Extinction Rebellion - Hopefully Extinct Soon!

 

I must confess there are not many organisations in this world that I dislike - I could even use the word - hate! But these arseholes, Extinction Rebellion (XR for short), that describes themselves as an international 'non-violent civil disobedience movement’ is one for sure. This is woke madness! They have this crazy idea that says life on Earth is in crisis and facing a mass extinction. It wants governments, not just here in the UK but around the world, to declare a 'climate and ecological emergency'. Tell you what, plonkers, take yourselves off to Beijing and see how far you get with your demonstrations. You'd bloody well end up in one of those 'concentration' camps where the Uighurs are caged. The report I read the other day said that XR had stated that 'it now has groups willing to take action in dozens of countries.' Which ones? Maybe Russia, North Korea, China, Iran Afghanistan, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Vietnam, Libya, Nigeria? You people really are living in a delusory universe.

On the 16th January last year I was driving past Shell UK's headquarters here in Aberdeen when I saw these pricks blocking the entrance to the site. I stopped for a minute and was aghast that the security guards seemed to do nothing. It was then that I decided to look into these morons. This insane gang was formed in 2018 and has carried out demonstrations mainly in London, and in places such as Manchester, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Portsmouth, Bristol, Leeds and on it goes. In 2019, a whole bunch of these pricks went on a hunger strike - unbelievable but true - supposedly to highlight issues of hunger in many of the poorer nations in the world. Look, jerks, instead of going on hunger strike, why not get a job, contribute to the economy and donate money to charity?

My overarching memory of this bunch of thickos was in September last year when they targeted and blocked news printer presses at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire, Knowsley in Merseyside, and near Motherwell, North Lanarkshire. Eighty of these scabs were arrested. I mean this was an attempt to strangle free speech and targeting the printing of The Times, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph, The Financial Times and the Sun. Of course, these are ' right-wing' newspapers. Why not block the printing presses of the Daily Mirror, the Morning Star, the Guardian or the Daily Star? No, because these are all your left-wing fruitcake newspapers.

And just last week several of these boneheads ganged up on a Barclays bank and the JP Morgan's headquarters in London and had glued themselves to plant pots and some had also glued their hands to fellow protesters. And, wait for it, some had stripped themselves naked. Is this the actions of fair-minded, intelligent people? Well, what do you think? Look, we are all, every single one of us, contributing to climate change: car and motorbike owners, rail and underground passengers, the use of plastic bags, etc. As for the XR screwballs, I wonder how many own a car, a motorbike, a scooter, who take these to their local petrol stations and get them topped up. And the ones with jobs, but who don’t have a car or motorbike or scooter, do they take the bus, the tram, the train or the underground tube to get to work?

I’ll finish this blog by telling these people, instead of blocking streets and buildings and creating mayhem, go to the Government, chat with Boris Johnson, and work out together a more orderly way of going about your business. Because to continue the way you are going you might just find an anti-XR group who will clash with you and Hell knows what will happen next!
