Cressida Gething missing bro's wedding

[PeachSnake]

AIBU to not give a shit and wish she had a much longer sentence?
Mum of jailed Just Stop Oil eco-yob moans 'she'll miss her brother's wedding' | UK | News | Express.co.uk

If she wanted to go to the wedding, she shouldn’t have broken the law. If she thinks the protest is that important, she should suck up the punishment. Suffragettes did not complain about missing parties when they were imprisoned for protesting!

I think the sentence is sufficient.

But it's more than rich that we're supposed to care about her missing her brother's wedding. What about all the people who missed important events because of her actions?

That statement from her mother is totally tone deaf and will do absolutely nothing to drive sympathy for her - quite the opposite.

I don't care at all

I work in a prison and see prisoners miss out on things everyday.

She's nobody special

The epitome of privilege. Like most of the JSO morons.

How many people missed weddings, funerals, chemotherapy appointments, job interviews or whatever else thanks to her tomfuckery??

Oh the irony

Although the sentence is harsh at four years I thought the mother was very tin-eared by opening her speech with talk of a missed wedding!

I imagined a chorus around the country of 'so what, thousands of people missed work, appointments, all sorts of things when stuck on the M25'.

Perfect, she can spend her jail time reflecting on how she made the people who also missed out on very important events feel when she pulled her little stunt.

eco-yob is about as express as it gets 😅

She didn't give a flying feck about all the people she blocked not getting to their engagements, so why should anyone give a flying feck about what she is missing.

I did see a comment about people going and spraying orange veg paint all over the brothers wedding too.

Sucks being on the other end doesn't it Cressida.

Awww... poor Cressie. Too bad, so sad.

You do the crime, you do the time, as they say.

Never mind,I'm sure mummy will take lots of photos.

It was her brother’s speech that was even worse.

The hypocrisy that she would have flown to be at his wedding.

Please could someone of the 15% give their opinion because I was sure this would be 100% agreeing with OP.

I think four years was a very harsh sentence. I think prison was the right sentence but I don't think four years is especially proportionate.

However, she would have been aware at the time that she was committing an offence that could result in a lengthy sentence, so that was a risk she chose to take. And I couldn't give even the tiniest of shits that she's going to miss her brother's wedding. She made her bed and she can lie in it.

I care a lot about the environment and I have sympathy with the actual cause that organisations like JSO and Extinction Rebellion are fighting for. But I think they're probably doing more harm than good with their particular tactics at times - when they do things like this, they actually distract people from the core message.

The sense of entitlement is high in that family.
what about ambulances that couldn’t get people to hospital? People missing saying their last goodbyes? Etc etc

Some of those people that her and her cronies prevented from going about their business might have suffered life changing or life sentences themselves as a result of her actions.

I'll just pop this here;
''I think we should let the Just Stop Oil girl out of prison to attend her brother's wedding, but then stage a protest and block the roads.''

Did her protest actually go ahead, though? I thought they were sentenced for conspiracy?

We all know what will happen.
She will put a request in , turn the water works on and get a day release and still be able to go.

I winced when I read the 'she will miss her brother's wedding'. Also, the mother saying that Cressida grew up knowing right from wrong and has a strong moral compass. That she (Cressida) tried the political route but when nothing happend she had to do something - break the law, cause hours and hours of delays, wasting police time and tax payers money.

So cringe.

What a dimwit. She will presumably regret her actions in about 5 years time when her litany of criminal convictions stops her ever getting a real job. As for flying to the wedding, smdh. What about your carbon footprint, Cressie?

But it's her mum? Of course prisoners families are upset about them missing family events- I'm sure that applies to all prisoners? She's not responsible for her adult daughters actions

Yeah, boo hoo.

Dear little Cressie is about to get the wake up call of her life. I don’t suppose there are many ‘kind’ people in the clink.

Oh! Might be the only road block I’d join in!
