      >On Monday the group said that while it had won its “initial demand” to end new fossil fuel exploration licenses, which it said was a “welcome step” the Government had not gone far enough. “Therefore Just Stop Oil supporters will be taking action at airports this summer,” the group said.

      I was assured by many on here that this was all they wanted

      They can protest, but they cannot sabotage the national infrastructure. It’s not a difficult concept.

      Will they get their mums to come out and moan that they have to miss a family wedding now like the M25 lot?

      Good, 5 years each, plenty of time to think about their actions.

      And it’ll send a message to others.

      JSO really get on my thungas. In this country we have pretty ambitious climate targets, carbon budgets set and monitored by an independent body, a political system that has achieved every carbon budget to date.

      Then we have a group like JSO that are so idiotic or disingenuous they think the UK government drilling oil has any impact on the climate. It’s a demand based carteled product, dumb-dumbs. If BP release some oil on the market OPEC just releases less. No more or less gets burned. They’re not heroes, they’re malcontents who have no ideas on how to stem climate change so are just flailing about causing damage.

      History will see these folks as heroes and your grandkids will ask you by saying “Where were you?”. What will your cowardly response be?

      If you protest key infrastructure or affect lives via emergency service delays, you and those arrested are liable to pay for the losses incurred.

      End of.

      Protesting on B road or whatever is one thing, risking people’s lives and livelihoods is another.

      Jog on.
