Just Oil Protesters

[Ringwood]

Anybody got a political viewpoint or opinion on these?

 

[MajorR]

They’ve got a point and a right to protest, but what they’re doing is in my opinion well out of order.

 

[Pegojack]

Yes. I agree with their viewpoint on the climate situation, but the ends do not justify the means. Vandalising works of art, blocking roads and inconveniencing thousands of people, or worse, impeding emergency services, etc. Not for me.

 

[Neath_Jack]

Stopping people going about their business is fair game, if they damage property then they’ve overstepped the mark.

 

[Smurph]

Protesting about oil whilst wearing oil derived clothes.

I'd have more respect for them if they protested naked.

The whole point of protesting is to cause inconvenience. The issue with protests for some is that whether you think the protest is ok or not depends almost entirely on whether you’re sympathetic to what they’re protesting about. As with most things, hypocrisy abounds.

What like folk going to work or an ambulance taking somone to hospital or someone going for a medical appointment or someone actually earning some money for their family, that sort of thing. It maybe fair game to them but not for most right thinking folk, just saying like. I think that these JSO have lost any credibility and support from Joe public, could've, should've gone about it in a much more level headed fashion.

Yeah I definitely meant stopping ambulances and people attending medical appointments mate

Please no - most of them are pensioners, not a nice sight.

They are absolute scum in the way they conduct themselves. Ask the people who can't get to work or a hospital appointment their opinion on JSO. The more of them locked up the better.

Should have said otherwise, saves confusion, mate.

I didn’t think it would need explaining to be honest, live and learn though aye

 

[Cooperman]

A valid and relevant topic to raise awareness about, but mostly the wrong way of going about it.

 

[Pentyrchjack]

Desecrating graves (Darwin), ancient monuments (Stonehenge) and works of art is tw@ttish and the goons should be jailed.

Indeed.

In terms of raising awareness I’d argue that the fact that we’re all here talking about them suggests they’re doing pretty well
