101 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 All caused by those on the train. They didn't start the fight, I'm sure they would have been quite happy to get arrested and call it a day. Which would have resulted in 2 arrests and a pretty simple process, now it won't be simple, I'm not sure you can pin the violent reaction of others on the protestors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 That really worked out well for the eco clowns, hopefully the same thing happens at their next disruptive stunt. Hard to know, as you keep going on about a loss of earnings they may see it as a success, however, I doubt anyone else will. The companies keep extra cash and the normal folk who keep the local economy going are out of pocket. Their the protest damaged the economy due to people being late for work or it caused no impact and the people shouldn't worry if their train is delayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I live in the same "real world" as you when folk get battered lying on the ground. I would agree today has got folks backs up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the link I posted further up. Nice one. The guy on the roof of the train attempted to boot the guy who was trying to get him off so he had what was coming to him. London has the largest financial centre in the world and these clowns try to put a dent in the economy by making Alan the fork lift driver 2 hours late for work and losing him £19 in the process. That'll really stick it to the man. The only disappointing thing about the video is that the electric train didn't drive off and rip that vegan bint's arms out of her sockets. Or the skin from the palms of her hands at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Who's stopping them? The guy on the train or the person in charge of their salary?You're suggesting unionising and challenging bosses for more pay which are both pretty ridiculous suggestions when faced with the immediate prospect of losing a day's pay (or being held up from going home to see their family after a night shift).Of course in the long term you're right - but this twat on the train was their immediate problem. I'm quite glad they dragged him down although the violence afterwards was clearly uncalled for. My biggest issue with it is the stupid choice of protest. Of all the things you can do in London you choose to go and disrupt the lives of commuters. Seriously bad tactics, and hopefully they'll learn from it. It's a vital issue that needs to be kept high on the political agenda. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the point he was naking is not that these people should tip up late one day and respond by shouting about more pay.More that is people are pushed to violence for fear of what loss of pay might do to them, perhaps its time to consider that they need to protect themselves from their employer aswell as protestors?Who are they going to boot f**k out of when its leaves on the line that costs them a couple of hours, or perhaps more appropriately, buckled tracks in the next record heatwave? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'm all for booting f**k out of these protesters. Stop aiming for the everyday working schmucks like us who in some cases, might get reprimanded for being late through no fault of their own. I'm 100% for climate protests, absolutely for them until something major is done to change what's happening. Absolutely for them, I was even part of one recently where around 60,000 walked through the city. However, I'm dead against random, ill-thought ideas like jumping on top of underground trains that are actually a benefit as things stand. If you've got a shortage of brain power to understand how dangerous this is to begin with, start fucking with people's livelihoods and lash out... well, you've got it coming. Start targeting those that are benefiting the most from fucking everything up- the mega rich and the politicians. They're the people that can really change things as society stands right now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in theory, they should be considering their place in this grand scheme of things.Unionising a zero hour contractor? Nae bother, I'll get that done on Monday morning. Give up my life and work on a farm with fresh air in my lungs and healthy vegetables for my kids? I'll do that on Tuesday. Folk are just trying to get on. I don't in any way condone the violence here - the protester appears to be a twat rather than anything more dangerous. But drag him off the train? Absolutely. And I think that would happen in Glasgow as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I worked a 0hr contract I didn't get penalised for being late due to transport disruption. This is bread and butter union or management relationship stuff it can be easily managed and is nothing like changing your life completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
