Cressida Gething missing bro's wedding

Absolutely no sympathy!
Every action has a consequence, she's quite old to have only just realised that 🤣

This is just the Express doing what tabloids do best. Stirring to provoke outrage.

Oh boohoo she got a taste of her own medicine didn't she 🤣🤣🤣

No sympathy. She stopped people from getting to life saving treatment! She deserves to miss her brothers wedding!

I saw a video of a woman taking her child to hospital begging those absolute *** to move out of the way and they didn't.

Would not be judging her had she decided to punch them.

Oh I'd say it's entirely predictable the TikTok algorithm would think a mum would be more rage-baity than a dad.

Not a JSO protester planning to FLY to her brother's wedding... 🤣 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I knew they are utter idiots but that's a new level!

If I were a relative in the car with the poor person with aggressive cancer travelling to an appointment they consequently missed (and had to wait 2 months for another appointment), there's a strong possibility I'd also be in the dock for committing a serious assault.

I'm surprised none of these people have yet came to harm as a result of their actions.

I think her mother's message just makes it clear why the daughter seems so entitled. And I am not sensitive to economic privilege at all (it's the norm round here), just to children raised to believe they are special when they really are not.

oh dear how sad never mind move on

She is big and grown up and made her choices,

Their ‘economic privilege’ is what affords them the time and effort to do what they do. Students buoyed up by mummy and daddy, pensioners who have money behind them and time on their hands.

Why don’t you see single mothers in minimum wage jobs wasting their time on these stunts? Do they not care about climate change? No, they’re too busy trying to feed their kids and keep roofs over their heads. Not limited to single mothers obviously.

I don’t discriminate in my contempt for those who prevent others from reaching important appointments such as hospital treatment, regardless of their accent, class or economic status.

This. Tough shit.

I have no time for JSO.

I do wonder though how people would react if the mother didn’t have a ‘posh’ accent. Their economic privilege seems to be driving most of the hate here. I would argue that their actions were hideously disruptive regardless of their socioeconomic sfatus.

And goodness, whilst my young adult kids would never do this, if they ever do go off the rails/get in trouble in the future, will it still be my fault for ‘raising a brat’? How long am I culpable as their mum?!

You’re prone to hyperbole somewhat. You think posters don’t have free will and we are all malleable and manipulated? Oh I see, only Cressida et al are unencumbered of parroting and being told what to do by media. She’s a messianic warrior speaking to all us poor thickos and sheepies who are media manipulated. BUT she wanted to manipulate opinion and use media reporting of their disruption to promote her ideological belief

Because it shows her utter hypocrisy that she and her ilk will sabotage other people’s weddings, delay people attending them, berate people for reliance on oil/fossil fuels - but she would have gone on to attend her brother’s wedding overseas involving air travel.

Her brother can do what he likes - but for her and her mother to decry prison sentence because she cannot now attend just show the dissonance.

Agree with you OP. And what an utter waste of a Cambridge education.

The public isn’t pit against itself
The majority don’t support JSO and these protests
The public aren’t vociferously fighting each other over the specifics of application of sentencing guidelines
The only pit is the one Ms Gethin et al dug for themselves, effectively alienating themselves from public

Is the wedding a plane ride away ?

OMG, she was going to fly to the wedding!!

I'm surprised you're surprised, @Inastatus; scratch the surface even slightly of many of these idiots and you'll find the same - they'll flap their gums just so long as someone else is paying the price, but god forbid it should be them

My personal favourite when faced with one of them is to suggest they could forego that new phone or pair of ultra fashionable trainers and keep the older ones a bit longer in defence of the environment

The confused, thousand yard stares are wonderful ...

No one has said they are wholly responsible for people living in poverty. People are, of course, equally angry (if not more so) at the government for driving people into poverty in the first place but this thread is not about that and the fact remains that they have disproportionately impacted the lives of those in poverty.

No, the exact wording was "had the gridlock for which all five of you devoutly hoped come to pass"

This is true, regardless of how self-centred and entitled Cressida and her family seem.

People are just parroting what they have been told by the press and focusing all their attention on this one tiny detail

How easy it is to make the public hate a woman still astounds me.

It's her own fault. She did the crime. I've no sympathy for her.
