I haven’t seen thousands of bikes parked at protest sites

IWOULD like to know how the protesters against the use of oil, expansion of airports, climate change, etc, get to the site of their protests without using oil in some form or other.

If they drive they use oil, if by train chances are it’s pulled by a diesel engine, or if they fly they use aviation fuel. Are they true to their professed beliefs and walk or ride a bike for miles to get there? I don’t think so.

I haven’t seen thousands of bikes parked at protest sites.

Many of them are habitual protesters and make it their life’s work to protest. They travel long distances to do so, as soon as they see online (using electricity) that there is to be a protest, and don’t really care what it’s about.

They are really protesting against the establishment because they don’t fit in.

They can’t have a proper job or they wouldn’t have the time to attend the protests.

There are jobs about if you look hard enough. Even the most menial jobs have to be done by somebody. There is job satisfaction doing them and knowing that you are playing your part in society.

How do they heat their homes or cook a meal, without using some form of energy that uses oil in its production, or produces gases that are bad for the planet?

Do they fly off on holidays? That in my opinion is the worst cause of climate pollution as there are tens of thousands of planes in the air all over the world 24/7, up high where it counts and the pollution is distributed worldwide.

I am fully in support of the right to protest peacefully, but protest to the government and our MPs and local councillors.

They shouldn’t be allowed to block roads and stop the ordinary person going about their daily and necessary work, making journeys longer and creating an increase in exhaust emissions.

That will accomplish nothing except lose them support.

It’s harming society and effecting the living conditions of everybody that they are supposed to care deeply enough about to protest.
