They are openly stating that they are prepared to block ambulances carrying seriously ill patients. The Government should add them to the list of designated terrorist organisations and they should treated as such. Absolute scum. I'm a strong believer in karma It is out and out terrorism. I'm just amazed things haven't got violent yet.

Well we know where they got their name.
As soon as I finally arrived home after being delayed by these idiots, the missus pointed at her watch and demanded to know, 'Why are you Insulate?!'

Imagine social media being around during the Suffragette era, I wonder if the outcome would have been different? Protesting without inconveniencing people gets very little exposure from the media and is therefore pretty pointless, just to play devils advocate of course........

Protesting without inconveniencing people gets very little exposure from the media and is therefore pretty pointless, just to play devils advocate of course........ It was, by and large, WWI that prompted votes for women, some women only, after decades of campaigning, and even then it took until 1945 for universal suffrage. People can perfectly understandably complain about the tactics of these people, but strongly worded letters to the Times are easily ignored, and if we take as long to do anything about climate change as we did about voting rights, we're truly fucked. This is just the start. There will be some very difficult decisions to take in the near future about driving and flying everywhere which people are really not going to like. But we've been talking about global warming/climate change for over four decades now and very little has been done about it. So now we're at the stage where genuinely damaging consequences are a much more frequent occurrence. Whilst I wouldn't condone these protesters methods, taking direct action like this is probably much more effective in highlighting leaders' inaction than anything else. The irony is that the response to ban these kind of protests, hand out ASBOs etc will be quick, effective and decisive, whereas the response to the real emergency will be anything but. Let's see if COP26 brings about action rather than the usual platitudes.

Let's see if COP26 brings about action rather than the usual platitudes. Fair points. But I don't think the climate emergency lobby do themselves any favours when since the 70s they have been telling us the world will end every 10 years and then it doesn't. And no I am definitely not a climate change denier or in denial as to the effect humans have with carbon emissions etc. But I am a bit more relaxed in that human innovation will catch up and the tide will begin to turn. Ozone and acid rain were the big thing in the 80s and great steps were taken to assist with that to the point it really isn't topical anymore. Carbon capture could be the next big innovation over the next few years. General pollution is my main current concern I reckon. The shyte getting dumped into the sea and rivers and its devastating impact on nature is something that really needs looking into much more.

The shyte getting dumped into the sea and rivers and its devastating impact on nature is something that really needs looking into much more. You're right about the ozone hole and acid rain, but they were single issues which were addressed by improving industrial emissions (acid rain) and banning CFCs, neither of which was that hard to do or impacted on ordinary people that much. The issue with climate change is that it's a consequence of our everyday way of life. We rely on burning fossil fuel to do everything basically. Changing that will be the difficult thing and require some really unpopular decisions. I wonder if our leaders have the political balls to do it! Rivers and seas are dumping grounds, but, again, that could be resolved fairly easily if there was any political will to ensure that the companies which supposedly manage and treat waste do the job they're supposed to do, instead of worrying more about their profits, and also if the environmental regulators had some genuine teeth. We seem to be intent on lowering environmental standards at present, which is a bit worrying. I hope you're right that innovation will resolve things for us.

To be fair I think air travel is a massive one. And in reality I can accept the fact that I won't be travelling abroad as often as I once did via air. In some regards its a relief, a decent excuse to make do with home and everything the UK has to offer. A ferry to Dublin could become the new exotic destination of choice. Had a great week away in Tenby this summer. Meanwhile celebrities racking up tens of thousands of air miles preaching about taking care of the planet can stick it up their jumper and somewhere else for that matter.

Is this so very far wide of the mark? I get that it won't please the "throw away the key" reactionary brigade but it's about right imo. "Anyone who shares the activists’ profound anxiety about the climate emergency, and deep frustration at the government’s failure to tackle it, is likely to feel at least some sympathy with the protests, even if they disapprove of the tactics. Climate experts agree the UK is lagging behind on home insulation, along with transport. Most of the UK’s carbon reductions so far have come from the energy sector. And while buildings are responsible for around 17% of emissions, our homes are among the draughtiest and least energy-efficient in Europe. For years, environmental campaigners and Green party politicians have pushed the retrofitting of housing as a policy; [without any response from politicians] now, direct action has put insulation in the headlines and kept it there for weeks. [Which is the whole point, is it not?] But activists aiming to influence policy through the power of protest must always be mindful of public opinion. And reaction to the M25 and other blockages should give pause for thought – as Insulate Britain presumably decided when it offered a qualified apology. Tactics that cause large sections of the public to get angry carry political risks. And while the vast majority of the public supports policies to cut emissions, many also feel strongly that they have a right to choose when and how often to drive around. The past few years have seen a flowering of environmental protests, from the divestment movement and challenges to fossil fuel sponsorship, to school strikes. Activists are right that the climate problem cannot be left to politicians; this was tried and it didn’t work. .

They might as well just stop calling it Stoke on Trent Live/The Sent*nel and retitle the 'publication' 'ATTENTION SCUM!'
