Off Topic Extinction Rebellion

Not to mention all the additional plastic coffee cups and doughnut wrappers. They are making things worse.

 

Using plastics for me is not the issue.
How they are disposed of is the issue.
It's all too easy for plastics to enter the environment mainly due to lack of education which leads to a lack of respect for the environment.
Manufacturers of products and packaging should be made more responsible for what they put out there.
A deposit return scheme would prevent most bottles and cans entering the environment. Not just a 10 or 20p deposit, make it 50% or more of the cost of the product. Make it worth the effort.
Ban polystyrene products. Polystyrene is the work of the devil.

 

I might go militant

 

My suggestion would be a cut off at 70, everyone gets the chance to make it to the big 7-0, then death by beautiful execution prostitutes....

but then there would be 5 of us left on this board

 

Feck off ya young person

 

what a bunch are arseholes !! they can't beat up blacks and homosexuals , so they will now beat up hippys.

 

People want to go to work, people NEED to go to work to get paid to put food on the table for their families etc.

The protest is supposedly about making changes at Govt level not dicking off people who simply want to go about their business - especially on a system which is significantly more eco-friendly than people using cars

They have scored a massive own goal here

 

Did anyone laugh at Lewis Hamilton's comments about going vegan to save the world yet drives a car for a living, owns a private jet and numerous fuel guzzling vehicles?

 

when is it acceptable to beat people up ?

also these people would get paid anyway! food o the table ?an excuse those thugs want nose candy, beer, iphones the lot. I hope their kids all remember them when there's no food for their kids. Lemmings the lot of you these days !

 

at least he's going something and not just shrugging his shoulders … little things make a difference

 

I thought he sold his private jet for this reason? Regardless I think although well meaning he may be underestimating the problem He is doing something and if everyone did the same it would make a difference.

 

exactly

 

you cannot change the human race easily, but it takes people who are willing to go up against an tide do succeed and certainly not people that only care about themselves.

 

I don't agree with violence generally. I don't think the protestors deserved a kicking, but I do think its acceptable to pull them off the top and use physical force to remove them from the area. Naturally if you start to **** with someone's livelihood, then you know the risk you are taking. They knew they risked getting a kicking by doing what they did. They went ahead anyway, and got one. As I say not my way of dealing with it but people have had enough.

 

late for work for a genuine reason , so don't give this food on the table rubbish !!! only tramps cant put food on the table these days and they don't work , so getting there doesn't matter... just people that can't put anything before their own luxury material items !!! **** all to do with bread on the table … how dare anyone use that fallacy as an excuse to inflict violence on people. even people without jobs eat well these days !!! omg im late for work !! get a grip

 

no food on my table because I'm late ? give over !! it's disgusting these people using that as their justification tbh because there genuinely wont be food for people after they've fed their greedy guts all their lives.

 

I might join the rebellion !!! bring it!!!! over and out !!! leaving thread it's full of selfish lemmings
