Four Just Stop Oil activists jailed for plotting to disrupt Manchester Airport

Indigo Rumbelow makes a reappearance…Not a name you can forget

Just a bit of japes before heading off to work for daddy’s asset management firm.

Less trying to disrupt economic activity and more getting mad at the people who are frustrating planning applications. Protesting to disencumber corporate power would actually be more beneficial. Think of al the solar farms and windfarms that have been tied up. Look at East Pye solar farm and Y Bryn Wind Farm. In the former, Island Green Power Ltd, the company that is trying to ~~mak~~e grub some money by… expanding the UK’s acces to clean electricity is being frustrated by NIMBY locals who fail to realise that their “love of the environment” means stopping something meant to fight global warming. In the latter, Coriolis Energy is or was getting frustrated by inconsiderate locals who have no udnerstanding of causality, that is to say, they can’t link cause and effect. They do believe climate change is real, but what they fail to understand is how their actions are making it worse, that their refusal to just let Coriolis Energy build means Britain is more dependent on fossil fuels than she should be.

And yes, I have to do this, because this is being honest. it is putting the blame where it lies. I don’t really like business, they are a bunch of money grubbing bastards. It is also true that sometimes, just sometimes, they aren’t to blame.

I’m not one for conspiracies, but I could be easily convinced that JSO are entirely funded by big oil to make anti-oil protestors look mad.

I mean there’s no way Indigo Rumbelow is a real name.

Ridiculous. We do more to go after climate protests than actually take climate action.

It’s like getting more annoyed at the fire alarm than the actual fire thet is raging in your house.

So sad these people are such easily manipulated into ruining their lives for a failed publicity stunt

Very clear message being sent here – might as well have an actual riot or something because you’ll get the same amount of jail time anyway.

Ok so I saw the thumbnail before I read the tutle of the post… immediately I knew that they were likely from a privilege background rather than, sorry, the more typical individual in a kug who who tends to be from a lower socio economic background. I know, massive greneralisation, but its probably a fact. So, serious question: what is it about the faces that makes them seem privileged. Obviously we are all human being with faces the characteristics of which are largely down to the obvious: age sex gender. But how can you see a wealthy background. What is it that ny brain saw? X

Wait. I thought these guys hung it up after labour won?

You do need a serious deterrent to prevent people disrupting strategic national infrastructure like hub airports. I’m not sure why community service and a suspended sentence wouldn’t do the job in this case, though.

They are paid protestors. Literally paid to protest. Follow the money.
