"I'm here because
I have to be here,
I've got no choice.
I've got three
lovely children
And what future are
they going to have..
I really fear for their lives."

"Let's take a pick of the
unfolding series of
crises that we face this week
in Pakistan.
A third of the
country is underwater.
Those people who are least
responsible are up to their
necks in water.
It's criminal it's genocidal
what's happening it's fucking
outrageous."

"The UK government is
announcing over a hundred billion
pounds of borrowing to support
the energy cap.
If we'd insulated our homes
many years ago, if we'd pivoted
to renewables, we could have done
that for a fraction of the price"

-Steven Gingell, 56
