Gail: “You’re being a boring interviewer.”

She brings a physical example of the term motor mouth to our screen. She blathers on and says absolutely nothing of any merit. She claims she can’t even remember the name of her car but admits it’s a diesel. With the lack of awareness she is projecting, one wonders if she has been to the Joe Biden school of misconception and confusion?
Anyway, let’s look on the bright side. If that represents the level of the top echelon of XR remembering that Carrie Johnson is a self proclaimed supporter, then XR won’t last long because they lack any sense or credibility to exist.
There is an existential threat, and it is to extinction rebellion.

The woke environmentalists seem to be actually defined by their hypocrisy. It’s on display everywhere and it’s not hard at all to see that the emperor is naked!

The British Eurocrats did in fact subsidize the purchase of Diesel cars in the 80’s and early 90’s as a green alternative to gasoline cars.

Later, they realized that NOX emissions were making people sick. Of course, most of these emissions are eliminated in modern Diesels by controlling combustion temps and after-treatment systems.

“to avoid moron replies.”

Do you get a lot of grief from Griff, then?

I don’t know about the UK, but the US the diesel handle is green at most gas stations. She probably thinks it’s some kind of eco friendly fuel.

Wait, she flew 10,000 miles on a plane? What, was her broom in the shop?

If they wanted to avoid moron replies, they wouldn’t be delaying your replies, they’d be deleting them.

Yeah, Gail, pointing out your glaring hypocrisy is a tedious job, but someone has to do it!

“We are all hypocrites”!

I see you still haven’t bothered to actually research the subject.

See, she is just driving a diesel because she needs it, Al Gore is only flying on his private jet because he can’t afford to waste time, but what excuse do you useless deplorables have to still exhale CO2?!

Hypocrisy is a natural human attribute.

True, but some make an art form out of it.

What’s the going rate for paid protesting in the UK and does it come with benefits and a retirement plan?

While the press and the commenters here have focused on her hypocrisy, I think the lead story should come from something else she said during the same interview:

“ ‘If I was really green, you would be saying to me: ‘Oh you want us all to go back in the caves like you Gail.’”

That is an admission that to be really green, as they demand, means going back and living in caves. Can’t be any clearer as to what they want.

Headlines should be: “Extinction Rebellion founder wants humans to return to caves”
