Giving licences for new fossil fuels is madness, we need to move away quickly if we are to stop further damage.
Many of the protestors have pink hair don't they? And therefore demonstrate that they have no concern whatsoever about the proliferation of PFAS chemicals that are so prevalent in many make-up and hair products. For those that don't know, PFAS chemicals are otherwise known as "forever" chemicals because they are impossible to get rid of.

If the delay of hypothetical emergency service vehicles upsets you, you must be absolutely furious about this...ValleyGary said:

And illegal criminal acts are OK if they don't delay you getting to work.
Just so I understand..
They don’t upset me, they stop genuine hard work civilians from getting to work and putting food on the table and they stop emergency services from saving lives. I’d imagine that upsets them greatly.If their protests were aimed in the right direction then they would get a lot more support and it would actually be beneficial to the ultimate cause (see Charlton fans in Belgium).
This is just damaging in more ways than one.

The parents of the partner of one of my daughters missed their flight from Stansted Airport because of the antics of those two scumbags. So they lost at least a day of their holiday and are out of pocket for a flight plus hotel for a night.

Fertility rate is 1.6 which means that the average European is having 0.8 children. Median age is 43.
People have recently been living longer so the population is still growing (but only after you allow for a million migrants).
But this increase in life expectancy has all but stopped in Europe and the population will soon begin to drop dramatically. We will need mass immigration to provide enough working age people to support our population while it remains formed predominantly of pensioners.
Much the same is happening in the rest of the world except Africa where each person is having two children.1 -

If people have worked hard and saved to take their family away on holiday (especially after what we’ve been through in the last couple of years) only to have it scuppered by these inconsiderate arseholes, then yes, it should be considered.Cloudworm said:

Need to lock them up, i don't care what they are protesting any other country they would not get away with this. There are dozens of ways they could do something positive rather than just affect your average person. Really grates on me, the delays caused to people who are ill (Hospitals), also every day people trying to get to and from work, there is no consideration and have no doubt everyone who gets there probably turns up in a car or some form of public transport, as well most likely bums as no way do you get this much holiday at any business.clive said:The Dartford tunnel has been partly closed after protesters climbed a gantry - affecting traffic on the M25 around London.

Car fire on Detling hill this morning, so took me just over an hour to do the 13 mile drive from Kemsley to Turkey Mill, Maidstone. At this stage it's something every day. It's a 13 mile drive that takes less than half an hour during half term, but takes significantly more outside of school holidays and the journey time not fluctuates day to day, but during a single journey the ETA on Google Maps fluctuates wildly.
And it's only going to get well as the Stockbury roundabout roadworks continue (still 2 years to go!)0 -
I missed my flight back to San Francisco yesterday because of protesters on the M25. Left Bromley at 7am but still wasn’t enough. Gridlock. Flying back today now. I had a nice night’s stay at the Hilton at Heathrow though.0

Often drive past The Bank of China and the Chinese embassy and never seen so much as a squeak to these establishments that help prop up probably one of THE biggest consumers of oil4

the west has outsourced a lot of its carbon emissions to countries like China - they produce so much and use so much because of the demand for it. Not to say they shouldn't make strides (they do a lot already) but the issue is over consumption by rich nations. Certainly not people having too many babies as others have alluded too...carly burn said:Often drive past The Bank of China and the Chinese embassy and never seen so much as a squeak to these establishments that help prop up probably one of THE biggest consumers of oil3 -

If they are serious about stopping oil production etc then that's where they should be.....not on a gantry in Essex !!!
Oh, but of course, protesting there would see much harsher punishment I'm sure.4 -
Literally just had this argument/ debate on twitter. Someone who doesn't agree with it but said they can't argue that it generates media attention so if in the long run it forces change its worth it. My point was is it worth blood on their hands (Deaths/delays to hospitals/ People getting sacked from jobs as they cant get in or losing money).
Literally however noteworthy the cause, this is not the answer and i despise them for it.2 -
If all protestors are dragged away, charged, convicted and imprisoned then the police/justice system/prisons are going to be put under a lot of strain.
There does not appear to be a finite number of people willing to protest and be arrested.0
