    The Donald has sparked another refugee crisis and laid the groundwork for the resurrection of IS.

    Shame that environmental concern has been taken over by oddballs like this.

    Do you think drugs might be involved?

    Well, they are very near Parliament square, and it is emerging that not only is there a serious drink problem in the Palace of Varieties, but also a drug problem, so they would know where to go to make a purchase.

    Protests hardly ever work, anyway. Roland knows that.

    If the Government wants to cut the number of obese children, it needs to ban their parents from driving them to and from school.
    This would also ease congestion and air pollution.

    Banning all Chelsea Tractors from urban areas wouldn't hurt either.
    Folks who live & work in rural areas can get by quite adequately with Landrovers.
    There is no valid reason for anybody else to own (or in 99% of cases lease) a 4x4.

    PS:

    Anybody who glues themselves to anything should just be left where they are. Forever.

    It is not often I agree with you @lardiman. But this 100 per cent. My parents never owned a car. To get about I had to walk, cycle or get public transport. Why do you need a Range Rover or something similar on suburban roads? Leave the car at home and let your kids walk, cycle or get Public transport. I have never driven my Children to School. They have made their own way.

    The Extinction Rebellion protest in Berlin is composed of a cross section of normal-looking people.

    Lots of criminals are normal looking people.
    It's about time Climate change protesters who are still law-abiding spoke up against ER.

    ER has a deliberate strategy of damaging law and order by stretching police resources. ER spokespeople boast of planning events designed to make life as difficult as possible for the police to deal with.
    ER are too cowardly to take responsibility for the violence that happens because of their actions against the police. ER is in collusion with all other criminal and terrorist elements who will thrive because the attention of police is divided.
    There is absolutely no need to break the law when protesting in this country.

    And I hear ER has 'legal advisors' watching everything the police do when making arrests.
    Surely a legal advisor should be pointing out to every ER activist that they wouldn't be arrested if they were not deliberataly committing a criminal offence themselves?
    Since when can criminals employ lawyers to observe their own criminal behaviour, merely to ensure that the people whose duty it is to arrest them stick to the letter of the law?
    The hypocrisy of that is beyond breathtaking.

    If there is a major terrorist incident in London, the blood of its victims will be on the hands of every person who helps ER.
    Normal looking people who agree with wasting police time and effort on a massive scale like this should be ashamed of themselves.
    As usual, other people will pay the price for their selfish posturing.

    Sorry, I know I said I wouldn't mention them again.
    But these people are behaving so unreasonably I can't help myself.

    Forest Green Rovers Chairman supports ER.
    He allowed ER volunteers to go round collecting donations at a home game recently.

    I don't know how many police need to be present at a FGR home match, but if I was the local Chief Constable I'd see to it that they were not available for the next fixture, due to the mass lawbreaking ER are indulging in.

    Presumably you feel just as strongly about anyone who supports protests which could turn violent if B****t is not delivered?

    If Article 50 is revoked this country will be under illegal foreign occupation as far as I'm concerned.

    I won't ever support violence or law breaking for any cause, even the freedom of my country (unless those occupying it were obviously and callously hurting and killing defenceless people).
    Though I understand why (for instance) the IRA exists, I could never support its use of intimidation and violence. And I could never support violence against the EU or those who act in its name, here in the UK or anywhere else - even if I can understand why it may happen.

    I recognise that the EU will not use the kind of violence against people who peacefully resist its occupation as the British used long ago in Ireland, or as the Chinese are doing today against the people of Hong Kong.
    Though the UK will no longer be an independent and free democracy in my view, Britain under EU occupation will still be a country where street level law and order is maintained by local police in good faith, and where non-political civil liberties are protected. People will still have the right to protest peacefully.
    Therefore violence against the EU in any form can never be justified.
    Even civil disobedience deliberately designed to drain police resources would be just as wrong as it is today in London.

    I have always condemned all violence. Regarding the protests against Duchatelet for instance, I have said several times I would rather see the Valley gates closed forever and CAFC liquidated, than see one person hurt in the name of anti-RD supporters.

    By the same token I would rather see article 50 revoked tomorrow than see one person hurt in the name of UK independence.
    The apparent rise in racist attacks since the referendum is utterly unjustifiable and indefensible, despite the years of political paralysis since the summer of 2016 doing nothing to ease tensions.

    So Grieve and Hammond have said that even if 'Braveheart' Boris does come up with an acceptable deal with the European Mafia (sorry EU) that they will try and force an extension of the leave date to next year. It is nice that Dumb and Dumber are respecting the wishes of the people in the EU Referendum.!

    Rooney vs Vardy has far more integrity.

    He's going a strange way about it. He says he'll step down after the next election if Momentum lose, and so will Jezza, and the next leader should be a woman. Is he going to change sex? I do not know, but I think we should be told.
