There are a few Just Stop Oil threads around and I've noticed that a couple of posters have stated that the protesters are not very nice people.
Which got me thinking .....
A few years ago, I was in a horrible relationship with a rather unpleasant guy - a selfish, alcoholic, abusive cheater, who treated me like dirt and ended up stealing a considerable amount of money from me. Despite being a daily meat eater, regularly flying, driving a gas guzzler, having children etc. he would regularly pontificate on saving the environment (and would castigate me on environmental grounds for having a cat - even though I'm a childless vegetarian, who never flies!). Needless to say, the whole experience made me very unhappy.
Fast forward to the present, and I gather that he is now a very active Just Stop Oil protester.
Now, I'm bracing myself to be shot down in flames, as I appreciate that of course, it's unreasonable to judge an entire movement based on one bad apple.
But could it be the case, that there is something about JSO that attracts these nasty characters? Just wondering ......
