You all seem to accept that these idiot are actually expecting to achieve anything. Actually they are having too much fun parading their self-proclaimed wisdom on what the future holds, so the disruption they cause to others and their own hypocrisy over their personal preferences are not even on their radar. It's just the latest fashionable iteration of the Tooting Popular Front (says he, showing his age...).

Also remember they always complaining that they are arrested for protesting when in fact they are arrested for breaking various laws around violent disorder and the like.

Complete morons. They long ago sacrificed any expectation of sympathy for their cause.

Inneresting thread here explaining the strategy

Where does vegan leather come from?

It varies. Vegetarian Shoes (based in Brighton) have some info about this on their website:
FAQs (vegetarian-shoes.co.uk)
Some of their material uses plant fibres. I've got trainers made from pineapple (!), although they don't really resemble leather.

Where does vegan leather come from? Kill a cow, or kill the planet.

That was one of the points I've already made which d000hg has answered.

These ladies like some of their comrades ignore the fact that oil and oil byproducts are a major part of every day life. So when they turn up to protest they really need to be careful of what they are wearing e.g. tights, leggings and their hair as well as where they are protesting.

amplifying your point not stealing! chill

well the two ladies seem to have strongly dyed /bleached hair - one of the major ingredients in hair dye is paraffin or similar oils ammonia or similar come from oil driven processes.

To be fair to swampy he was always dressed in sack cloth and never washed so he was at least living the dream.

You can make your own dyes and paints from plants you harvest yourself. One might learn which by attending a famous flower show.

Also even if the products are water-based how to they get to the shops? Not by bike.

And gave all sea creatures something that is inedible to ingest!

Swings and roundabouts. The point is that in and of itself oil is not a bad thing. Environmentally it's generally a good thing outside of it being used for energy. Which is why we need to use nuclear power whose enivomental damaging footprint is SO much smaller than coal, oil or gas.

The invention of plastic and oil was largely responsible for preventing the extinction of turtles (tortoiseshell) and whales.

Aren't hair dye and paint mostly water-based these days? I'm sure the hippies use natural plant extracts

What like palm oil - which is sooooo environmentally friendly...

Also even if the products are water-based how to they get to the shops? Not by bike.

[d000hg]

But tights, leggings, hair dye and paint tend to made from oil.
