In 20 years time, private jets will be referred to as one of the 'scandals of the millennium'. I promise you. Taylor Swift's mild inconvenience will also pale into insignificance when large parts of our planet become uninhabitable. Parts of Stoke have been uninhabitable for years. Only Burslem.

Places like this where there has no doubt been private jets flown in and lots of gas guzzling cars then yes, and it keeps it in the news, things like Stonehenge and art galleries then no.

It keeps it in the news for sure mate but it doesn't get people supporting their cause imo.

I don't think it'll negatively affect their current level of support, surely getting in the news and people talking about it brings it to the attention of more people, some of whom will be sympathetic to their cause, some won't. Much like the Reform party really in that (specific) regard 🙂

So let me see, an anonymous office block in Stoke or in front of 20k+ people and national Sky tv coverage, mmm let me see. Only 40.6% of electricity is generated each day is from renewables. So the logical conclusion is games should always be played behind closed doors, as even if everyone travelled to the ground by electric vehicle, they are adding ~60% to the generation footprint. As for only having 1 helicopter, jeez.

True enough, it's still all about 'awareness' of the cause tho and what both entities want is much more of that, they're not bothered about the people not interested they just want to reach as big an audience as possible, they both seem to have succeeded.

Once again someone here is talking about what this group is doing without knowing the reasons behind, it's been said many times, they don't want to stop oil now, immediately, they are about no new oil or gas exploration, they believe there is enough coming out of existing fields whilst the network is transformed away away from oil/gas

Crash our economy, create civil unrest and hope Putin, the panda bear and the likes of fatty in N Korea do the same. I mean what in the fuck could possibly go wrong......I'm on board. Although when I sober up I may change my mind.....

Maybe the suffragettes wanting votes for women should have just sent a strongly worded letter to the government and left it at that ? Or Cromwell and the peasants should have just kept grovelling in the dirt whilst the Kings and Lords taxed them to high heaven and lived the life of luxury dictating what they wanted ?

Hold the incoming Labour government to it's manifesto commitment of no new oil and gas licences for the North Sea. If it doesn't there's your target for orange paint.

It wouldn't last as long as some of the feigned injuries from players so cant see it being an issue, but as I highlighted, they only have 1 helicopter and are probably not even on their radars.

Hopefully they will hold to their pledge, but we know what all governments do and say are never the same. Not my target, their target.
