Insulate Now, an Extinction Rebellion Splinter Group, thinks the smart way to convince Britons to insulate their homes is to block the largest port in Britain.
Port of Dover: Arrests made as Insulate Britain blocks port
Thirty nine people have been arrested after climate activists blocked Dover port, causing queues of vehicles attempting to cross the Channel.
Insulate Britain, which has brought chaos on the M25 five times in the past fortnight, said more than 40 people had gathered.
The Kent port – Europe’s busiest ferry terminal – said passengers should take extra time for their journeys.
The main protest began at 08:20 BST and was cleared by police two hours later.
One lane of the A20 remained blocked afterwards, as two protesters were sitting on top of a tanker with their hands glued to the vehicle.

Extinction Rebellion, well they’re basically just a form of street theatre. One of their leaders admitted she drives a diesel, and they regularly make excuses for celebrity supporters who fly across the Atlantic to join their anti-flying protests. Not exactly leading by example.
I have no idea who Insulate Now really are. They’re just so different. And they don’t seem to be very good at communication. Perhaps that is why they split off from Extinction Rebellion – nobody understood what they wanted, so they got mad and left.
The real question, is what will the next splinter group be? How do a group of ambitious environmentalists differentiate themselves from “Extinction Rebellion” and “Insulate Now”?
Perhaps we can help them out, and think of a name and mission for the next splinter group. I’ll add a link to the funniest suggestions to the bottom of this article, judged by upvotes. Please keep it family friendly. Bonus points if a real group plagiarises your suggestion.
What will be the name and mission of the next headline grabbing climate splinter group?
Update (EW): h/t Patrick MJD – Good communicator “Insulate Now” leader Liam Norton struggling to answer difficult questions like “what does your group want?”.
That’s right, kick them when they’re down. Get your cheap thrills here.
These folks, in common with anybody/everybody, have been eating a nutrient-free mush diet for quite some time.
Such trashes minds – even more so than bodies where the damage is self evident, typically = fatness
Add on a tsunami of:
What Else Can You Expect?
OK, some people crack before others – but that’s only ‘Natural Variation‘ innit.
The list above could run to the bottom of this page and is = Ehrlich playing out
Name: Air Foil
Mission: Stop all air travel
Tactics: Taking a tip from their tree-hugging forebears of the Sixties and Seventies, hammering spikes into the bodies and wings of all aircraft. Also sabotaging aircraft manufacturing plants.
Further targets: Hot air balloon fuel tanks, rockets
The use of crossbows is encouraged for tactical advantage.
Air Foil: Join the Afghanistan people in falling from jetliner wheel wells.
All because the American safety net for the Afghanistan people was pulled from under them.
It was Joe Xiden that pulled that safety net, not the American people. We spent trillions of dollars and many American lives in an ultimately futile attempt to bring Islam out of the 7th Century.
The American people voted for Joe Biden, I said American saftey net not people, obviously that means the American administration.
And here we see a classic example of American “we are right you are wrong”
“in an ultimately futile attempt to bring Islam out of the 7th century ”
Thats what you get when you interfere in another country, you don’t even learn by example=
The English tried and failed
The Russians tried and failed,
But watch the Chinese show you how its done.
Oh my, so many possibilities:
“Bike/Walk Everywhere Now”.
“Turn Off The Lights Now”.
“Dumpster Dive For Food Now”.
“No More Pets Now”.
“Only Tiny Houses Now”.
“No Lattes Fridays Now”. (That’s a biggie).
“Strike For Climate 24/7 Now”.
And my favorite: “Live In Your Mommy’s Basement Forever Now”.
“Grind Me Up And Use For Fertilizer Now”
Officer, might I suggest you use your night stick? Vigorously?
They can do as they please because they’re winning, on all fronts. I’m afraid the die is cast and humanity will have to endure the collapse of the West and the rise of Commufascist China. The question is will the West go extinct or rise like the Phoenix?
It’s not insulation we need in the UK, it’s air conditioning.
“Medieval Serfdom Now!”. After all, that’s an accurate representation of the standard of living and liberty these folks want for society.
How much extra fuel was burned in the process from excess idling? BTW idling is bad for engines and wears them out faster.
Next time use water canons like the rest of the countries.
I didn’t know the Church of England had Water Canons! Is there a special order they belong to?
Maybe these groups were basically jokes or bets and took a life by themselves…
Do these clueless folks realize that insulation is made from fossil fuels like virtually everything they eat, wear, and use?
it is moving towards winter in the UK. Hose the idiots down with cold water in the first instance. If they come back, arrest them. If they come back again, call the traffic forward at 10 kms per hour and just keep it moving slowly. They will have time to get out of the way. If they persist, let the traffic move at the speed limit. They believe in sacrifice for Gaia, just as long as its someone else . Time to face them with reality.
Splinter group? The motto should be “He who sitteth on tin tacks shall surely rise again”.
Need some trucks like in Soylent Green to clear people from the roads.
With all of that water so handy, it’s a shame to waste the opportunity.
Somehow, I doubt XR miscreants would want to protest wet. All it takes is a bucket and a rope to fetch water.
After the first few bucketfuls, the rest might run away when they see you coming.
They need to rename themselves to “Democracy Rebellion”. My advice to these people is to leave the country and go somewhere where you’ll be happy. Let’s face it, if you hate the system, the flag, anthem, history and everything about the country, then do the rest of society a huge favour and bugger off to somewhere like North Korea where you can live the dream.
Let me get this straight:
And this is logical to these people?
Just curious, what adhesive do these clowns use to glue themselves to machinery etc? It must be pretty useless just like that used for postit notes. Surely the collective wisdom on this site could suggest something more permanant.
I initially read “sphincter group”.
Seems more apt?
