The problem is that the police are bound to act proportionately (College of Policing Code of Ethics). The action taken by XR is non violent and while they use seriously disruptive tactics, the strategic and tactical commanders have take a proportionate approach in dealing with the protests.
While we could kit up all the officers in full "riot kit" with shields supported by horses and dogs and take back the streets in a couple of hours, all it would serve to do is wake up the leftist activists and draw attention to their cause from across the world due to the actions of the police. |

[QUOTE=YorkshireT;14129775]40% of UK electricity is now renewable- mainly wind farm. That has to be a lot better than burning fossil fuel. I reckon in 10 years we will be almost 100% renewable for electricity.
Yes the lithium ion etc causes pollution on mining, but even with fossil fuel powered electricity, the electric car has been assessed as giving out half the emissions of a petrol car, in very credible studies, this is over lifespan including manufacture. However, it's unlikely many Tesla batteries will end up in landfill- they are too valuable for rare metals etc even when spent (and no one has degraded one much yet, cars in US with 250k miles on have degraded 10% ish) and Tesla will also fit them in their powerwall systems which they sell, which have solar panels and basically store up electricity for your house.[/QUOTE this is fake news sorry no way in 10 yrs will we be anyway near 100% renewable energy. |

what a great idea just destroy the countryside with big windmills
as someone who lives near a very large windfarm I can assure you there is a massive impact on the local wildlife here I can't really see this as progress I agree the air might be cleaner but at what cost to all the wildlife. we might save a few polar bears but to be honest I don't see them where I live anyway good luck |

But a bit of vandalism is fine?
I wonder if it would be as fine if it was your house that was defaced . Antisocial behaviour tends to escalate . On the upside I'm sure this morning's events will have given some parents of teens who fancied a trip to London to join the shenanigans food for thought ! |
