Couldn't find a specific thread on this, although there is one where we debated the traffic problems they've been causing.
I really really hope that they get decked by a member of the public very soon. Ran onto the playing area at Lord's last week & have twice stopped play at Wimbledon today.
Can you imagine if they were football fans doing this. General Public wouldn't be so nice then would they.
Aaargghhh. Please lock them all up !!

I'm surprised they let him board!!!
Take the point with football fans though, we’d be labelled as hooligans.
Hottest day on record globally y’day and we’ve all got to work together. I know a lot of tackling climate change is out of our hands due to the complexity of carbon output, political collaboration and business, but for me, their actions push people further down a rabbit hole of not caring, if they weren’t that bothered in the first place.
They will say they need to take drastic action, but short sabotaging refineries, coal plants and doing damage to oil and gas infrastructure, their actions aren’t changing anything. I’m not advocating they do destroy such infrastructure, just pointing out that what they’re doing isn’t working in the short, medium or long term.
As an aside, the people that get triggered by them standing in the road and take it into their own hands to move them are also cringe. Unless you’ve got an emergency, then I don’t understand how you feel you’ve got the right to pick someone else up and physically move them. The scene when one of them was on a tube in East London a few years back and got pulled off and fell to the ground and all the commuters started laying into him, disgusting. Some people think that because they’re generally perceived as a nuisance, they have carte blanche to rough them up.
NOT you Golfie.
If you really want to point the finger, aim it at the BBC, Sky and all the broadcast and press outlets.
This thread by it's very nature is feeding the clicks.
Any support they could have had is lost the moment they disrupt peoples free time, their cause may have been high profile at the start, but now it is boring and just a pain in the arse, and what's more it won't make a jot of difference to the powers that be, oil will still be drilled for until a better more sustainable source of energy is widely available...
It's a very important issue and fair play to them for bringing to everyone's attention, otherwise most of us would die, not necessarily from global warming but apathy and sheer laziness to do anything about the problems of our world today!
