Extinction Rebellion versus brexit

[TheSage]

I'm sorry but that was an appalling way to treat a defenceless woman in a climate change sash and a red dress.

It was a ridiculously stupid thing to do and that's why he's apologised. If it had been my wife or daughter I would not have been a happy man.

He lost it. You can see the anger on his face and the amazement in the room.

Totally out of proportion and totally unacceptable. He's a very lucky man that she isn't pressing charges or he would lose his job.

Women should not be treated like that. Not in my world anyway.

No one likes to see a female handled in such a way by a male but in this day and age who knows what the female was carrying or what she was planning to do, if he had pushed her to the ground or used excessive force then OK suspend and/or charge him but there didn't appear much in his actions to me.

 

Extinction Rebellion people will stop at nothing to interrupt and disrupt free speech and debate and people are becoming fed up of it. When young children are being used to front Climate Change activism and when these idiots threaten to disrupt Heathrow airport by flying drones putting lives in danger it's time to check their motives.

 

Many of these people are not interested in climate change but are anarchists who jump on what they perceive as the cause of the day. Extiction and Rebellion plus the government will do a 10x better job than Brexit could ever do at turning the UK into an economic disaster zone.

How are they disrupting free speech?

What do you think they were doing at the black tie dinner last night, perusing the menu, sampling the hors d'oeuvres, they were there to interrupt/stop a speech by Hammond and others.

They were protesting about climate breakdown ...

No way to treat a woman?..... are women a special class or equal?

She was wearing a sash and a dress?..... good tip for a terrorist, wear a sash and a dress, no one will bother you..... until after you have commited your crime.

It surprises me that after all the death threats MPs reportedly receive there was little or no security.

 

As the police often say...... in the current climate.... severe....!

Who the hell knew what she intended?

 

If she had walked into my home I wouldn't care what she was wearing....

 

In my opinion women and men are equal.... they should not be treated differently... would the outcry be different if it had been a man?..... or a man in a dress with a sash?

Funny how when an angry protester kicked off at Esther Mcveys launch nobody forced him out. But this peaceful protester was forced out straight away. You can tell Mark Field has done that before....

He should have been...... someone's failure to act doesn't make it right.

 

If a number of people decided to protest before a vale match and stopped people with tickets entering (you) would you just walk away?

People have a right to protest....... other people have the right not to be impeded.... are the rights of the protesters more important than other people's rights?

People have the right of free speech (so I'm told, although sometimes I wonder) does a protesters right of free speech trump other people right of free speech?

The facts are fairly simple.....

 

A person walked into a room, where they had no business to be, there were so called VIPs in the room, no one knew the intentions of the trespasser, the person was removed.

Was that unreasonable given the information available at the time?

Was there unreasonable force used given the information available at the time?

 

I would suggest the answer to both questions is no...... whatever information gained after the fact is irrelevant

Someone's playing the victim card again to justify their right to attend.

Not if we can find an alternative solution to Fossil Powers

 

Is that Austin Powers' brother? Don't think he's on the Tory Party ballot.

I'm sure your ancestors said that about the suffragettes.

I'm amazed that we are even debating this.

 

She was assaulted. End of. Ask any lawyer or solicitor or read the law of the land and learn something.

 

He used unnecessary force and it was assault. There is no debate to be had.

I can't read this tripe and the people's vote ******** any more. I know I'll be tempted to read what the lunatic left supporters are posting so I'm taking that temptation out of reach. I'm outta here.
