Just Stop Oil are my heroes!

[incognit]

I have changed my name for this, but there is so much negativity and hate towards JSO, Insulate Britain, and ER on these boards, that I really want to risk putting my head above the parapet and saying "WOOOHOO! I AM RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!"

These are wonderful people sacrificing their own liberty and careers to bring attention to their cause - and it really works! There have been huge benefits, so many companies are aware of them, and taking steps to avoid being in the firing line by upping their investments in environmental mitigations.

And the huge amount of attention that insulation got- it is now high up on so many agendas! Why did it take protesters gluing themselves to the road to do it? It should have happened anyway, but it didn't. People had to make that sacrifice, but themselves in danger, lose jobs, careers, liberty, etc, to get results.

People moan about having their days disrupted, etc by JSO, without caring how much their days are going to be disrupted by the climate crisis running out of control.

I have cancer. I couldn't get to a chemo appointment once because of JSO. I 100% support their actions. I think their cause is so much bigger than one person. They are acting to protect millions.

No doubt people will come here and bitch and moan and I don't care really, at least anyone from JSO who is on MN will see my thread title.

Oh you've warmed my cockles there! 😁

Absolute bunch of foolish cunts.

but if the OP doesnt care.. and stands with these prize idiots why should a bit of name calling upset them?

utter nonesense...

"WOOOHOO! I AM RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!"

Name changing on an anonymous forum doesn't say I'm willing to stand up and be counted but OK.

Tbf they have provided a low effort, novel and topical costume for stag dos. Makes a change from seeing stags in a dress or smurfs

Of fgs OP, this can't be real 🙄

They are idiots, the mum moaning about the destination wedding is an idiot. Good luck to them in prison, I bet that's come as a right shock to the entitled idiots

Poor Cressida won't even be allowed a bit of wedding cake!!

OhHelloMiss that's good to hear. About time these over privileged wasters get a dose of reality.

Uninformed, ignorant people wanting attention in all the wrong ways.

Protest or petition in a way that can be understood, instead of throwing soup on masterpieces or preventing ambulances from saving lives. That is never going to gain any sympathy, surely?

And are the Stop Oil people vegans?

Just stop oil are a bunch of pretentious wankers

There have been huge benefits, so many companies are aware of them, and taking steps to avoid being in the firing line by upping their investments in environmental mitigations.

whatever are you on about, have you been at rhe sherry, not one company has done any environmental mitigation due to just stop oil. lol . Environmental mitigations are dome for many reasons. Political, economic etc, the one reason it’s never ever been done is jso

Are you the owner of a company and now rethinking your environmental impact? No?

Are you willing to go and glue yourself to a motorway and go to prison and have your family allowed to visit you once a week and cry through a screen but not touch you? No? Why not, if you're 'right behind' them?

Have you changed anything at all in your life in response to this? Sold your car? Decided not to have children? Given up flying? Or were you already 'doing things to save the planet' anyway, in which case they are just preaching to the converted?

Or are you just getting off on being an edgelord and whooping 'RIGHT BEHIND YOU!'

Damn these school holidays! Damn them all to hell!

Purleeeeese tell me you are vegans?! Buying the electric cars with the vegan interior option?!

Well her parents can probably bring her a slice, but I guess the screws will have to finger through it to make sure it doesn't contain drugs or blades...

What a bizarre comment, yeah op they are loving their years in jail. And knowing they never made any difference other than to piss people off,

I respectfully disagree OP.

JSO activists are usually white, privileged, and fucking annoying, and they target people who don't have the same privilege.

When ER was active that Herbert climbed on top of a Jubilee line train. Why? A train that runs on electricity. He also targeted Canning Town where there are a lot of people on low incomes and in unstable employment. No wonder a tube worker had to stop the workers from kicking the activists head in. These blokes are REQUIRED to be on time or they lose a days labour.

They target roads near hospitals, they attack priceless works of art (why?) and they pour paint over ancient monuments (doubly WHY?). They do not give a shit about people and they do not give a shit about our cultural heritage. They are the worst pains in the arses who say they care about everyone and the planet but would rather let someone not get urgent medical treatment in time because there is a fucking point to be made. They are a cult.

My two pence.

One of my work colleagues didn't get to say goodbye to their dying father because these so called wonderful people lay down on the M32 and stopped all traffic including emergency services getting to their destinations.

I have nothing but contempt for them.

Patient: Dr, I'm really worried about what the environment will be like in 30 years?

Doctor: Have you thought about supergluing your hands to the road? 🧐

That's what you sound like, OP.

None of you JSO people care one iota about nature or wildlife; you’re on one big virtue signalling ego trip.

The uk is the most nature deprived country in Europe yet not one JSO oil person protests about the wholesale desecration of our environment.

When nature lovers like me are attempting to save trees from rapacious councils and stopping councils from spraying wildflowers with roundup all you do is destroy paintings and ancient monuments while stopping decent people trying to get to work.

You have a very low bar as to what constitutes a "hero".

Where's the OP gone??

Couldn't have put it better myself. Most of them are just anarchists who have jumped on a bandwagon so they can cause trouble for the shits and giggles. If it wasn't this cause, they'd find some other way of doing it.

Im with you OP.

those of you saying ‘what about funerals’, well it was fucking congestion, caused by lazy people driving for stupid things (and yes, that includes your kids’ football lessons, and your trip to the shops) that caused my friends oldest friends to miss 2/3 of her funeral. Just bloody congestion.

It’s insane that the JSO people - who actually did not DO anything - get 5 years, while the driver who caused the diesel spill near Caterham, which led to the total closure of that road for 2.5 days, and a MASSIVE cleanup operation has not been punished, or even made to pay…
