I noticed on another thread that others are convinced that right wing terror groups appear to be the biggest threat to UK democracy.
Well don't be surprised that a bit like those extreme animal rights activists there isn't already a splinter group of these nut jobs planning to blow up a bridge,building or dam or something similar.

Pro USA & Israel

Over-population via people living longer is the real issue. People spending longer in retirement and having better (more expensive) medical facilities available to them.
Birth-rates in the west are actually declining/holding steady, whilst developing countries are seeing more of an increase in birth rates.
Whichever way you cut it, ultimately, we have less resources for a larger world population.

And talking of less resources, why aren't the UK police out catching murderers and burglars ?

"A broadcast journalist said she was handcuffed and in police custody for five hours after being arrested while reporting on a Just Stop Oil protest.

LBC reporter Charlotte Lynch said she was on a road bridge over the M25 in Hertfordshire on Tuesday.

She said she was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a public nuisance, before being released

The spokesman for Rishi Sunak said the prime minister believed it was "vital journalists are able to do their job".

Hertfordshire's Chief Constable Charlie Hall said measures were now in place so legitimate media could carry out their reporting." (BBC website)

The media are actually constructing the news, not reporting it impartially. Perhaps the next time Miss Lynch reports on a serious crime and reports on "lack of police", she should reflect on how her actions may have diverted police resources from more pressing issues to the community.

I disengage, I turn the page.

I fail to understand how causing traffic jams and diverting traffic for many additional miles actually reduces pollution

These idiots probably eat vegetables flown many hundreds/thousands of miles to their supermarkets and use electricity in their homes from nuclear or non-renewable sources.

I think we should make eco-friendly jails for them. Let them sleep
and toilet in cells lined with straw and let them fetch drinking water from the nearest stream. Let them do without heating and lighting for a month and see how they do ?

I’ve been saying this for ages but got shouted down by the tree huggers. Net zero is a target which will never be reached but the upper echelons will persist in trying at the expense of 95% of the worlds population. The worst case rises in temperature are the figures used to implement the taxes we are all going to be hit with. This will impact the third world or poorest countries the most; ironically as their leaders can afford it. Maybe someone has done the maths and millions dying of starvation, cold or un payable health care for diseases is a price being looked at. The sooner people realise it’s all a big con the better. If Mother Earth gets the hump she will let us know. We cannot kill this planet artificially but it or another planet/ comet/ meteor can kill us any time it wants to. Hold on as this s*** is going to get real and there is absolutely nothing us minions will do or can do about it.

Hope the idiot who was jailed meets some new friends inside

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
