the way, what is the vested interest?
Look forward to hearing from you

[Royal24s]

Good job I didn't say that about fantasy island or fragile grips on reality and logic !

As I say though, you can do it because you're from the left, and so that's okay.

As far as the vested interests are concerned, I've told you this at great length including particular cases, so there's not much point in repeating it again.

[Hillman avenger]

No there isn't

I can appreciate you have your views and I have mine. You spend your time pointlessly trying to shoehorn mine into a "leftie" or "socialist" box as you seem to think it somehow helps your argument. It doesn't , and it needlessly aggravates.

But perhaps the most annoying feature is your way of trying to beef up your points by adding that "the majority" agree with you. You give no basis for that assertion, and when anyone shows you evidence you are wrong, that is dealt with by an insult, a snide remark or an attempt to rubbish what are usually very credible source. You have done this on a long list of issues, most recently climate change.
We might all be wrong, although we are overwhelmed by evidence that we are not, but doing what you are doing insults our intelligence.

You may well believe that the great majority who do accept the reality of man-made climate change , and the need to deal with it, have been conned, but there you are. I believe the majority ( well actually it wasn't) who supported Trump, Brexit and Johnson, were conned too, but strangely your objection does not stretch to that.
