If they can't get rid of these morons, then it is time the army was sent in to rip up all the tents and other shelters and since it looks as if we are in for a few days of fine dry weather they should send in helicopters to spray water down on them, I bet that would soon disperse them.

Naomi, don't waste your time on a hopeless cause.

// if indeed anything substantial can be done (which I seriously doubt), life has to go on. //

oo-er Mrs ! In this holiest of weeks - can I add a message of hope ?
Life as with things ( cue Notre dame) will be renewed by the Christian message ( oh OK and a billion euros yeah OK coins of the devil, cue the cleansing of the Temple)
what is destroyed will rise again !

The old shall renew the young ( cue Maundy money, young as in not in one's nineties) yeah and the lamb shall lie down with the lion. yea not yeah

(Jesus I need a cardboard pulpit to drag around with me just in case an impromptu sermonette ( or thought for the day ) is needed. Labelled this tower of god is NOT for burning)

the end - almost - until Sunday.

the hopelss cause is you guys having an issue with people standing up for our environment. Never heard of something so ridiculous.


"How dare those ASBOS care about our damn future and existence!"

[spathiphyllum]

people care about getting notre dame back to how it was, what about our climate? lmao. The worlds pathetic.

[Peter Pedant]

// Sometimes I don't believe what I'm reading, danny.//
and do you always believe what your are writing, my sweet ?

[spathiphyllum]

This is danny trying to get a point to me

[Spicerack]

This bloke's not standing for it.

[naomi24]

spath, no one has an issue with anyone standing up for our environment - but these people aren't doing that. They're creating mayhem - and that doesn't solve the problem.

pp, seen a professional yet about your obsession?

[teacake44]

Just in case anyone on here don't know, plastic carrier bags, foil, plastic bottles, and all sorts of rubbish as now reached Antarctica. (nice)

[spathiphyllum]

"and that doesn't solve the problem."

No but it forces something to be done. You can't change the climate by protesting, the protesting causes action, which then changes the climate.


Do you know how protests work? They're trying to get someone with authority to do something.

[naomi24]

spath, what is it going to force?

[naomi24]

teacake, if I could invent something it would be a substitute for plastic. I hate what it's doing to our oceans.

Perhaps these anarchists, if they really care about the planet, would be better employed in educating people in the art of disposing of their rubbish more appropriately.

[spathiphyllum]

I'm not a fortune teller Naomi. You can only assume they hope to force immediate action on the issue with our emissions.

[douglas9401]

You can't change the climate any more than you can make the planet spin in the opposite direction.

A breakfast blunt may make you think otherwise though.

[naomi24]

Emissions are already being addressed. When are you going to take to using a bike, spath, or a horse and cart?

[spathiphyllum]

I have you know my carbon footprint honestly could't be smaller although i did order a chineese last night :S

Attenborough should be in jail for conning gullible idiots.

[spathiphyllum]

spice that is ***.

[spathiphyllum]

if they were chased by polar bears or not, why on earth are they that high up? how would they get down? If there were polar bears on the rock, why would they not film it, and educate us on how polar bears hunt the walruses? Why were polar bears not picking off the deadish ones at the bottom? Makes no sense.
