Semi-naked climate change protesters cause a stir in Brexit debate
A group of semi-naked climate change protesters created a stir in Britain’s parliament on Monday, pressing their bottoms against a glass panel overlooking the chamber where MPs struggled to concentrate on a Brexit debate.
As MPs started yet another day of lengthy debate on how or even whether the country should leave the European Union, 12 protesters stripped to their underpants to show slogans painted on their backs, including: “Climate justice now.â€
Several MPs could not stop themselves from looking up towards the public gallery, some giggling as Labour MP Peter Kyle tried to defend his bid for force the government to stage a confirmatory vote on its Brexit deal by pointing out what he called the “naked truthâ€.
Some protestors appeared to have glued themselves to the glass, while at least two were dressed up as elephants.
On their bodies were written the words “Climate justice act now†and “eco collapseâ€.
Why can’t the ones who do this be attractive? Why do they always look like the don’t get exercise and only eat tofu? Why do they think this kind of childish stunt will help their position?
Parliament just got a little bit more nuts! pic.twitter.com/znZa5AndUu

The group who did this, Extinction Rebellion, is just getting nuttier and nuttier.
“Why do they think this kind of childish stunt will help their position?”
Good question. I wonder if Porter Good has the strength of character to turn the question around on himself:
Why does Porter Good think that the childish act of making fun of others will help his position?
And ^this^ is “taking it down a notch?”
Precisely.
I wonder if Jeffery has the strength of character to turn the question around on himself:
Why does Jeffery think that the childish act of making fun of others will help his position?
No more than you do.

“No more spoofing other poster’s names. No more nasty personal names. No more epithets.”
If “Liljeffyatemypuppy” can point out any infraction of any one of those edicts in my comment, let him do so.
“We’re adults here, …”
Rrrrrright?
Questioning the host’s strength of character?
Please.
In other words, “Liljeffyatemypuppy” cannot point out any edict issued by Porter Good that I actually violated.
I thank him for this confirmation.
You’re lack of comprehensive reading skills is staggering.
You’re welcome.
In other words, you can’t win the argument so you attack another’s character.
Accept the science: “Global Warming” is a government ruse.
Porter Good. Deniers. I’m sure Jeffery can’t go very long before we have a compendium.

They seem to be following the tactics of Mao’s revolution.
One of the founders, the main theorist Roger Hallam describes on a lecture video what he did after failing as an organic farmer:
I decided to come down to London to take out the system because I didn’t like it very much. That’s my plan. And I obviously wanted to study how to do it effectively so that’s why got myself into King’s College.
Another lecture recounts how Extinction Rebellion will save the world:
Name of the game: got to bring down all the regimes in the world, ideally simultaneously, and replace them …
The practical implementation happens by paralysing major cities with masses of people. According to Hallam, disabling traffic for a sufficiently long period of time would result in e.g. food shortages. “Once that happens the regime will fallâ€.
…
Roger Hallam believes that if taking down the British government is successful â€in a few weeksâ€, then the aggressions would quickly spread to many other countries, as happened with Arab countries in 2010 to 2011.
The schedule of this western Arab Spring is also mentioned in these materials. The global revolution is to take place starting 15th April, 2019.
