Fuel Protests

It's always advised that you shouldn't store food with tomato-based sauces in aluminium foil containers as the acids from the tomatoes will leech into the aluminium and contaminate the food.

Perhaps this was the inspiration for the movie ?

Update on the trial of the two JSO clowns who threw soup over Van Gogh's Sunflowers in 2022:

They have been found guilty (hard to see how they could have been found otherwise bearing in mind they ensured their act was filmed) and the case adjourned for sentencing.

The presiding judge, HHJ Christopher Hehir, has advised them to "prepare for imprisonment" so expect more wailing from the assorted rag-tag band of eco-luvvies + the owl sniffer and a certain major beneficiary of HMG's "green" subsidy money.

"the owl sniffer"

Perhaps Judge Hehir is taking a leaf out of the book of Lord Carmont who imposed large sentences to the Glasgow razor gangs.. Good for him.. Knighthood should be in the post

In 1952, when razor gangs were running amok in Glasgow, Lord Carmont went there from Edinburgh to preside over the High Court and after warning that future sentences might require to be more severe if the use of razors and other similar weapons did not cease forthwith, he then imposed sentences of up to 10 years' imprisonment on all those who appeared before him convicted of inflicting horrific injuries on others. One week later the Glasgow police had their first weekend since the war without a single slashing or similar attack. This incident resulted in the phrase "Doing a Carmont" entering the language of the underworld and the press.

Some may have been unfortunate enough to watch the statement given by the mother of Cressida Gethin, one of the four imprisoned, whining that the sentence means dear Cressida won't be able to attend her brother's wedding next year

The level of tone-deaf elite entitlement displayed is breathtaking.

Actually, I do have an idea: We should allow Cressida a day's release from prison so that she can attend her brother's wedding and then stage a protest blocking her route to it.

Genius!

I see that the JSO loons are spraying orange paint around Heathrow Airport this morning, including plastering the departure information boards to obscure them.

What's really interesting is that one of those engaged in this act is none other than Phoebe Plummer, one of the two found guilty of criminal damage just days ago for throwing liquid over a van Gogh painting and currently awaiting sentencing for that matter.

It is abundantly clear that these people don't accept that the law applies to them and that they will do what they darn well please unless they are incarcerated to prevent them from doing so. Which raises the serious question of why repeat eco vandals are not kept on remand?

8 of them were nicked at Gatwick yesterday as well. Disrupt people going on holiday; that'll really win friends and influence people.

A further update on the two JSO soup throwers who were warned by HHJ Christopher Hehir to "prepare for imprisonment" when they were found guilty over criminal damage to Van Gogh's Sunflowers at their trial back in July.

Phoebe Plummer - she who engaged in the orange paint spraying stunt at LHR just days after being found guilty of the soup throwing offence - has been sentenced to two years jail, while her co-soup thrower, Anna Holland, has been sentenced to 20 months inside.

Perhaps they might use their time in jail to reflect on the fact that the law does, contrary to their prior beliefs, apply to them too?

Naturally, no one was ever charged over this:

The windows of a branch of Barclays in Bristol were completely smashed, with red paint visible on the bank sign

They will know what the outcome is too!

Hopefully the prison terms will escalate until they start to take notice ; the quaint old punishment of them being put in the stocks outside the courthouse so that members of the public could throw soup over them ( hopefully boling , could be brought along in a Thermos Flask for the purpose ) rotten eggs , or old rotten vegetables over them would strike me as particularly apt for this lot .

Indeed , they could be superglued to the stocks and left there until the natural replacement of skin cells allows them to go free , just as it would be if they were left glued to the roads without intervention . I do think theat when these people glue themselves to the roads , they should just be left there , deprived of their little backpacks or any help from their friends , and allowed to ponder on the wisdom of their actions .

I seem to recall that when a bunch of them invaded a Porsche showroom some time back , that was exactly the tactic used : the management just closed the showroom , put the lights out , and left them there - they were quite unhappy that there was no one able to see their protests .

I don't remember if it was in France or Germany, but a group glued themselves to a road. The Old Bill of whatever country it was summoned a road gang who proceded to dig up the tarmac so the protesters could be taken off to the clink, still glued to the road surface

Jeez, what do have in mind for those that set light to inhabited hotels, police vans, and grievously assault police officers?

What, you expect me to wipe your @rz3 for you!???


This is more of the treatment the attention seekers should get. Leave them glued, shut the door and turn the lights off. You can come out when you've thought about what you've done.

If anyone is interested in the Sentencing Remarks made by HHJ Christopher Hehir in the JSO throwing soup at The Sunflowers case (the one just concluded), they can be viewed here.

If you don't want to take the time to read them all, then I draw your attention to HHJ Hehir's specific remarks on Phoebe Plummer:

I think it safe to say that he's not impressed by her self-indulgent attitude!
