That means using logic though.

Interesting the bloke on the top of the train boots somebody in the head.

Do that outside the skydome and you are getting arrested and charged, no wonder the pricks got a slap.

Although I get the causing disruption it seems an odd target. All those people that couldn't get the tube would have ended up having to get even more polluting transport like buses or taxi's, congesting the roads and resulting in even more CO2 in the atmosphere.

It'd be like a vegan burning a wheat field next to an abattoir.

There's definitely a section of these so called activists that are just creating trouble for the sake of it and it's exposed in pathetic attempts like this.

I think what they are doing is mostly good... this was poorly thought about. Efficient public transport should be your friend!

Agreed Ian. Idiotic and loses some public support they’d have gained during their recent protests.

Pretty much everybody agrees that it was a bad move.

Are Shell still headquartered on the south bank? Go fuck that up.

Pathetic people. I'd have phoned work and told them I wasn't able to get in. We've become a nation of snides

Utter shite. Not only were people unable to get to work. There were also night workers who were trying to get home to their families.
These train jumpers were complete twats who deserved what they got.

These were people who acted unilaterally of extinction rebellion apparently. The irganisation had decided not to pursue this course of action.

I wonder if the same line would be said if it had been an amazing success?

It reminds me of when the Trust try and stir things up then try to distance themselves.

Happy to stand corrected, sadly that message will be ignored in the wider context.

Should probably put thins in the Things That Annoy You Thread but Lewis Hamilton really boiled my piss the other day having the barefaced cheek to lecture people on going vegan to prevent climate change.

I will not be lectured to by someone who until recently owned (in practice) a private jet to travel the world in and has spent much of his working life jetting around the world with tonnes of equipment and a huge entourage to drive a car that does around 9mpg round a ring so after 2 hours and 200 miles it ends up precisely where it started from.

Oh, and he just so happens to have opened up a vegan restaurant.

Go fuck yourself Lewis.

Only history will be able to judge that. At the time Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights movement were viewed by a number of people in America as troublemakers and were unnecessarily inconveniencing people on a largely unimportant issue

Why don't people affected (& there are many many of them) by RE activities find out where their leaders & organisers live or work - blockade them in for a week or two. I'm sure it'd be easy to sort everyone doing 2hr shifts...give them a taste of their own medicine!

Hardly representative of the overall movement and it's aims. Every movement has dickheads - some would argue you've named one.

I haven't got an issue with the aims. I'm all for dealing with climate change / alternative energy sources.

However, these freaks are diverting the attention away from the issue at hand, which is the opposite of what they claim to be doing.

They did to at least one of the protesters according to the video posted on metro's website:

He didn't appear to be hurt too badly though.

A bit of a non-story isn't it.

"Our train from Basel was taken out of traffic. So we sat on the floor on 2 different trains. After Göttingen I got a seat.This is no problem of course and I never said it was. Overcrowded trains is a great sign because it means the demand for train travel is high!"

And I don't think she has ever pretended to be a bastion of innocence and virtue has she?

She's just 16 FFS. I admire what she is trying to do. A lot of people though just seem to want to tear her apart at every opportunity (don't mean you, FM).

She's trying to make a difference, naïvely or not and of course she is going to make mistakes and get things wrong on the way.

What were we all doing at 16?

I certainly wasn't getting pushed forward to be the name of an organisation that wanted to get noticed. I wasn't put on a carbon neutral boat where the crew had to fly to save one person getting on a plane.

Yes more needs to be done. But it should be aimed more at China and similar than those less polluting. That is where the difference would be made. China has started to make a difference but it could be done much quicker in some areas.

It seems to be the current way - negatively run people down, rather than try and positively achieve change.

Or spend time calling out young people for getting new phones paid for and promoted by those older. Or trying to deflect from centuries of environmental abuse

It is always easy to criticise & find fault because there are just so many people trying to get an edge using whatever means they can to push their own agenda.

I don't doubt Greta's personal aims were & are genuine. Sadly, I think she has also been & is being cynically used - and taken in further by those using her.

Change is required, but shoving this young lady forward to be shot down (because 'they' will relentlessly pursue her until she is almost completely discredited) will, I suspect, prove somewhat cruel in the longer term.
