If you look around the world, the UK is lightyears ahead of many many nations and this should be recognized. We are on the right path. sure, apply political pressure to keep up the moment but painting a sports venue orange will only result in ridicule and laughter.

I’m sure there are thousands who support their campaigns and methods. Meanwhile the government grant hundreds of new oil and gas licenses. I know who’s doing the right thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in favour of the total banning of oil and oil products, or are you in favour of continuing its use where necessary but importing oil rather than producing it domestically?

I don’t think even the JSO protesters want a total ban (obviously there are outliers). I just think granting new licenses will not do anything to help rid us of our dependence on fossil fuels. There are far more informed and eloquent individuals in the science and technology thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst some people are throwing orange paint around, people in Ukraine are having their lives destroyed by a war machine we have helped to feed by buying their oil and Europe their gas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, why protest? it would be very short sighted of them to not see the progress the UK is making. We are literally miles ahead of so many other nations in that respect. the UK is literally 3rd on the list of nations leading the way in renewable energy. https://www.climatecouncil.org.au/11-countries-leading-the-charge-on-renewable-energy/ Edited 7 December 2023 by MPH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC News - UK paid Rwanda an extra £100m for asylum deal https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67656220 Make that a total of £240 million. Total disgrace how they throw money around and then can't pump money into services that desperately need it here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as we’ll be getting Rwandan refugees in return. They could’ve just spent that money to clear the backlog or to go harder on people smugglers, but no, they’ve put all of their eggs in this absolutely pointless basket.
