Eco zealots, what's the solution?

[DBSV8]

More Eco muppets out over the weekend disrupting london wasting milk in London, why are these muppets not being arrested for criminal damage , would have thought to clean the carpets in Selfridges plus loss of trade would run into thousands ?

Seems to be the sign of the times , 20 year old fkwits demonstrating on a daily basis with no coherent plan for what they are campaigning about

about time a tougher line was drawn or stop giving media coverage to these idiots .... Like to see these idiots try letting down tyres on Moss side or the Ford estate

Liz will sort them out.

Nothing is going to happen. These are government approved messages. They are given plenty of time for their performances, the opportunity to give statements as they are gently and carefully removed by police, and the media give them prime slots.

[Not-The-Messiah]

Just make them live the life they want everyone else to live to save the planet. Unless they can walk/ride to their protest after munching on veg.

These people dont have a clue what it would mean to achieve the goals they want.

Whilst I am not on side with what they are doing, at least they are backing up their ideologies with action, which is more than most of the apoplectic critics have or will ever do. And we are talking about the issues. Job done.

how is pouring milk in Selfridges helping the cause?

getting a petition together or going on a rally, is one thing causing criminal damage is quite another, i don't see the authorities' acting expediently.,

Who are the "apoplectic critics" & how do you know what they have or haven't done?

Because you are talking / getting angry about it and there is this thread for other people to talk / get angry about it now on PH and no doubt in many other places too.

It’s called publicity.

Creating anger against the campaigners is not helping their cause.

Go round their mums and splashh milk on her carpet?

[2 GKC]

They should at least be made to clean up their mess

I've now idea who came up with the phrase "all publicity is good publicity", because it's blatantly not true. I've no idea how making some minimum wage cleaner mop up the milk they've spilled in Harrods will convert anyone to their cause.

My idea for a punishment is put them all on a lifetime No Fly list. Of course that will mean they won't be able to undertake their skiing holidays or spiritual gap year journey to Thailand (which is not being hypocritical because they are raising awareness), but oh well.

I think a little reality check about Police and justice resources is needed isn't it?

If you want the Police to arrest and the CPS to charge and the courts to deal with all of these people something else somewhere has to give.

What do you want it to be?

Those tend to be outcomes during or at the end of the things I mentioned so you still need all that initial involvement.

If they are in the process of committing a crime I would like them thwacked with a truncheon and thrown in a van before they can give their little pre-prepared speeches to camera.

Thanks muchly.

That's a massive surprise.

It probably isn't realistic for pouring milk on a shops carpet is it?

[Pastor Of Muppets]

None of them seem to be aware of the ultimate way of getting their agenda across to the masses... Posting on NP&E all day every day.

That worked so well in the past and certainly wouldn't escalate the situation into violent riots.

It isn't realistic for these people and these "causes". I'm quite sure I would be thrown in a cell if I was out damaging property in front of the police.
