🚨 BREAKING: SOUTH LONDON SLOW DOWN

⏰ 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.

#FreeLouis #FreeJosh #CivilResistance #A22Network #NoNewOil #EnoughIsEnough

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"

💬 "I started actively supporting Just Stop Oil after we had 40°C 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."

♻️ JUST STOP OIL GIVE MET POLICE THE RUN-AROUND

🦺 Yesterday, 13 #JustStopOil supporters were accompanied by at least 17 @metpoliceuk officers on a slow stroll through London. 30 strong, the odd pairing marched along the Strand to demand an end to all new oil and gas in the UK.

🚓 The Met even turned up with five patrol vans and proceeded to slowly drive the convoy behind the Just Stop Oil supporters along the entire route of the march, causing traffic delays.

🍻 A group of Just Stop Oil supporters then arrived at a Leicester Sq Spoons to celebrate a birthday — the officers posted up on the opposite side of the road to keep watch, reportedly ignoring calls to join in for a “cheeky one on the clock” from the Just Stop Oil supporters.

🔒 JUST STOP OIL SUPPORTER SENTENCED TO 6 MONTHS IN PRISON

🦺 Jan Goodey, a 57-year-old #JustStopOil supporter from Brighton, was today sentenced to 6 months in prison for taking part in an action on the #M25 in November to demand an end to new oil and gas in the UK.

#FreeJan

🛣️ Jan was arrested after climbing a gantry at Junction 16 on November 7th — he appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today and was found guilty of causing a public nuisance. This was the first trial under this new statutory offence enacted under the PCSC Act 2022.

⚖️ The magistrate imposed a sentence of 9 months, which was reduced to 6 months as a result of a guilty plea. The magistrate spoke of wanting to use his sentencing as a “deterrent” against further disruption of ordinary people going about their “lawful business”

🚨 BREAKING: SOME PEOPLE HAVE A PINT

🍺 Four #JustStopOil supporters stopped off for a drink at a pub today after around 80 police officers and 6 police vans followed them on a walk around London

#FreeLouis #FreeJosh #CivilResistance #A22Network #NoNewOil #EnoughIsEnough #COP27

💬 from a pub, Matt said: "The protest is over and the police are following us, it’s disproportionate and unnecessary.

"They followed us from one pub to another, what’s the point? They look exceptionally silly."

#ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #CostOfLivingCrisis #UK #M25

Shaun, 25, said: "We've just come to the pub for someone’s birthday and they’ve got two officers standing directly in front of the pub.

'There were vans with their lights flashing, parked in a bus lane, with about ten or so officers watching us.

'Literally four of us at a pub"

BREAKING: #Barclays faces biggest ever day of climate protests

👉 Over 100 #Barclays branches across the UK targetted

👉 Windows cracked & covered in posters, fake oil & paint

👉 Actions & outreach continuing throughout the day

👉 Press release: extinctionrebellion.uk/2022/11/14/thi…

#Barclays is the UK’s and Europe’s largest financier of fossil fuels. Since 2021, when the International Energy Agency concluded there could be #NoNewOil, gas or coal development if the world was to reach net zero by 2050, Barclays has invested $19.583B in fossil fuels.

Extinction Rebellion, along with other groups, are calling for Barclays to end all investment in fossil fuel expansion. In March 2020 #Greenpeace activists shut down nearly 100 Barclays branches in protest against #Barclays support for fossil fuels.

Isabel Rock, 41, has a message for her nephew.

“I’m doing this for my baby nephew and his unborn sister. I want them to have a chance at a future. The government is responsible for criminal inaction on the climate crisis. They should be in prison."

1. 1.5C is not a point of data but a religious artifact. It is imbued with the sacred taboo of the global liberal class: the all pervasive dogma of progress, the unspeakable terror of regression and fall (a proxy for death). It can never be allowed to be passed.

2. But it will. And when it does a whole world of meaning will collapse and the psychological and spiritual suffering of this class will become unbearable for them. History will have returned.

theguardian.com/environment/20…

1. "Regions facing the highest ecological threats are on average the least concerned about climate change, with only 27.4% of those in the Middle East and north Africa and 39.1% of those in south Asia concerned about the risks."

theguardian.com/environment/20…

2. More devastating evidence that as things get worse commitment to change will lessen. More devastating evidence that 30 yrs of giving information is a failure. More devastating evidence that #climate movements have ignored some of the basic rules of thumb of social research...

3. 1. It is not the oppressed that rise up (they are too humiliated) but those that see the oppression.
2. As things get worse people focus more on the immediate cause and less on the big picture.

🛢 The 100 proposed oil and gas licences will destroy all of our culture, along with human civilisation as we know it.

💀 Why are we protecting these paintings when we are not protecting the millions of lives that will be lost due to climate and societal collapse?

🎉 SURPRISE, WE’RE AT IT AGAIN THIS MORNING

🏛 Yesterday, Susan Hall, chairman of the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee told the Telegraph:

“The silent majority are sick to the back teeth of having their lives disrupted by the gridlock that these demonstrations cause.

“It makes no sense to me at all that the police are not able to remove these people.”

💀 Well, Susan, ordinary people are sick to the back teeth of having to accept that their children won’t have liveable future.

#CivilResistance

🕊 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?
