The Police asked for and deserved what they got.

End of.
They went in heavy handed to a bunch of people singing, unprovoked, for no reason.

They swung fists and batons against unarmed, settled, and mostly sedentary people.

The response they received was restrained, and they are lucky they didn't come out worse for it.
Once again, the @metpoliceuk have shown themselves to be 1st class dickheads.
Unfit for purpose. Lacking consent. Unable to make sound judgements.

I've said it before...

There is no precedent for the deliberate immiseration of a population, such as that which is implied by #NetZero, without tanks and guns on streets, pointed at citizens.

Talk of using military 'intelligence' & force is about controlling domestic politics.
That is to say that...

1. The use of the British armed forces to 'protect' (i.e. confiscate) other sovereign territories is implausible.

2. #NetZero is going to create massive social and political chaos.

3. The UK's police and armed forces will be very busy right here at home.
That sounds over the top?

Consider that the official estimates of #NetZero are costed at around £20K per household.

We know that officials are not very good at estimating the cost of Grand Projets. Consider HS2, which has been inflating.

Green serfdom -- it's a thing. We weren't joking.

Not looking good for Jeremy Leggett @solarcentury

Who knew green forced labour was a thing, right?

Climate policy was going to bring about world peace, abolish inequality and protect us from tyranny, right?

All the nice people like green stuff, right?

Solar power is nicer to people than oil companies, right?

WRONG!
Now you can ask your neighbours,

"Were those solar panels on your roof built by slaves?"

Because they probably were.

Still smug?

As I was saying yesterday...

The institutions of the UK are completely and totally degenerate. They are f***ing idiots.

Do you know who those green spies will be working for?

The CCP.

The CCP has outclassed and outmanoeuvred them at every turn.

Green claims need unpacking and interrogating.

No statistics or ordinary metric of 'disaster', 'crisis', 'emergency' or even 'risk' support the claims that they exist. In many cases, they demonstrate the opposite.

Climate ideologues like Dessler play with words and numbers.
At least he admits it, eventually. Words mean whatever he wants them to mean.

I think 'disaster', 'crisis', 'emergency' and risk have very real meanings, which should not be toyed with by green propagandists. Desller is okay with misleading the public.

Unpack the framing, too... It is "anyone who says climate change is not a disaster or an emergency is expressing their values". But he does not take issue with anyone declaring a disaster or emergency.

It doesn't work both ways, in green world.

This is "the personal is political", rescued from the 1970s.

I.e., let virtue signalling obscure awareness of your material interests, to let bogus grievance mongers and race-baiters award themselves endless privileges at your expense.

She & Femi are deeply ignorant.
You might be a socialist black man, or a capitalist Asian woman. But Femi and this TikToker want to claim that the black man and Asian woman should not discuss their political ideas, only the colour of their skin.
In order to do this, they have invented the idea of political parties 'openly' {sic} representing racism/homophobia/misogyny.

This reduces politics to a battle between identities, to displace democratic contest between ideas about how society & the economy should be managed.

Sky News and the protesters are different wings of the same organisation.

Don't forget it.
Within months of having been formed, XR were invited to give evidence to Parliamentary committees, and had an hour long meeting with @michaelgove, in which he agreed with nearly everything their said.
Here's XR founder Gail Bradbrook speaking to the @beisgovuk committee.
