They paid for the set, they have to get their money's worth I guess xD

I was thinking that as well is it because the audience is not usually seen

It's all optics.... It is called.... Tell.. A.. Vision after all.

@@deadpanbarry5442 only if you can't spell

It's actually called "television". Coming from the Greek "tele" (meaning far away) and the Latin "visio" (meaning sight). So it translates into seeing something that is far away and has nothing to with telling a vision. Easy mistake though.

I was thinking about this as well. And this insulate Britain stuff is largely non-violent but still problematic enough to make the news every time and cause a significant amount of bother for those in charge. I'm not sure which other non-violent methods they could utilise to achieve the same level of non-violent disruption.

Ok yes but I mean Insulation not like it's a massive change It may get a lot of attention but I feel it's far more antagonistic than it needs to be and very much making enemies where it doesn't need to. The changes needed to stop climate change are sweeping and do warrant these kinds of disruptive protests, the changes needed to insulate people's homes -- not so much.

WW 1 rent strikes, Men at the front in the grinder for king and country, Women at home in toxic factories with no health protection and the landlords(rich) increase the rent! I had relatives involved, guess what, parliament didn't act because they asked nicely!

These protests wouldn’t have even happened if the government had done what it promised to do

Absolutely no comparison. The exact same argument can be used by britian first and Tommy Robinson. Can't invoke the past when the issue is a completely different one

Back in July greenpeace literally dumped a ton of rubbish outside downing street. It barely made any news at all, let alone national news for weeks. Protesting outside downing street or parliament has proven to not work, which is why these protesters resorted to these tactics. And the fact that no one knows anything about the huge number of protests that have happened outside parliament and downing street just goes to show how ineffective they are. Oh also, our lovely home secretary literally wants protesting outside parliament to be illegal, and for protests that are "annoying" to be illegal. Don't you love the smell of civil liberties being stripped before our very eyes in the morning?

Climate change

Some thing to do with insulate britain

They're called 'Insulate Britain', it hardly takes Miss Marple to figure that one out

he's just ageing, dont worry

@@_Shadbolt_ I hope so! He didn't look like he had aged that much when he was at Ed Gamble's wedding but you could be right

I know you mean well, but that can be a rude thing to say. Imagine if someone told you that you looked tired or something but it was how you always looked. You would feel bad

That’s just his eye shape my dear! I watched a podcast he did with Kerry godliman where he shared photos of himself as a child - the bags have always been there!

@@FreezingmoonDSBM but that's my point he doesn't always look tired! Perhaps he just didn't sleep well the night before? I just haven't noticed him look as tired as this in a while and if it does sound rude maybe I didn't word quite right. I only notice a difference because he's been tired looking like this before and that was during his mental breakdown so I was just a little concerned

They probably just read your comment, because now they're protesting outside the parliament.

They got the same brain capacity as sand bags

At least sad bags have a use….

All those lovely fumes you can’t breathe in must be great for the environment too.

Eh, it’s fine. Nothing great but nothing particularly serious either - assuming they used cheap wood glue it’s PVA (biodegradable) and some organic solvents (also fine). Probably the worst offender environmentally is lorries and planes shipping it to customers.

Is that true though? The women's rights and civil rights movements, for example, did exactly this kind of thing and it very much worked. The idea that this doesn't help their cause only makes sense if you ignore history and all the times it has helped.

@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 Rights for women and civil rights were battles that were won because each one had a significant and motivated support base and there was a sense that a historical injustice was being rectified. Environmentalism has broad support, but the specific Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion protests haven’t been able to garner such widespread support because their activities tend to aggravate the wrong people - the general public are the ones most inconvenienced by their transport-based actions. Also, I would argue that those former battles are still being fought in certain quarters. It’s a constant struggle. And what does victory in this current struggle look like? A stable climate? Too late for that. Climate chaos is already here. Blocking roads isn’t doing anything to help. If anything, it’s counterproductive.

@@stevej1154 oh I would never argue that the fight for women's rights and racial equality are over, not even close, just that those are examples of periods where they achieved very significant victories.

@@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502 the government has made significant promises and passed many environmental laws already, to behave as if their not acting at all so much so you're justified in blocking the road a d possibly killing somebody is just wrong. The government is doing what it can with the resources we have, britian is an incredibly low polluter on the world stage so the issue certainly isn't as pressing as slavery or women's rights. It's big headed to compare the two

No, she looks like she always looks, what's wrong with you?

Looking like a Picasso painting

No don't lie to be PC she does not

She always looks pretty:D
