๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: SOUTH LONDON SLOW DOWN

โฐ At 8am, 15 Just Stop Oil supporters walked onto the road at Bricklayers Arms roundabout in South London demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licences.

Sam Griffiths, 47, a Dad and designer from London said:

"I feel sick seeing how little is happening to address climate breakdown, the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. And our Government is actively making things worse. Granting over 100 new oil licences is indefensible"
๐Ÿ’ฌ "I started actively supporting Just Stop Oil after we had 40ยฐC in the UK for the first time in recorded history. It scared the shit out of me. I looked at my boy and realised I couldn't just continue to do nothing."

๐Ÿ•Š Democracy is a precious & essential part of our society. Our leadership must always be accountable to the people, & if they are not, we risk oppression. We are, without a doubt, lucky to live in a liberal representational democracy, & when the time comes to vote, we should.
So why then, are people acting politically, with Civil Resistance, outside of this mechanism?

This is a must watch video of Chairman Fred Hampton. A fave. Incredibly important critical analysis of strategy and tactic.
We had intense dialogue about this during the uprising where these tensions were heightened. This is a very divisive issue and is used expertly by COINTELPRO to disrupt processes and orgs.
But this is also a real political tension where ideologies can be used to justify conflict in defense and in opposition to. We saw this appear acutely this summer.
