I’m wondering why XR protestors aren’t targeting the Indian, Chinese and Brazilian embassies for example. The Guardian this week told us that 20 firms are behind a third of all carbon emissions. Again, why aren’t these companies being targeted instead of pissing off the general public at large? I know there are a hard core of true environmentalists protesting but I’m certain the majority will have lives of conspicuous middle class consumption. Do as I say not as I do. All this is probably doing Boris Johnson a favour as the professional protesting classes will be taking their eye off the Brexit ball. Also, why don’t they get jobs and start bathing like normal people 👀 Some are retired, sime have taken leave, ... some live off other people's money

Here’s what would impress me with those young folk protesting; they have a mass (recycling) binning of their mobile phones and video game consoles recognising the massive economic harm those devices cause. Oh - and they go on strike when their parents book an overseas holiday insisting on a holiday in the UK. (Of course anyone over 50 would recognise that as being our childhood.) Don't they all give off carbon by breathing constantly? They should do the honourable thing.

An immediate 50% reduction in CO2 generation.

One thing is for certain.
It's over for this organisation.
They're finished in the public's eyes.
Good riddance.

That's a really unpleasant watch. Agree. But it’s not surprising is it. And this, btw, is exactly why the police decided to ban ER protests in London. A timely incident considering the appeal coming up against that decision.

I'm not buying that ER/XR are racist.
They have one sole objective and it has nothing to do with colour.
I don't have any issue with them personally, except that they've never yet made me miss work.
Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed. It’s not overt racism but that insidious, institutional, patronising, patrician racism that non-representative organisations, particularly those formed by white, middle class liberals, suffer from. Well meaning folk but fucking clueless outside the bubble they inhabit. Still need convincing? Try this article from the Guardian.

The Guardian is not happy. More importantly Greta is not happy. How dare they! At least it is something that should unite our posters...those strongly advocating action against climate change and the pro EU fanatics and the others...in condemning this apparent hypocrisy. Seriously, how do they justify it? Any defence of this?
Ciarán Cuffe, an Irish MEP from the Green party, who voted against the projects, said: “Given the severity of the climate emergency and the little time we have left to avert climate catastrophe, it is wrong to spend more public money on fossil fuel investments.
“We are past the time to channel public money into expensive and unnecessary fossil fuel projects when Europe should be investing in energy efficiency and renewables.”
Mind you I think that the EU is largely run by old white men so that will explain it.
