Why the **** are BLM (But not really because they were all white) protesting in the UK. The UK doesnt have a murdering black people problem, thats a US problem.

When people protest something here like women allowed to be topless or wear burkinis, the retort from conservatives is often to look at how much worse it is in places in the middle east and address those issues instead.

And when people protest something that is affecting people in another part of the world here, the retort is, that's another country's problem!

Conservative logic/ Can't win.

Remarkably similar to far left logic then.

And why the **** did it take so long to clear them out. The pictures show dozens of vehicles, 20-30 police, ambulances etc and hours of closures.

And i cant believe they even made it that far. Surely the UK airports have an armed response units who should have been activated immediately that they began trespassing on the airport property and they shouldnt have had time to dig in.

What a joke.

There is a problem in the UK as well. Specifically around missing persons...

Putting restrictions on CO2 emissions does have an adverse impact on the development of poor African countries.

There is a point in there somewhere (although I don't agree that racism is the cause) that they're trying to make but they're going about highlighting it in an absurd manner.

Yes, it does have an adverse impact in poorer countries, but to say that that's due to racism is absolutely ridiculous. Without having regulations on CO2 emissions the entire world will be suffer, and that includes black people, planet Earth isn't racist..

All I can deduce from this is that essentially they want to have their cake and eat it.

Some black guy might have been late for a meeting due to the airport being closed and lost a big contract and got fired. :eek:

There is a valid point there somewhere. Us white folks burned the shite out of it for a couple of hundred years, blowing whatever we liked into the atmosphere and became quite wealthy and comfortable out of it. Many of the developing countries want a piece of that, only to now be told "Oh no, that is very wrong and evil and bad for the bunny-rabbits!!". I'd be pretty pissed off as well, in all fairness. :pac:

To be fair, was there any scientific data back then that this was bad for the environment or had long last effects? Did people actually realise what was happening with say air pollution.

I should imagine that during the time of the Dark, Satanic Mills oop t'Nowth the fact that the air was yellow an tasted of sulphur would have been scientific enough for most people with functioning minds. But there was money t'be made, lad!

What's the issue with missing persons?haven't heard of that.
There is an issue with stop and search and so on but there is also a big issue with afro-caribean males ages 14-24 stabbing people all the time, it's under reported but some where like Peckham has loads of incidents that barely make the news.
To quote a friend when talking about over policing accusations for Notting hill carnival - when it's Gay Pride people don't get stabbed (both large street festivals)

?

Happens all the time, protests against war, against global problems, against the treatment of certain people, against international leaders, against international situations

That has nothing to do with a small number of very privileged white middle class grade-a morons protesting that the "climate crisis is racist" and other absurd nonsense

Robsweezie · 06-09-2016 06:50PM

occupy = make a ****ing nuisance of themselves

Not really, climate change will hit the poorer regions of the world far worse then the West, if they want to burn their own funeral pyre let them. Besides, Africa and the third world receive massive subsidies in terms of carbon trading which allows the west to buy their quotas of carbon (which I think is a massive fraud dreamt up by qunagocrat morons) so if we all met our Kyoto targets in the morning half of Africa would be howling that we weren't burning enough fossil fuel....

In the latest attention-seeking stunt of the perpetually "marginalised" group, they decided to use boats to invade London city airport, in an attempt to highlight how the "environmental crisis is a racist crisis", and how the "The average salary of a London City Airport user is €136,000..." (I'd like to know where they get these facts), amongst other things.

If they were to be believed, it would seem that this airport is in fact a tool of racist oppression, instead of an opportunity for the local area to benefit from the influx of the super rich (if their stats are somehow correct), and the obvious creation of jobs associated with a busy airport.

What really is their point? How exactly is the environment crisis racist? And more importantly/worryingly, how on earth did airport security allow them on to the runway from a dinghy?

So let me get this right.

Some bunch of gobdaws (being charitable here) decided that they would protest climate change by causing flights to be delayed, possible meaning the aircraft were sitting on runways idling when they could have been in the air on their way, causing flights to be diverted meaning using extra fuel to new destination and more on way back to base or original destination, causing people to have to travel home from airports when they didn't need to, etc, etc.

How much extra carbon emissions did this protest generate I wonder ?

Interesting methods. :rolleyes:

They tried similar at Heathrow.

What I can't understand is that the Met police 'negotiated' with them for six hours before arresting them and taking them away.

Meanwhile the airport was blocked and tens of thousands of people inconvenienced at airports all over europe.

Surely they could have arrived with bolt cutters and cleared them away in 10 minutes... or is this another example of Mets softly softly PC approach??

I actually don't care. My KZ1000 with hatchet-holster is on standby in the shed. See you on the road, scag!

Ilovemybricks · 07-09-2016 01:23AM

It's worrying that they could get onto the runway so easily.

Disappear a few guilty white SJWS and we'll see an end to a lot of this assclownery.

Let's go one better, Instead of using legislation designed to protect society from violence for political ends why not just take these protesters who are at best a pain in the arse and at worst a BIG pain in the arse.....and torture them all to death.

You seem to yearn for the lovely days of the disappeared in Chile, Argentina and various other totalitarian juntas from the freedom of your comfy desk.

Are you seriously advocating that protesters of any kind be "disappeared"? Or is that just tough talk?

Should let planes run over them. They will get up fairly fast

I'm so tough that my desk isn't actually all that comfy.
