Why don't Extinction Rebellion criticise their own supporters, such as Dame Emma Thompson? 

 

Why do prominent Extinction Rebellion leaders such as  Robin Boardman-Pattison declare that flying 'should only be used in emergencies'  - despite his and Dame Emma Thompson's extensive travels jetting around the world?

 

Why do Extinction Rebellion demand that the working class shouldn't fly but think it's acceptable for the rich to do so very frequently?

Well we're going to have to do something sharpish, sooner than later.  The vast majority of protesters' hearts are in the right place but I do agree about the hypocrisy of the high profile media luvvies & entertainers who are seeing this as a trendy campaign to be 'down with the youth' while not making any attempt to change their lifestyles. 

 

Here's another hypocrite:

Allow these  'Extinction Rebellion' creatures to protest legally as is their right. Stop these  'Extinction Rebellion' creatures blocking roads and disrupting ordinary folk going about their day to day lives. Send in the water cannon with indelible dye and spray these clowns, then arrest any who remain and have dye on them as proof they were committing an offence.  Only one problem, we sold the water cannon  off if I remember correctly, so that scuppers that idea then.

oh, right. when you say 'extinction rebellion' , you mean 'some pillock'

 

it's because it seems he's a bit of a pillock.

 

what are X-R demanding ? 

 

three things :

 

• The government must declare a climate "emergency"
• The UK must legally commit to reducing carbon emissions to net zero by 2025
• A citizens' assembly must be formed to "oversee the changes"

 

nothing there about what the working class can and can't do.

Extinction Rebellion spokespeople have stated that their blockading of roads and attempts to overwhelm the system  could disrupt emergency care at hospitals and prevent the police and emergency services from getting to urgent situations. How does this benefit the working class who can't afford private healthcare? 

 

The overwhelmingly white, non-diverse affluent middle-class and extremely wealthy supporters and activists of Extinction Rebellion also feed into a racist narrative of the 'white saviour' - wealthy white people saving the planet. Hurrah! The rich white people are here to save us!

 

These protestors and their families have much higher carbon footprints than most of the working class they seek to punish. The reality is these rich white people have caused most of the problems we have on this planet.

Wealthy white people are NOT a part of the solution.

 

Wealthy white people are a major part of the problem.

So I take it you are in agreement with these lunatics blocking access for the emergency services. I genuinely hope non of your family members will ever be in danger because these creatures have blocked access to the emergency services getting to their aid.

 

The absolute state of you.

Be honest, in 100 years time, with all the nightmare climate consequences those people are going to be dealing with, is arresting people who were trying to stop it going to seem like the right thing to have done in hindsight?

 

Of course it isn't.
