A few years ago there were a load of protesters camped out in a park in the city. Can't remember the cause, but something similar. I went over and had a cup of tea with them and a chat about their cause. They were all polite and well informed people. The hippy tag is lazy and misinformed.

British transport is absolutely rubbish everyday, does anybody think a bit of a delay on London Transport because of a protest, is anything out of the ordinary in London.
I bet the fellas that want to beat up the Protesters don`t say a dicky bird when there are endless delays on the transport every day of the year.

The voice of reason. To many angry people these days, a bit of disruption, and they want to trash anybody that gets in their way. Spoilt brats comes to mind.

They blocked roads last week. I cycled right into the tree hugging, smelly feckers. What is more annoying was that they all drove to holloway road in their cars to protest about people driving in London. Absolute morons.
The police had a go at me and said they were allowed to do that as it was a peaceful protest. I asked the police if I stood in the road blocking traffic what would happen and their response was that I would get arrested. Where is the logic.
I saw the protester get dragged off the roof of the tube this morning and got a kicking. I think we should all rise up against these morons and give them all a good kicking.
They are targeting people's living and also stopping emergency vehicles. Holloway road is the main road leading to one of london's largest hospitals. The protesters said that they would let the emergency vehicles through,. What thy don't realise is that the road block goes back miles and the emergency vehicles are trapped before they get to the protest itself. They should be charged with attempted murder for this sort of thing,
God help any protester who gets in my way today. I will take physical action on their dirty, smelly, magic mushroomed faces.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard man Tbone wants to beat up anybody he does not agree with. Honestly this country has gone to pot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you agree with them blocking emergency vehicles?
Do you agree with them driving to a protest to protest about people driving?
Do you agree with them blocking cyclists who are not polluting the air?
Do you agree with them putting people’s livelihoods at risk?
No well shut the feck up you snowflake

I have a good future in store as long as these smelly feckers don't impact it and if they do they will get dealt with.
Stop taking those magic mushrooms they are fecking with your head just like they are with all the snowflakes trying to protest when they should be working and not scrounging off the government for handouts. Lazy, smelly caaants the lot of them.

Just heard that an independent journalist who was asked to livestream the protest, was punched to the floor, and then repeatedly kicked. What absolute cowards.
This was not the action of a protestor, but the action of the thugs on the platform. Hopefully they find the perpetrators and prosecute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you for real?
You’ve been asked multiple times on this article what you think of the extinction rebellion guy kicking people on the top of the tube and ignored it, but you’re happy to call others ‘thugs on a platform’.
I’m all for fighting climate change and peaceful protests, but they’re not doing it the right way and you are picking and choosing to fit your own agenda.

I mean how can you take any of them seriously ? When you got some baggy trousered hippy making zombie noises and falling to the floor shaking like they are having an epileptic fitit’s just not normal
Is it ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can argue the merits of the protests all you like but to say that this is just 'hippies' is incredibly naive.
Sure there are always people who love anarchy and are along for the ride but this protest for the most part is made up of normal people - doctors, teachers. kids, nurses, olds, parents etc. They have been moved to join because of the threat to the planet and the inaction of the Government, most of them are terrified to be arrested but go anyway.
To dismiss these people along with the rest is just ignorant - educate yourself ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How about you educate yourself. They are causing a huge uproar and causing issues to commuters journeys. They are causing obstructions to our emergency Services. Why the hell would I want to educate myself into supporting these clowns ? I have my own views and agree with protecting the planet, but I would never condone disrupting London to get my point across, it’s ridiculous just like the zombie like hippies gluing themselves to the floor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why the hell would I want to educate myself " - seems about right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh bore off. Instead of being so ignorant, how about you actually try and understand the context of the argument. Oh and yes, the vast majority of them are tree hugging hippies. You only need a pair of eyes to see that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I (unlike you it seems) have looked at both sides and whilst I do condemn the targeting of public transport, I think a non violent two week protest (that was announced months ago) should be lauded. Does some of it make me uncomfortable? Of course it does - but that's the point! What good would a polite protest that bothered nobody achieve? Nobody would care of listen because it wouldn't get covered in the news.
I just find the anger and whataboutery at people trying to make a huge change so frustrating, where's your outrage about the tens of thousands of premature deaths linked to the UKs dirty (and illegal) air pollution? Where's your anger at fossil fuel companies for increasing their activities? Where's your anger at the Government shirking its responsibility?

The DUP have already rejected it, Labour won’t vote for it, the SNP & Lib Dem’s won’t vote for it.
Think it will be another extension, general election and second referendum.

Sure there are always people who love anarchy and are along for the ride but this protest for the most part is made up of normal people - doctors, teachers. kids, nurses, olds, parents etc. They have been moved to join because of the threat to the planet and the inaction of the Government, most of them are terrified to be arrested but go anyway.
To dismiss these people along with the rest is just ignorant - educate yourself ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How about you educate yourself. They are causing a huge uproar and causing issues to commuters journeys. They are causing obstructions to our emergency Services. Why the hell would I want to educate myself into supporting these clowns ? I have my own views and agree with protecting the planet, but I would never condone disrupting London to get my point across, it’s ridiculous just like the zombie like hippies gluing themselves to the floor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why the hell would I want to educate myself " - seems about right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh bore off. Instead of being so ignorant, how about you actually try and understand the context of the argument. Oh and yes, the vast majority of them are tree hugging hippies. You only need a pair of eyes to see that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I (unlike you it seems) have looked at both sides and whilst I do condemn the targeting of public transport, I think a non violent two week protest (that was announced months ago) should be lauded. Does some of it make me uncomfortable? Of course it does - but that's the point! What good would a polite protest that bothered nobody achieve? Nobody would care of listen because it wouldn't get covered in the news.
I just find the anger and whataboutery at people trying to make a huge change so frustrating, where's your outrage about the tens of thousands of premature deaths linked to the UKs dirty (and illegal) air pollution? Where's your anger at fossil fuel companies for increasing their activities? Where's your anger at the Government shirking its responsibility?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mate most of the people on these boards are Tories.
Empathy or valuing the lives of others means nothing to them. Especially people who don’t look like them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Working Class Tories mate, I bet their Great Grandads are turning in their graves. All their sacrifices, just to produce a country of selfish must haves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely.
Anyone with less than a million quid in the bank who votes Tory is a complete mug.

Sizz, Brexit happening wether you like it or not mate. You are just going to have to deal with it Son
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it happens it happens, but we ain’t there yet.
Boris the clown has just regurgitated Theresa May’s deal, basically putting lipstick on a pig/polishing a tuurd.
The DUP have already rejected it, Labour won’t vote for it, the SNP & Lib Dem’s won’t vote for it.
Think it will be another extension, general election and second referendum.
What a time to be alive!!! And all this to get rid of a few Polish builders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't look to the DUP to be good guys mate, they're the most backward political party in the UK!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, they’re vile.
However, this helps remainers, not the government.
So that was a billion quid well spent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can bet your life, Johnson will be trying to bribe the DUP again to get his deal done. It is scandalous that so much of the taxpayers money should be used just to try to keep the Tories in power. Bribery and corruption at its worse. Yet everybody seems OK with it. A few protesters disrupting their lives for half hour or so, and all hell breaks lose.

Think we all agree jumping on the tube is out of line, but the majority of these people mean well and are trying to highlight an important issue.
A few years ago there were a load of protesters camped out in a park in the city. Can't remember the cause, but something similar. I went over and had a cup of tea with them and a chat about their cause. They were all polite and well informed people. The hippy tag is lazy and misinformed.

British transport is absolutely rubbish everyday, does anybody think a bit of a delay on London Transport because of a protest, is anything out of the ordinary in London.
I bet the fellas that want to beat up the Protesters don`t say a dicky bird when there are endless delays on the transport every day of the year.

They blocked roads last week. I cycled right into the tree hugging, smelly feckers. What is more annoying was that they all drove to holloway road in their cars to protest about people driving in London. Absolute morons.
The police had a go at me and said they were allowed to do that as it was a peaceful protest. I asked the police if I stood in the road blocking traffic what would happen and their response was that I would get arrested. Where is the logic.
I saw the protester get dragged off the roof of the tube this morning and got a kicking. I think we should all rise up against these morons and give them all a good kicking.
They are targeting people's living and also stopping emergency vehicles. Holloway road is the main road leading to one of london's largest hospitals. The protesters said that they would let the emergency vehicles through,. What thy don't realise is that the road block goes back miles and the emergency vehicles are trapped before they get to the protest itself. They should be charged with attempted murder for this sort of thing,
God help any protester who gets in my way today. I will take physical action on their dirty, smelly, magic mushroomed faces.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard man Tbone wants to beat up anybody he does not agree with. Honestly this country has gone to pot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you agree with them blocking emergency vehicles?
Do you agree with them driving to a protest to protest about people driving?
Do you agree with them blocking cyclists who are not polluting the air?
Do you agree with them putting people’s livelihoods at risk?

I have a good future in store as long as these smelly feckers don't impact it and if they do they will get dealt with.
Stop taking those magic mushrooms they are fecking with your head just like they are with all the snowflakes trying to protest when they should be working and not scrounging off the government for handouts. Lazy, smelly caaants the lot of them.

Just heard that an independent journalist who was asked to livestream the protest, was punched to the floor, and then repeatedly kicked. What absolute cowards.
This was not the action of a protestor, but the action of the thugs on the platform. Hopefully they find the perpetrators and prosecute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you for real?
You’ve been asked multiple times on this article what you think of the extinction rebellion guy kicking people on the top of the tube and ignored it, but you’re happy to call others ‘thugs on a platform’.
I’m all for fighting climate change and peaceful protests, but they’re not doing it the right way and you are picking and choosing to fit your own agenda.

What a time to be alive!!! And all this to get rid of a few Polish builders.

Don't look to the DUP to be good guys mate, they're the most backward political party in the UK!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, they’re vile.
However, this helps remainers, not the government.
So that was a billion quid well spent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why are so many people so horrified that we dared spend money on infrastructure in Northern Ireland?
It's not like the DUP took a bribe which is often how it's portrayed.

I mean how can you take any of them seriously ? When you got some baggy trousered hippy making zombie noises and falling to the floor shaking like they are having an epileptic fitit’s just not normal
Is it ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can argue the merits of the protests all you like but to say that this is just 'hippies' is incredibly naive.
Sure there are always people who love anarchy and are along for the ride but this protest for the most part is made up of normal people - doctors, teachers. kids, nurses, olds, parents etc. They have been moved to join because of the threat to the planet and the inaction of the Government, most of them are terrified to be arrested but go anyway.
To dismiss these people along with the rest is just ignorant - educate yourself ffs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How about you educate yourself. They are causing a huge uproar and causing issues to commuters journeys. They are causing obstructions to our emergency Services. Why the hell would I want to educate myself into supporting these clowns ? I have my own views and agree with protecting the planet, but I would never condone disrupting London to get my point across, it’s ridiculous just like the zombie like hippies gluing themselves to the floor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why the hell would I want to educate myself " - seems about right.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh bore off. Instead of being so ignorant, how about you actually try and understand the context of the argument. Oh and yes, the vast majority of them are tree hugging hippies. You only need a pair of eyes to see that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I (unlike you it seems) have looked at both sides and whilst I do condemn the targeting of public transport, I think a non violent two week protest (that was announced months ago) should be lauded. Does some of it make me uncomfortable? Of course it does - but that's the point! What good would a polite protest that bothered nobody achieve? Nobody would care of listen because it wouldn't get covered in the news.
I just find the anger and whataboutery at people trying to make a huge change so frustrating, where's your outrage about the tens of thousands of premature deaths linked to the UKs dirty (and illegal) air pollution? Where's your anger at fossil fuel companies for increasing their activities? Where's your anger at the Government shirking its responsibility?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mate most of the people on these boards are Tories.
Empathy or valuing the lives of others means nothing to them. Especially people who don’t look like them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Working Class Tories mate, I bet their Great Grandads are turning in their graves. All their sacrifices, just to produce a country of selfish must haves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely.
Anyone with less than a million quid in the bank who votes Tory is a complete mug.

Sizz, Brexit happening wether you like it or not mate. You are just going to have to deal with it Son
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If it happens it happens, but we ain’t there yet.
Boris the clown has just regurgitated Theresa May’s deal, basically putting lipstick on a pig/polishing a tuurd.
The DUP have already rejected it, Labour won’t vote for it, the SNP & Lib Dem’s won’t vote for it.
Think it will be another extension, general election and second referendum.
What a time to be alive!!! And all this to get rid of a few Polish builders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't look to the DUP to be good guys mate, they're the most backward political party in the UK!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know, they’re vile.
However, this helps remainers, not the government.
So that was a billion quid well spent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can bet your life, Johnson will be trying to bribe the DUP again to get his deal done. It is scandalous that so much of the taxpayers money should be used just to try to keep the Tories in power. Bribery and corruption at its worse. Yet everybody seems OK with it. A few protesters disrupting their lives for half hour or so, and all hell breaks lose.
