What is the brand of the superglue they are using? As all the stuff I’ve used over the years has been 💩 

No doubt a solvent free, carbon neutral one.

Just for clarity as some people seem confused by the objectives of the protesters:

WE DEMAND 

1

That the UK government immediately promises to fully fund and take responsibility for the insulation of all social housing in Britain by 2025;

2

That the UK government immediately promises to produce within four months a legally binding national plan to fully fund and take responsibility for the full low-energy and low-carbon whole-house retrofit , with no externalised costs, of all homes in Britain by 2030 as part of a just transition to full decarbonisation of all parts of society and the economy.

Its not confusion, the question still stands what has blocking the M25 got to do with that? We're talking about it and it's even got it in thread on here, but what has stopping people getting to work, school, appointments etc causing shed loads of anxiety and animosity, got to do with the "demands" set out by these privileged people? 

Those 2 "demands" outlined above, would surely be much more easily achieved and in a more timely manner, by going directly to the powers-that-be, by lobbying parliament, organising an official online petition etc., rather than going through the public in such a wanky way.

No everything has to be protested or demonstrated for, for people to get your own way. Especially with the power of social media and the Internet as it is today. 

I WANT £1m given to me, so I'll go and block the motorway at rush hour tomorrow. I'll probably get a thread on Charlton Life, and I'll even stick up what my "demand" is, but I won't ever get the money, or any sympathy for that matter

The the word is people could massively help the environment if they stopped eating animals and fish.

So we should superglue a cow and a trout to the m25?

Eating. It is about eating not adhesive.

no protests are about adhesive, doesn't stop people gluing themselves to shit.

Those demands - especially 2) are not only impractical but impossible to enforce.

My house - feck off with your insulation products
I'm allergic to any fibrous material and/or current insulation materials
I live in a Grade 1,2*,2,3 listed building
How do you insulate 13.5" solid brickwork without significantly decreasing the size of my property internally/ ruining it's appearance externally?
What additional ventilation do you provide to prevent interstitial condensation?
Who's going to extent/alter/adapt by internal services so they still operate and are serviceable?
Who is going to adapt my internal and external disabled adaptation so I can still enter, exit and get around my property?
I'm only the Leaseholder, you'll need to get serve notice on the freeholder. They live somewhere in Scotland, Nigeria,  Brazil. Malaysia. Latvia, Pakistan, but I haven't a clue where.
My roof has been leased to my Solar Panel/PV energy supplier. You'll need to serve notice on them, but they went bust a couple of years ago and I've no idea who has the contract now.
Who is going to pay for 500k plus party wall agreements that may be required - and more importantly who's going to enforce them?

If any one of those protesters have considered all those issues - and without others that I can't roll of the top of my head - in their DEMANDS, then I'll wear one of @Henry Irving's cardigans for a month.

Who and what gives them the right to demand something? I demand their punishment is to dip their head in a bucket of pig shit for 30 seconds.

 what you explain is something I know nought about but this is one of their problems (and mine, though im not holding up traffic on the M25 about it) they don't seem to understand the nuance (wanted to put in-tra-cout -sees? but I have no idea how to spell it. )  of what they are demanding. They seem to sit around chatting to other like minded individuals without any understanding or knowledge of what they are actually asking for and how it can be accomplished. They need advisors but unfortunately they cost a bit and no doubt they are working for the people they are against. 

I've read too many instances of people missing cancer treatment etc to have any sort of sympathy for these tree hugging arseholes and their cause. Cannot believe that the police dont just drag them off the road and nick them immediately.

I’d be prepared for it happening again tomorrow morning. Monday, Wednesday and likely Friday seems like the most obvious plan to these shit weasels 

Well there's little deterrent, that much is certain.

All Social Housing should be let with the current up to date insulation standards.

Whenever a property comes up for re-letting the provider should ensure this work is carried out as they would a gas or electrical check.

No excuses.

I agree with loft insulation, double glazing, thermally efficient boiler etc but is it that simple when considering the number of Victorian properties in out housing stock?

Isn’t that what they do?

Did you see the footage posted ?
They didn't remove them for I believe a considerable time.
They were telling them not to worry they would be well looked after and they just had to ask if they needed anything.

Here it is.

No time for them who hold the general public in effect "hostage" on the M25, whilst making unrealistic "demands" of the government....total idealism gone mad..

I don't support such protests but it's not idealistic. It's done within the EU. The problem is that the UK government is clueless. Too many people disagree with any form of socialism so vote conservative. 
There are some people for whom I wonder what would be needed to stop them voting Tory. It's mind boggling.
Just vote Green. No protests needed.
