James Delingpole points out that British police are not only failing to stop illegal acts by deep green protestors, in many cases they are facilitating the efforts of the protestors to perform illegal acts.
Delingpole: Why Is Boris Johnson Allowing Eco-Fascists to Run Riot in Britain?
JAMES DELINGPOLE
17 Feb 2020Extinction Rebellion vandals are digging up the lawns outside Cambridge’s grandest college Trinity and have blocked one of the roundabouts near the city centre.
Why aren’t the police arresting them? Why should taxpayers have to pay for the damage done? And what does this say about the future of Britain under a green tyranny where hardcore environmental activists and the Boris Johnson administration appear to have formed an alliance in opposition to the British people?
Here are the scenes in Cambridge today, dodgy anarchists wearing the fashionable Extinction Rebellion hat, digging up Cambridge’s manicured lawns under the rainbow flag.

To be clear: we don’t want to spend our Sunday blocking roads in the p***ing rain and howling wind but our politicians have failed us. We have 10 years to fundamentally change economies to avoid cascading climate & ecological impacts. We won’t stop until we see change. pic.twitter.com/yZNX4vwnPb

Shockingly, almost unbelievably, instead of clearing away Extinction Rebellion’s makeshift roadblock, the local police have actually chosen to formalise the protest by using their own ’emergency police powers’ to close roads officially. Buses have been diverted. ‘Pedestrians and cyclists will not be affected’, the Cambridge Police Twitter account tells us primly and with, perhaps, a hint of relish at being able to participate in this orgy of environmental virtue-signalling.
…
The story of Hamas’ takeover of Gaza provides an interesting possible explanation of why Extinction Rebellion eco-extremists are so keen on roadblocks.
As soon as Hamas took over, one of the first things they started doing is directing traffic and enforcing parking laws.
Why would a group of religious fanatics care about parking and traffic rules? The reason – when residents of Gaza got used to obeying the terrifying, heavily armed Hamas “traffic wardens”, they accepted the authority of Hamas to tell them what to do. And once everyone accepted the authority of their new rulers, the takeover was complete.

The police are too busy with “non-crime hate incidents” to have time to bother with this sort of thing. They don’t even turn out for burglaries, muggings and shop lifting. Boris has many good points but appears to be influenced too much by his young lady, Carrie, who is a green nutter, sorry, zealot. She is very easy on the eye though!
We have 10 years to save the Cambridge lawn.
they didnt muck around removing protestors from ex reb the other day for blocking roads
a really nice mob tackle of a mouthy lass right through the mob abd straight to the van for removal
made me smile and fell rather happy.
I sent the link to the tips n notes area MODS;-)
These are not the hallowed lawns where only Fellows may disport themselves (as XR are somewhat desperately implying), those are inside the Great Gate. This criminal damage is being done outside the Great Gate just off Trinity Street on a grassed area easily publicly accessible (hence the bicycle parking, try an online map). They are however outside Newton’s rooms. Post-normal science perhaps?
Recently, I’ve read an article which described the illegal people smugglers in the Mediterranean Ocean with words like “affluent neglect ” and “sensitivities egoism”.
These people are broken, mentally ill, brainwashed, unable to form relationships and suffering from “Gefühlsstau” which probably means “accumulated emotion ” in English. They are fucked up and want to feel good by doing good (and they don’t understand the consequences nor do they care about it). The corporate media use this to control these people by using petty emotions and neural marketing.
I’m pretty sure the climatologists are controlled in the same way. What could be done about this? Hate, violence, facts against these sectarians probably wouldn’t work. It would be best to show them how ridiculous their claims are, but in a non-harmful, diplomatic way.
To the utter shock of the good Delingpole (over at Breitbart) BoJo sold Brexit success straight away, sending the UK to a green hell.
After 3 years of unbelievable political turmoil, BoJo was seen as the great savior.
Shades of the Glorious Revolution, what?
Anyway right in time for the election, Bank-of-England governor Carney decided to head to the UN to replace Sir Mike Bloomberg as climate “protector”. You see Carney has a green finance Initiative, the mother of the GND parroted by Bernie, AOC, Leyen et al.
And hey presto – the UK leaves the EU, by why worry – the EU will follow exactly the green suicide of the UK, at least for a while.
Now there is a fly in the green ointment – China.
So forget Russia, Novachok, Crimea – the world’s most evil threat is China!
At the Munich Security Conference Batman and Robin, Pompeo and Esper, with a Pelosi chorus, without the Union Jack, merrily trumpeted that narrative. Look at how they chime!
Why are we allowing utterly incompetent, totally insane green finance to run riot ready to demolish the human population, and a Crassus KBE, mini Mike, to insult farmers, manufacturers, and deny healthcare to the old?
Any you focus on roadblocks and Hamas) Are ye gone totally to the dogs?
That’s even worse than BoJo and Mike and his running mate crooked Hilary, barking up the wrong tree!
I don’t think Bloomberg will be the Democrat nominee, but if he did win and did pick Hillary as Vice President, I would be delighted.
Choosing Hillary would put the focus back on the most serious danger to befall the United States in its history, the attempt by Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration to undermine the presidential election of 2016, and the U.S. Constitution.
Had Hillary and Obama been successful, we might have already lost our free choice of who would govern us. They would have had the power and ability to rig future elections and to hide the fact they were doing so from the public.
We are not out of the woods yet. The only way to fix this problem is to reelect Trump so the prosecution of these Democrat traitors can continue. If a Democrat is elected president, then all of this will be swept under the rug and there will be no reason for a dishonest Democrat not to continue to try to rig the election system to favor Democrats in perpetuity.
Traitors need to be punished severely to deter potential traitors in the future. You should go to jail at a minimum, if you deliberately try to undermine the U.S. Constitution. You wouldn’t want me on your jury because I don’t like people who try to take away my personal freedoms.
Those of us who are fair minded with common sense are held in a vice like grip by hysterical environmentalists and global warming fanatics referred to as eco fascists and rightly so by James Delingpole. For instance in France the fair minded common sense approach of citizens, voters and Le Penn supporters who declared that they were not racist to suggest that migrants crossing the Med in overloaded trafficked boats should be encouraged to stay in their own countries particularly sub Saharan Africa by economic development of those countries. However as this would require investment in massive power projects using fossil fuels similar to China and India, this was vetoed by the IPCC influenced western governments particularly the collective voice of the EU.
I could go on and declare that this hysteria has been driven along by environmentalism using global warming as the main vehicle which has no basis in science whatsoever and is a complete myth ever since its inception in 1988 when CO2 was declared a dangerous pollutant that would lead to catastrophic anthroprogenic global warming.
This IPCC influence can only be described as vice like.
XR protesters didn’t just dig up the lawn at Trinity College. They also dug up the lawn outside of the British Home Office. They were arrested for it.

OH What they’re doing to that portion of the Carbon Sink MUST BE CRIMINALIZED for the sake of GAIA
It reminds me of “Invasion of the body snatchers”. You could be forgiven for thinking that one by one the political leaders have been replaced with copies that were made to carry out a nefarious plan. First it was Michael Gove. The real Michael Gove – the person who led the department of education, once, under another prime minister – was vocal in warning about the “blob”. That was why he had to be replaced. The fake Michael Gove is implementing policies that the real Gove would never have countenanced. Along with Gove, are all the other heads of departments, of law enforcement, and one can only reach the conclusion, the the PM himself has also been replaced.
Must be a Stepford Parliament
Very important that these middle class yobs should experience vandalism to their own property.
‘We don’t want to cause damage to other people’s property, but our police have completely failed to keep order and these self-righteous windbags think they are above the law. So direct action is the only way to bring them face to face with reality……’
It’s the UK, anything goes….except imported farm products.
I agree with Hotscot up comment,the best way to destroy Gang Green is let them be seen to win.
Then arrest the ringleaders and pull the police protection all at once.
Now whether Boris is part of that plan is anyones guess,but as public resentment toward the fools and bandits grows,”Flexible” politicians will leap to the front of that parade too.
Observe Canada,where the ruling Uni-Party has sucked up to Gang Green for decades,now the transport of commerce is blockaded and public resentment is growing.
Toward all parties, but especially the weak and useless government.
The fools manning those barricades are walking advertisements for their own gullibility.
And the Government funded media coverage is classic, over the top support for anarchy by “Hereditary Chiefs”,dismissing the elected band councils and chiefs as irrelevant.
The UK may want to avoid such idiocy.
If the [whatever the polite current term for Indians is] want hereditary chiefs, why didn’t they elect them? It is obvious that the majority prefers the system of elected band councils. What infuriates me is having to pay more than double for the pipelines and dams because of the protests, seemingly led by imported hooligans.
Anyone get the feeling that China and Russia are laughing while they eat their popcorn?
I don’t understand the fascination with digging up lawns.
A uniquely English symbol of home family and security?
Trudeau is no better… and the CBC is a disgrace since it is taxpayers’ funded and they censor any opinion expressed related to First Nation issues…
Boris, just another left winger in disguise.
Because the Master of Trinity College is an Extinction Rebellion supporter.
“Dame Sally Davies calls for Extinction Rebellion-style campaign to raise awareness”
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/apr/29/antibiotic-resistance-as-big-threat-climate-change-chief-medic-sally-davies
good point…
Sally Davies – master of Trinity College?
Listen here for an explanation – for an explanation of why this lady has been given such a prominent comfy sinecure is surely required.
Great article and comments. But I’ve got one worry about the Hamas reference. Didn’t Hamas think they had the right to direct traffic and so on because (unlike XR and Antifa) they had won a General Election, and the defeated party, with Western backing, refused to hand over power?
Mind you, my memory of the events might not be entirely accurate, as I was a Guardian reader at the time. (Honest, I’m reformed now!) So I am open to correction.
Here we might even see the difference between Boris and Trump. Boris has been a politician all his life, Trump has not been one right before becoming president. Boris seems to still feel beholden to political stratagems. Trump does what he feels is the right thing. No matter if Trump is right with every little decision he takes, he aims much wider and is able to take aim at what makes no sense in order to tear it down. So Boris, is this a trend and did you just not see the banana peel?
