Rincewind Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 If it's not affecting me why should I protest against iy Well said Mac I totally agree Dunno if "Mac" indicates that you have Celtic heritage but I'm sure there is more rebelliousness running through the Celtic peoples than other Brits If its not happening to me why should I protest against it? Not me but a changing Britain. You may be right about the Scottish. A top campaigner I know for a cause he is passionate about has the surname of McClean. {)
Webbo Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 If it's not affecting me why should I protest against iy If its not happening to me why should I protest against it? I'm not protesting against it because I'm in favour of it.
Guest MattP Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 Half of this lot protesting just seem to do it out if habit. Sure I recognise a couple from the dale farm scenes.
MooseBreath Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 I love the way they've all driven to protest at an oil well. They really are flawless in their thinking. Never any inconsistencies at all.
MooseBreath Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 Look at the state of them. Don't do themselves any favours turning up looking like that. What a mess. Looks like the local homeless group having a day out on meth.
Guest MattP Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 Thsts half the problem isn't it? Even if I passionately disagreed with fracking I wouldn't be seen dead next to that lot.
purpleronnie Posted 19 August 2013 Posted 19 August 2013 Thsts half the problem isn't it? Even if I passionately disagreed with fracking I wouldn't be seen dead next to that lot. I was going to say that too, sounds a little patronising...but so be it. I couldn't lie down next to them, my pressed trousers might get mucky....some causes just aren't worth it.

cambridgefox Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Many years ago I was a bank manager in the centre of Cambridge.We had a lovely listed building with huge pillars in the banking hall. One day we had some wookies come in protesting about something irrelevant and chained themselves to the posts about 10 on a Saturday morning.Told them they could stay there for weeks but I was locking the branch at 1.Nearly every customer walked by as if they couldn't give a shit.1 o clock came and I told them we were going and locking the door and when the alarms go off which are very loud we will seenow long they last.They unchained themselves and walked out.job done.
Finnegan Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 Protesters should definitely make sure they show up in pressed and ironed Armani suits. They should get Ronnie to do their styling. They'll never be taken seriously if they don't look smart. Sod whether or not they have a valid argument.

Finnegan Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 They're lying outdoors in mud. Or up trees. Or in fields. What are people expecting? It always baffles me when people are bothered by what environmentalists look like. Or any protestors, really. Even the EDL. What matters is whether you agree with what they're saying or doing not whether they look like a bunch of nobs.

It always baffles me when people are bothered by what environmentalists look like. It doesn't mean you can't have a wash though before does it? It's offensive and it's bad enough they are costing the taxpayer a fortune by protesting against something the vast majority agree with, let alone turning up looking like they do. I swear they do it deliberately.
ADK Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 They look alright to me. Waterproof leggings and jackets for the most part, what would you wear to an outdoor protest?
Guest MattP Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 How do you know what they all smell like? You don't need a weatherman to tell you when it's raining. I've smelt enough of these sorts in the past, had the misfortune to be stuck in the middle of 50 of them on the tube once. Nightmare, they almost seemed proud of it as well. They look alright to me. Waterproof leggings and jackets for the most part, what would you wear to an outdoor protest? Not this.
Finnegan Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 They look alright to me. Waterproof leggings and jackets for the most part, what would you wear to an outdoor protest? This, seriously. Most of them just look like hikers. Of course there'll be a fair few examples of the most extremely dressed weirdos but they're not really the majority.
Finnegan Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 For the record, I find a lot of protesters to be pretentious, out of touch attention seekers and I'm not really against fracking. I just thought some of the comments were a bit silly.
Guest MattP Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 This, seriously. Most of them just look like hikers. Of course there'll be a fair few examples of the most extremely dressed weirdos but they're not really the majority. From the pictures I'm watching they don't just look like a majority but a vast one at that.
MooseBreath Posted 20 August 2013 Posted 20 August 2013 I can't see one normal looking person in that last round of pictures. They all look inbred to some degree and many appear to be suffering from mental illness. Like it or not your appearance says a lot about you, and the way these people look is not screaming respectable, educated citizen with genuine concerns over the environment. Rather it is screaming degenerate filth who aren't even capable of keeping their own fingernails clean never mind being able to put together a coherent argument against fracking. Hence, they do themselves no favours.
