I don't know what these people think they are achieving. I think the mum was in a cab which looks like an electric car anyway, they refuse to let her get past.

As pointed out by PM, the vegans amongst them dont mind their avocados being flown over do they.

Their slow walking and smirks irritate mi dont think they know how stupid they look.

Fab video this morning of them painting a window and a man power washing it and them 🤣

Can I just point out that vegetarians and vegans are capable of making further ethical choices. My local vegetarian cafe no longer serves avocado on toast but serves mashed up peas and egg on toast instead due to air miles and water usage.

DP and I were discussing the JSO people earlier. There's something wrong (well obviously!) but they seem drugged or hypnotised, unfocused. I feel like there's something else going on here.

You might have a point. There is a certain demographic in the Western world right now, like the trans activists, who are so sure they are right and noble and good that no one can get through to them. They behave just like religious fundamentalists which I have experience with, or even terrorists.

You see it when the are invited onto the news to talk, they make themselves look worse and aren't calm or collected enough to get their actual message across. They behave like cult followers. I think this is the new religion.

Does anyone know if they have training before they go on their walkabouts?

I've watched a lot of the videos and they all seem (mostly) to be intent on not making eye contact with the public, staring into the distance, and refusing to communicate at all with anyone having a go at them.

The only time I've seen anyone 'react' is when a car nudges them and then the keep turning to watch their backs.

I detest them as they are passive aggressive and know that if anyone shows violence towards them, they will be in the wrong.

Look at that women some months ago who nudged them with her big SUV as she was trying to get her child to school. She got a conviction yet these idiots got away with nothing.

Did you see the one squealing.about being 'assaulted ' for being pushed after she threw paint over stuff. She claims she didnt throw paint while stood with paint on her.

Destroying things, affecting other peoples lives but you cant push her. Theure pathetic.

And of course, they don't use fuel of any kind to get to London do they?

One of them was identified some months back- well to do Cambridge person (can't remember if she was an academic or what - middle aged woman) and I wonder if she walked to London?

I’m a non meat eater. Lots of people eat avocados. Most food is flown in.
Please don’t discriminate against all vegans and vegetarians because of a few disruptive twats who probably aren’t even non meat eaters (hence check out the leather )

We are not all like this.

ATerrorofLeftovers · 22/07/2023 15:05

Agreed. The lack of empathy for a parent with a sick child is chilling.

Just complete tunnel vision in favour of their personal hobbyhorse.

When did the mother in the video state the child was sick...

I'm a vegetarian. I'm not.

I'm referring directly to the idiots claiming to be vegan and making a more general point of them ignoring what suits them.

I'm not. I didnt write that thread. Neither did anyone here
Silly comparison.

Which in many places in London don’t actually exist due to many many one way roads.

But which existed in this case, as evidenced by the video.

I dont necessarily disagree but it's so contentious on here that will derail.

So?you still havent told me why they should have to drive round?

TRexTara · 22/07/2023 18:13

@WildUnchartedWaters Absolutely. I should have thought of that.

@Flickersy
Firstly you saying she lied about her sick baby is vile.

Either way, why should she have to go round? Why?

A) I didn't say she lied.

B) because presumably she wants to get her child to hospital and I would also presume that's more important to her than arguing with idiots in the road.

Sorry, you implied it.

You seem to be critiquing the poor members of the public on their actions.

Bizarre behaviour.

They did , last week- but it was a one-off. Another group circled them and 'kettled them' onto the pavement.

That will be this. Note the "my mum lives in Canada and I have family in the South of France". Guess she won't be seeing them again ever then.

No, I'm questioning the rationale of wasting time arguing with JSO protesters when you have an alternative option to get your child to hospital.

I also am sceptical about the exact facts of the matter and the Sun's agenda.

TRexTara · 22/07/2023 18:16

@Flickersy from what I can see she was in a cab. No cab driver is going to risk their livelihoods making a risky move like that. Plus, this might be the only route to the hospital. Double plus, they could have round the back of her and let her through.
