Frustrating neighbour.

[Vivienne1000]

One of our neighbours is part of The Palestine Action group and constantly posts all over social media. His partner is an activist - seems to hate every British Company and is part of the Stop Oil group. She drives a petrol car and has gas central heating. They are very wealthy and pay for others to do everything for them. He appears on TV now and then as a chef and is very smiley but seems to hate Britain. They have divided our neighbourhood. A the moment I ignore them, by avoiding them, which is what they do too. But I wish people could see how hypocritical these people can be. All their wealth is inherited and if you want a typical champagne socialist there you have them.

@Vivienne1000 literally no one agrees with you. You have the answer you need!

There are many reasons we are being pushed to electric cars. Genuine climate concerns aren’t really one of them. If they were, the infrastructure would be changed to push hydrogen vehicles.

You need to do some more research. It's a little more than 'being involved in some demos'.

Below is from Hansard, a debate in HoC in September. This is what Dan Jarvis said:

Some of those holding placards in support of Palestine Action may not know the extent of its activities. It has conducted an escalating campaign involving intimidation and sustained criminal damage, including to Britain’s national security infrastructure. Some of its attacks have involved the use of weapons, resulting in alleged violence and serious injuries to individuals. Palestine Action’s members have been charged with violent disorder, grievous bodily harm with intent, actual bodily harm, criminal damage and aggravated burglary—charges that include, in the assessment of the independent Crown Prosecution Service, a terrorism connection.

These are not the actions of a legitimate protest group, and for a Government to ignore expert security assessments, advice and recommendations would be highly irresponsible. Were there to be further serious attacks or injuries, questions would rightly be asked about why action had not been taken.

If someone is on your social media is a nutter block them and if they talk about it say you do not discuss politics

OR a Hamas supporting one

Yes well thats the propaganda.

Thank you.

Ok, well, if we're at the point where the security services, the police, ministers and everyone else in any position of authority is colluding in some state-sanctioned propaganda, then we really are fucked.

Back in the real world however...

And did you read the bit about 'grevious bodily harm with intent' @UxmalFan

Still think it's just some hippies waving flags at demos?

If petrol isn’t bad, why does she sit on bridges and chain herself to railings? Then jet set around the world, use a petrol car and have gas heating?
Shows what a load of tosh that Just stop Oil is.

OP you are wasting your time expecting any agreement on here. Most people simply post to be disagreeable or facetious for some reason.

I agree.

We've nearly got a good mud slinging match going....

Truly, in this respect our country is fucked. This is why so many peaceful people are standing up to the erosion of our freedom to peacefully protest. We are not idiots and we do our research.
I know that I won't convince you but thank you for reading this.

Someone who sits on bridges and chains themselves to railings probably isn’t someone to follow for logic 😂 I heard her house is actually heated by hot air…

You have a vote in part because the suffragettes chained themselves to railings, blew stuff up and defaced golf courses.

Would you have the same attitude towards someone displaying racist opinions against black people?
The amount of replies excusing antisemitism on here is disgusting, especially given how recent the last attack on Jews was.

You should look up the Suffragettes, you’d be appalled.

Where’s the antisemitism? Where are my posts excusing them?

I have yet to come across a thread like that, do provide a link.

You clearly have an agenda that is nothing to do with your neighbours!

You said that someone publicly supporting a terrorist organisation targeting Jews is "not directly impacting her in any way", and that the thread was started for "bashing", as if you dont see anything wrong with that organisation and its aims and views.
If you aren't aware of PAs actions and views then research it a bit before showing support for them.

The violence of the Suffragettes was not justified either and historians are divided on whether it turned more people against their cause than for it.

Anyway, violence per se was not the point of my post. I was responding to a PP who claimed that Palestine Action were taking part in peaceful demonstrations which is not the full picture. (Unless PP's claims of state propaganda are true, in which case I take back everything I said.)

Sounds like you're obsessed with their lives.

If he's openly supporting them tell the police, it is an offence. Or is it one of the other pro Palestine groups that isn't banned as a terrorist organisation?

Interesting replies. When I’ve read posts from people with neighbours who have Union Jack or English flags displayed MN thinks they are racist and disgraceful, displaying posters supporting a banned group is fine though 😂
