The problem with giving them long prison sentences rather than years of say litter picking, is that it makes them martyrs or political prisoners.Originally posted by Paddy View PostHere is a revised version with some improvements:
Blocking motorways is not an effective or peaceful form of protesting. It infringes on the fundamental right of others to move freely, hinders the passage of emergency vehicles, including those delivering vital supplies to hospitals, such as blood and medical treatments for critically ill patients. Moreover, it creates unnecessary pollution and congestion, ultimately defeating the intended purpose of the protest. A more constructive approach to activism would prioritize respecting the rights of others while still conveying a message.
It also opens more politically active well-educated middle class people's eyes up to how tulip the prison system is and who tends to end up there. So if they decide to step away from climate activism they will become annoying prison reformers instead.
(Just thought litter picking is very green.)

I didn't realise there was a problem until 7.45am after I had popped in to a local supermarket and turned on the radio.Originally posted by NotAllThereWas at our local supermarket, stocking up on steak and beer. The people before me paid with credit cards and it took a while to clear. They queried with the poor lass at checkout if this was due to the IT problems worldwide.
She looked very bewildered.
Someone is having fun updating their wiki page.

Can I post this thread
Let's see.
So basically I can post threads outside office hours.
Two things happened today - Just stop oil peaceful protesters where given 5 year prison sentences. However our jails are full so the max they will spend is 40%
