Staunton   18 #25 Posted October 5, 2021 No, the BBC failed to connect the dots as usual. They reported that 'a month's rain fell in just hours' in the South East overnight, but made no reference to the climate activists busy in the same region this week seeking to raise issues related to the environmental crisis.

Liam Norton is behind the recent road-block protests. One of the main objectives is calling on the Government to insulate all social housing by 2025. Mr Norton has now said he is "terrible" for not practicing what he preaches. I mean, you can't make this stuff up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cheers, I actually asked if there were benefits to not insulating homes well though. Or to not heating them at all?

Highly irresponsible not to report it. I agree if LBC had known  where the protesters where going to be it should have been reported to the police, but would the police have done anything to try and stop them? There’s times when  I’m beginning to think the police are not fit for purpose.      Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
