Niigata Jack said:Any way Lewis Hamilton supports them, just WTF, I like Hamilton, but he doesn't half come out with some s**t on times, but like most "Celeb's" they live in a different world to the reality of the real world.
Neath_Jack said:Plenty of people in the real world support them Max.
Good on celebs for the support of any perceived wrongs, with their exposure it just means even more people will highlight issues, as you are doing with your post.
Niigata Jack said:Its a bit hypocritical though in it, he travels the world in planes, his job is speeding around race tracks in F1 cars etc.
How many of those protesters will be flying off somewhere for their holibobs, we all do it, you'll be doing it, I'll be doing likewise etc.
Neath_Jack said:We're all hypocrites in one form or another.
We as individuals, and as a country aren't doing anywhere near enough to protect what is left of our planet. That bothers me. We are selfish, to different degrees.
I've no idea how many of those protesters will be flying off anywhere to be honest, not really bothered by it either. This is not about going on holidays. but it is the easy / lazy thing for those that don't care to point at.
We've killed this planet, through greed and self-want, and we are all guilty of that. I'm glad that the youngsters coming through now seem far more savvy and accepting of the situation.
Just Stop Oil have said that the lady who threw orange confetti at the wedding (yes confetti) had nothing to do with them.
Niigata Jack said:We're a tiny little blob on the World Map, what are the Chinese, India, Russia or the US doing, its like everything in this country if government see an opportunity to get yet more money out of Joe public they'll do so, all the while their shares increase massively in their stakes in those relevant areas.

Neath_Jack said:Yeah lets say f*ck it then, nobody else is bothered.
Change doesn't come from doing nothing.
Niigata Jack said:You think we can influence those countries mindsets then?
Those who are protesting in this country need to get on their bikes and peddle along to the Countries that should be leading the way, instead of causing disruption and chaos here and lets see how far they get.
We keep hearing "buzz words" like carbon neutral and green energy and all these companies are focusing on are filling their till's Cher Ching, Cher Ching, Cher Ching that's all they are thinking about, I can guarantee it.
I'll go further, I can have a job in Bridgend and my next job could be in Carmarthen or West Wales areas, where's the fuking sense in all that when they keep harping on about being "Green" and you got senior management complaining that Engineers are sitting idle whilst their Electric vans are Charging, so you tell me as to where their priorities lie. I know exactly where they lie, I hear it at briefings an team meeting, hypocrisy rules.

Niigata Jack said:NJ you got me at it now and on a Sunday, if these companies had any fuking sense they'd make sure that their disruption teams know about the Geography of different post code areas, SA18/19 isn't 2 minutes down the road from SA13 etc.
