Just Oil Protesters

[Jack2jack]

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

Yeah but most of it negative, which you could argue is not doing that well at all in raising awareness.......in a positive light.

Awareness and support are two different things.

You could argue that, I wouldn’t necessarily agree but it’s a valid point. Personally I think stopping ambulances and the like is reprehensible but causing general inconvenience and annoyance has been a valid form of protest for years, whether you or I agree with their cause or not.

Hmmm, you could argue, however, if you want support you must bring about awareness in a positive way and not alienate folk in the process.

Only awareness they are raising is negativity towards themselves.

In all the time they've been gluing themselves to the roads they haven't made a blind bit of difference.

Again, protesting isn’t always about “making a difference”.

Fair comment, no argument from me we are a free country, its everyones right to voice an opinion, I just saying the way they are going about it is wrong, just my opinion, I get hat they want folk to sit up and take notice, but they are losing support, if they were a tv programme most would switch off.

If that's the case, then what is the point

To raise awareness. To bring attention to a cause.

Their antics is only brining negativity towards them, if they had a cause at the beginning it's completely lost with what they do.

It's the opinion of 99% of people in this country.

I am yet to read anyone state how JSO have convinced them to move to EV or put solar panels on the roof of their house. The vast majority of comments hold them in contempt.

As I say, very valid topic, but I'm sure they would see different results if they took an alternative approach.

Same way as the rest of us,by car. Probably.
