    That'll solve that then. As long as activists are punished in a way that satisfies people there'll be no more problems.

    With our new one in, one out prison policy that's 5 proper crims back on the streets to make way for the activists.


    Sustainable policy and no mistake.

    Fine. Jail 'em.

    They're Eco-****s and that's a terrible thing.


    But can we also jail the don't give a **** ****s who rob, mug and shoplift every day to feed their pathetic drug habits, the boardroom ****s who disregard the law in order to maximise profits and the domestic abuse ****s who terrorise their partners and children, rather than giving them community orders or suspended sentences and sending them back on the streets to carry on their crimes?


    Of course, that would necessitate the building of more jails and that ain't gonna happen.


    The Hulks and transportation that's the only answer.

    Lots of coulda woulda shoulda might happen stuff in there though.
    I dare say you could easily write similar things about Govt policy (any Govt) in general due to people missing flights due to a **** train system or people having delayed cancer appointments due to poorly funded (or poorly managed if that’s what you think) systems in the NHS.
    I’m not a particular fan of JSO. I suspect some of them just enjoy thinking they’re being ‘active’ but spare me the righteous indignation Judge Whoever.
    Personally I’d rather you gave severe sentences to people who had actually caused real, definitive, measurable harm to other people such as, you know, assaults and violent crime in general, or those ****ing horrible ****s that rip old vulnerable people off causing much greater harm than someone missing a few hours by a pool in the sun somewhere.

    Crikey, the last Transport Secretary that wilfully failed to resolve the rail drivers and rail staff dispute is going down for a ten stretch.

    For your comments on, let's call them administrators, while it often looks like it, they don't usually set out to cause the issues they so often do, they're simply incompetents. JSO plotted to specifically cause the things mentioned. In fact, if you read the longer document, it's only because they were incompetent that they didn't cause considerably more disruption, which was their stated goal. There are other ways of achieving the same goals, and there's a big argument to be had first over whether the measures they demanded were even needed. The leader is a massive hypocrite, having a big, un-insulated house with several raggedy diesels parked around it.

    As for the others, that's a whole other debate around restitution, retribution and reform, but I wouldn't disagree with your comments in principle.

    Like I say, I’m not a JSO fan.
    I think lots of them are hypocrites (and I particularly like ‘raggedy’ as a description for his vehicles!)
    However strikes also set out to deliberately cause similar disruption, as do some protests in general on every side of the political spectrum.
    I’ve got no issue with the sentence, but can’t help but think that there might just be something encouraging severe sentencing, somewhere behind the scenes, funded by oil companies.
    Either way, let’s see bigger sentences for worse crimes against people then. Bring that on

    Here's a story that got buried by this week's riot news. 22 people have been arrested for planning to protest at Drax power station.

    What was that film where they could read your mind and arrest you for what you were thinking? Probably had Tom Cruise in it.

    Drax still getting loads of questionable subsidies and wood chip from North America.

    There’s always protests at Drax. There’s an entire group set up just for that.
    I’d assumed they were almost permanently planning to protest there.

    The group set up to monitor and bring to account people who were spreading things about covid the government didn’t like has now being made a task force to monitor people protesting about things the government don’t want them to protest about, like immigration for one.

    People on here celebrating the re-opening of an airport. They should be shutting them down as a sign of our commitment to net zero and saving the planet. People should be restricted to one return flight a year.
    I am sure all those who go on about the need for us to take the lead and show the world the way forward will agree.

    That article is a bit like having an article that states that a bus or train produces more emissions than a car. It's true, but it's not the whole picture - showing the amount of energy produced per unit of emissions, or emissions produced per average end user and then comparing the power stations would be a better comparison, but probably not an interesting article.

    It's the Guardian, isn't it. So the average user is going to be reading it specifically for environmental concern articles, so the editor commissions something that will encourage readers to read it. Same reason that the Daily Mail incessantly posts about immigration and Megan Markle.

    Don’t know why anyone mentions immigration. It is not a concern and nobody is bothered about it.
