Probably not him then, but he was having an argument with a vague authority figure which is very much in his wheelhouse
That NQ would actually leave his house unless absolutely necessary, let alone talk to anyone in real life seems fanciful
Anyway I won’t mention him again, if I mention him three times he will appear like the Kandyman
Say what you like about JSO, and yes the stonehenge thing was monumentally dumb, but their hearts are in the right place whereas people who sneer at them are doing nothing more than laughing at their own self-imposed destruction
Nah, they can fuck off.
I don’t think anyone’s laughing at these people, JSO is a rent a protest mob and share the same address as a Free Palestine campaign group, which gives me the distinct impression of being about protest rather than about a cause
At least with Insulate Britain I actually agreed with their aims, this lot? Refusal to sign new oil and gas deals would throw a lot of people in this country into fuel poverty. Replacing the burning of hydrocarbons is something that needs to be done in a piecemeal way, because it won’t be these largely upper middle class types that suffer if they were to get their own way.
The additional problem is it turns climate change into a political football when it shouldn’t be
Whoever's at the centre of JSO, i think most of its activists are earnest middle-class kids who realise how big the climate threat is, and the people who turned it onto a political football are the right, because collective public global action to combat CC, along with the necessary changes in lifestyle and consumer behaviour, goes fundamentally against their free market economics and so-called libertarianism, plus some on the left don't like it either because they're still stuck in the smiling-workers-marching-in-unison-to-the-publicly-owned-smoke-belching-factory fantasy
