I got so mad the other day when they were blocking the road and that lady was trying to get to her 81 Yr old mum who'd been taken to hospital.

I'd have kicked their blinking teeth out if I'd been there. Fuck it, I'd gave lifted the ladies car over them so she could get to her mumma.

One of the leaders of this group gave a radio interview the other day and said that he would not move even if there was an emergency ambulance with a dying person onboard trying to get through. These are not good human beings, no matter what their "message" is.

Surely they could get done for manslaughter or attempted manslaughter if that was the case no? They need to be held accountable

I don't agree with that. It's illegal for pedestrians to be on a motorway and this lot appears to be getting away with it.

If you were going to work, catch a flight, a medical or any other appointment and you missed it because of these protesters you have every right to feel angry and annoyed.

I don't agree with riots either. Years ago protesting peacefully meant marching down the high street with banners and chants but no violence or damage to property. You even had to notify the police and local authorities if you were planning one. If you didn't obey the rules the police would disperse the protest.

I prefer that kind of protest. How we got where we are today with people thinking they can just disrupt peoples lives with no consequences, I really don't know.

We probably got here because nobody pays attention to those protests. Least the politicians, who now seem insulated ,pardon the pun, in their own bubbles.

The same politicians who stopped people seeing loved ones in their last breaths and stopped them going to their funerals. Yet they were happy to bed the rules when it suited them. A lot people seem to have forgiven them very quickly.

Regardless of the protestor's message, the very act of inhibiting others going about their perfectly lawful business is criminal sabotage. It's also not democratic.

We have measures to enable citizens to voice their concerns in a democratic manner and they elected to ignore them imperilling themselves and others. That's selfish.

This is as textbook example of how not to win hearts and minds and get the public onside. It's counter-productive and harms the very message they espouse.

They have completely blown it and sabotaged their own message.

They've poured their own petrol on bonfires of their own making, in the vain hope of telling us greater bonfires are coming/are here.

Democracy doesn't always work and the form of democracy we have in this country leaves many unrepresented.

The protests have certainly gained attention. They won't influence any immediate change but then who really believes the democratic process would?

I'd argue it sort of works if you have a good opposition. It works even better if you have parties needing to compromise and work together in coalitions.

But the present situation of an inept govt. and zero prospect of them losing power for the foreseeable future is little better than a one party state.

Extinction rebellion regularly have peaceful demonstrations and they're simply ignored, they barely make local, never mind national news.

For all those caking these people hypocrites, they're not telling us to insulate our houses, they are asking the government to fund it. Climate change will only ever successfully be fought with policy changes, relying on people to do the right thing is absolutely pointless.

Because if you don't reflect the majority your views don't count?

I can understand the frustrations of people that have been directly affected by protests.

But to deny they don't represent a genuine issue is really stupid.

To get angry and threaten violence against people even when you're nowhere near being affected by then is really really stupid.

As for those of you sending personal abuse via private message, get a fucking grip.

Apart from the woman directing personal abuse at my 'floppy tits' wife (whose had nothing to do with any of this). You're not just stupid.

The flippant remarks on this thread involving violence are very unlikely to transpire to real life. They're just voicing their frustrations (albeit in an extreme manner); I highly doubt that anyone here would actually run a protester over.

Meanwhile, IB protesters are very actively advocating manslaughter through the blocking of ambulances and intentionally causing emotional distress.

This is very true and I heard a few of the spokespeople for this protest group on the radio and have made it clear if people die because they can't get treatment that's just collateral damage and in every protest movement people have died. They really just want to cause to disruption and Let's be honest if they keep wondering on to motorways it's not gonna be long until there is a death as a direct result of their actions.

Thats action was part of what got women the vote. Also the suffragettes targeted people that could actually help them further their cause.

I don't have an issue with the cause I do have an issue with the methods.

Plus it puts the government in a really difficult situation because if they give into these protesters will be having people causing public nuisance/disruption all over the place to further their cause.

I don't have an issue with the cause I do have an issue with the methods.

Plus it puts the government in a really difficult situation because if they give into these protesters will be having people causing public nuisance/disruption all over the place to further their cause.

I think it put the government of the day in a similar position, don’t you. The suffragettes got women the vote though. And thank goodness for that.

"Why don't they glue themselves to the outside of uninsulated houses?

Win win! "

That would be most houses in the U.K. then.

If people are pissed off having a protester glued to their local motorway junction how pissed off will they be to have a crusty glued to their front door?

That’s definitely an escalation so good idea.

It's more than being pissed off!

A Neighbor had a consultant appointment cancelled because the consultant was held up by these protesters. He had waited 18 months for this! Like I said they need to start targeting the people that can actually make a difference not just commuters amd people doing there best to live their lives who actually end up omitting more pollution because they are sat in traffic!

I support the cause, but not the method.

Installate Britain say that....

Pound for pound, home insulation provides the most cost-effective way of reducing carbon emissions and it would have an immediate impact.

With almost 15% of the UK’s total emissions coming from heating homes.

I don't think the cost of the Government making this happen is anything compared to the cost of them not, where the environment is at stake

Sure, I get that but it’s the incumbent government people need to get angry with (regardless of it being Labour or Conservative) and not the protesters. The protestors are only protesting because the incumbent government aren’t listening or taking rapid enough action to deal with the problem.

I would suggest that your neighbour’s experience was one in a few thousand but who knows the true stats versus the media reporting?

So who do you think they should target that would make a real difference? Genuinely keen to know.

So what else was it that got women the vote?

I expect that “they” expect that taxes will pay for this, and wasn’t it something that the government committed to and then reneged upon?. Like taxes pay for everything else that is beneficial to society: education, national health, decent infrastructure, etc.

When a demonstration results in an ambulance getting stuck in traffic everyone is up in arms about it, damning the protesters and their ‘selfishness’ but ambulances are delayed every day for numerous different reasons that are preventable: poor investment in the health service, too few ambulances, tired and overworked ambulance drivers, poor road infrastructure, badly planned roadworks, too many cars on the road because of expensive or non-existent public transport. If the concern about ambulance delays was genuine you’d expect people to shout just as loudly about these things too, but they never do.

I live just off a major thoroughfare and it’s a vital route to one of London’s major hospitals. It’s always closed due to leaky pipes and sewers. The reasons for its closure is not down to climate change protestors yet it never gets blamed for risking people’s lives or harming the status quo. It’s worst than that it due to little investment in infrastructure investment.

"Numbskulls.

I cant stand protesting at the best of times but the type that interfere with day to day life of others.. pure scum "

By not standing protests you seem to benefit from things.

Examples poll tax as example this was the most devisive policy to benefit the very rich at expense of the poor.

If you have no backbone yourself thats one thing but to criticise others that do shows selfishness of highest level.

Do I agree with say extinction rebellion not really but everyone has the right to protest peacefully.

Do I agree with Insulate group yes I do the government should be if serious about climate change etc.

Do I agree with the way they are doing things no I do not.

However the police bill if gets through will result in even if just one person starts a one person protest can be arrested this should worry everyone.

Instead of the me me me outlook consider the fact that as in your case as example u must have sore arse as by doing nowt about anything you might as well be bent over permanently to let government fuck you when they choose.

LOL - you want to make this even more divisive and start an argument between north and south england? That’s sad. This is about your kids’ future and the world they and your grandchildren will live in, be it north or south east or west. Believe me we all know violent idiots capable of kicking someone’s teeth in but that doesn’t really help with productive discussion.

"One of the leaders of this group gave a radio interview the other day and said that he would not move even if there was an emergency ambulance with a dying person onboard trying to get through. These are not good human beings, no matter what their "message" is.

dont know how true it is but i heard the leader hasnt even insulated his own house, protesting for the sake of it"

It's true. The ambulance guy was on the last few minutes of Sheila Forgarty's (sp?) show before Eddie Mare on LBC radio.Both Sheila and Eddie were in disbelief. Eddie was all for asking more questions. Sheila was too speechless to continue!

The guy whose home was insulated was on GMTV. He stormed off...lol

I read somewhere that if she had gotten to hospital quickly, the damage would have been minimal. Now she is paralysed.

The irony is that if any of them took ill, how would the emergency services be able to get to them?

All that traffic sat with engines running.

All the medical supplies not being transported.

All the fresh food being transported going to waste and ending up being thrown away.

Families sat in cars wasting valuable time instead of being in school and work.

They haven't thought any of their cause through.

They are just anti establishment spoilt brats, out to cause disruption and chaos because they want to make a name for themselves.

Perhaps the authorities should let the public that are being held up on the roads move them, that would give the arseholes the chaos they're trying to create.

It's happening again in Essex today and eyewitness accounts saying that no police had arrived and so drivers were dragging them away. Only a matter of time before someone injures their back or worse.

Surely having it insulated means that the sun won't make it hot.

In real terms it traps the heat in that is generated on hot days. That's why it's usually cooler downstairs at night.
