The leaders of Insulate Britain, who continuously promote climate alarm, apparently think it is acceptable for sick people to die in ambulances which can’t get past his illegal climate protest road blocks.
Insulate Britain Invokes WW2 Collateral Damage to Justify Deaths Caused by Protests
The spokesman for Insulate Britain implicitly stated that deaths caused by ambulances forced to wait in traffic because of one of his protests was like allowing soldiers in World War Two to die in order to keep secret from Nazi Germany that the UK had cracked the code for the Enigma machine, per his interpretation of historical events he had seen in the 2014 film The Imitation Game.
Liam Norton, now infamous for his wild and frequent comparisons of his cause to the Second World War, made the comments on talkRADIO on Tuesday, while calling host Julia Hartley-Brewer a “traitor”.
Footage went viral on social media on Monday of members of the public dragging Insulate Britain protesters off of Wandsworth Bridge road, and demanding the eco-extremists let an ambulance through. While at Blackwall Tunnel, a tearful and distraught woman beggedprotesters to allow her to pass to see her elderly, ill mother in hospital. Craig Scudder of Isulate Britain later told Sky News of the woman’s plight that while it was “devastating”, the eco-extremist group’s “hands were tied”.
Insulate Britain spokesman Liam Norton calls Julia a "traitor" for criticising protestors who blocked ambulances.

Britons last night erupted in fury after the mastermind of enviro-mob Insulate Britain said he would block an ambulance with a dying patient inside in order to continue his eco-protests.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Roger Hallam gave a firm ‘yes’ when asked if he would block an ambulance transporting a critically ill patient to a hospital for treatment.
The extraordinary admission, made during an interview with the Unbreak the Planet podcast, came after a tearful woman was filmed urging Insulate Britain protestors to move so she could get her 81-year-old mother to the hospital.

The following is Insulate Britain’s Liam Norton trying to answer difficult questions, like “what does your group want”, and comparing himself to legendary WW2 leader Winston Churchill. He stormed off from this interview when pressed.
I can’t help thinking Winston Churchill might not be the best historical comparison for Liam Norton’s brand of angry political rabble rousing.
Most of these kinds of people dry up and blow away after a few years, when their followers tire of their nonsense, or when they stumble and somehow fall from grace. But who knows?
After years of climate indoctrination in schools, and government failures to live up to their own climate rhetoric, there might be just enough climate frustration loose in Britain’s general population, for Insulate Britain’s Liam Norton to become a serious political player.
During times when trust in politicians is at a low point, ordinary people searching for a way forward seek anyone who displays convincing evidence of political integrity. That is why fanatics tend to do so well during troubled times. Fanaticism in an odd way can be perceived by ordinary people as an ugly form political integrity, because you can usually trust a fanatic to attempt to fulfil their mission – which is more than you can say today about most of today’s politicians.

Death…………by greening in a climate optimum!
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/69258/
This confused group of anti science activists could be appreciating the wonderful benefits that the current climate optimum is providing, including record food production and the incredible technology that we/they have, thanks to fossil fuels.
Instead, they spend their time fretting about a manufactured crisis…….being confrontational and with low comprehension of authentic science or critical thinking…………allowing themselves to be tools of change based on propaganda.
It’s been said that ignorance is bliss. Man, those protesters must be in heaven (-:
I get it that they have great intentions and think that they are standing up for an altruistic cause…….but its NOT the one that they think they are for, if they’re doing it for the fake climate crisis.
Actually, some of these people are suffering the most!

Having their intelligence stolen is probably the worst part of the damage.
Utter nutters. These climo-communists are going to have to be dealt with. Either shamed to the point they go into a hole or prosecuted.
Noting quite like a fanatic to rationalize the murder of innocents.
Yes, never so green. Apparently, all’s fair in lust and abortion.
Insulating homes in the UK is going to save the world? What an appallingly ignorant assertion. The man is a child.
Aren’t the vast majority of UK homes already insulated to some degree?
Yes you are right. Also what is insulation made of? I’m pretty sure it’s not wool or any other natural material. I think it’s man made materials made via an industrial process just like mobile phones, TVs, cars, bycycles, shoes, clothes, laptops, central heating, double glazing, carpet and the thousands of other products these hypocritical nutters are happy to to own and take advantage of, and how much of it will they have bought online and had delivered to their homes in fossil fuelled vans and trucks.
Plonkers.
A 2017 report to the UK Parliament said 25 million homes in the UK will not meet the insulation standard required by 2050.

And his name isn’t even “Greta.”
Well, cutting our 1 percent and falling CO2 contribution to zero by… well, choose your date, 2050. 2035.. what am I bid? will apparently save the planet. Anything that contributes to that would be a good thing — except for Chinese coal, German lignite, Russian coal, oil and gas… etc.

Whereas running them — “Insulate Britain” — over would be, what, fair game??
Once again, we have a prime example of the economically useless in our society dictating to the economically purposeful or just those with better things to do. Why aren’t they out insulating homes? Not their thing. They see their job as demanding that other citizens be taxed and other people be paid to do the real work.
Also another prime example of what our lives will be like under “Universal Basic Income”, where even more people will be paid not to work, giving them the free time to make live more miserable for those who do.
“Police lack powers…” Lack Powers??!? The police don’t seem to lack powers to force-“vaccinate” people or club people in the streets who defend their God given human rights. What “unmitigated gall!”
There has to be some crime here. Attempted murder? Assault? Menacing? Elder abuse? Treason against Queen Mum? Maybe a crime against humanity since grandma is victim of politics?
This is truly disgusting behavior, terrorist behavior actually since innocent life is put at risk. “An undeniable fact on the face of it.”
Granddaughter “don’t need no stinkin’ Camfauds”. Just throw a hornet’s nest among these vicious people. They’ll disperse.
Maybe a loosely stoppered vial of thioacetone?
That would be overkill! Something a little milder such as synthetic skunk odor would probably suffice.
Part of the problem here is that ‘Good Morning Britain’ are themselves a bunch of lefty climate alarmists who are now embarrassed by the actions this lunatic fringe ‘insulate britain’ crowd.
The public are deeply angry and rightly so. GMB now has to act as an apologist for these people whom they themselves have helped create. In any sensible society the likes of Liam Norton would be locked uo for a long time . .

There will be no political integrity in the whole climate scare narrative on either side of the Atlantic until someone arrives in government with the intestinal fortitude and brains to truly understand what is going on here and enlighten the masses with the truth about the Earth’s climate. Without any challenges and push-back against the alarmist narrative, Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain and the energy-related problems in the U.K. and Europe will be popping up again and again to haunt the ignorant.
The false belief in wind and solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuels only serves to make matters worse. It enjoys close kinship with the alarmist narrative. Replacing a high-density energy source with a low-density one is a recipe for failure, and all too few people understand that.
“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.” –Charles Mackay (1841)
Too bad they can’t install “cow catchers” (look up pics of old trains in the American west) on emergency vehicles….then they could just slowly push them aside!
You can leave out “slowly”.
The “cowcatchers” were meant to keep the tracks clear. Seldom ended well for the cow.
It’s quite simple just introduce a specific penalty for offences committed in the name of the climate. Actually this is not a penalty for them, it is what they are wishing for, laws to be introduced to forcibly make people use less energy/fossil fuels.
So, on conviction, ban them from driving for six months and cut of their gas and electricity for the same period.
Jobs a good un they get what they say they want and the rest of us get to laugh at them as they desperately try to get fossil fuels to heat and eat after just a few days.
How many repeat offenders do you think when a repeat offence ends up with a doubling of the sentence?
Nobody gets jailed, no martyrs, just sad sacks facing and experiencing the consequences of their desires just before they get to impose it on the rest of us.
Another control phreak!
Ah the irony.
The 30 year forecasts of the few selected ultra alarmists are facts, and the actual stroke of a woman yesterday is hypothetical.
Following the logic of these muppets is a tad challenging.
Correct me if I am wrong, the building regs on new home builds in the UK are pretty good.
There has been a drive by local authorities to insulate older homes. At least in Scotland.
Unfortunately, I live in a 19th century house. It could be far better insulated but would cost a substantial amount. It could be rewired for the “digital” age. It could have a new boiler and heating system. It could cost a lot of money. Money which I would likely never see a return on because renewable energy has driven up prices.
Why does Orkney, with 100% renewables, have the highest energy poverty rates in the UK?
Surely the energy should be free? After all, it is renewable.
Alas, no.
So the climate activists can go feck themselves unless they want to contribute to my fuel bill which I can’t afford anyway.
Yes true. My parents, who live in a village outside Portsmouth, Hampshire England, bought a 1940’s house. It was double glazed and had cavity wall insulation pumped in back in the 80’s to save on energy costs.
These people have no idea what war is, have no idea what prolonged energy and food shortages are like. These people are dangerous and should be locked up. Trouble is, BoJo just listens to his eco nutter, Marxist, spunk trumpet wife.
The organizers and participants of these kinds of protests should be sued for “wrongful death” if anyone died as a result of not being able to get to a hospital in a timely manner. There should be consequences for actions. If protestors can expect to be sued and have to pay for their actions, it will test just how committed they are to their cause.
Simplest thing to do is just turn the hose on them – preferably, a hose with VERY cold water. It’s cold over there in the UK, isn’t it? How long do you think they’d really last in soaking wet clothing and cold weather to boot?
Sold the hoses. Too hurty.

It’s really easy to fix, several States here in the USA have passed laws allowing the running over of illegal protestors illegally blocking roads. In the event of Emergency vehicles being held up, the solution is to acelerate and ignore the speed bump! The idea that illegal protestors would deliberately refuse to allow the passage of emergency vehicles in England can be readily be resolved by suing the protestors individually and as a group for damages caused by the delay of emergency vehicles! And, in the event of a death caused by delaying an ambulance, Arrest the Protestors for Murder 1 as the death being pre-meditated by refusing passage.
In a real actual war for real (*), wouldn’t blocking the ambulance be a … war crime?
(*) really real, not Maddow-style “literally real”, figuratively
His comparison is deranged.
For a start he seems to have no idea how Ultra Intelligence actually worked. We were reading parts of Axis communications and then making guesses as to what was actually going on.
Yes, protecting the fact you had broken the enemy’s code is an important thing, but there was also the need to obtain supporting evidence before going off and committing possibly thousands of men on some ‘ambush’ based off enemy comms chatter.
The idea that people were willingly killed off JUST to protect Ultra is Left Wing Bollocks. Every half sane commander knows their enemy is trying to gather signals intel, it is just a question of how much are they successfully obtaining.
The follow up comparison is both chilling and moronic.
They are blocking roads in order to… raise awareness… And if people die it is okay cause awareness needs to be raised? That compares to – apparently – allowing your own forces to die to protect an intelligence source that could be the key to winning a global war?
Seriously get your ego out of the warm body location you are currently storing it. The VERY best you might be able to claim as a WW2 comparison is that the people suffering from these stupid ‘awareness raising’ protests are the same as the airmen forced to fly over Germany dropping leaflets kindly asking Mr and Mrs Average German to stop with all that war nonsense.
Complete heartless prat.
Also one who doesn’t know what collateral actually means.
Hope his solar power room heater freezes some sense into him during the winter.
“you can usually trust a fanatic to attempt to fulfil their mission – which is more than you can say today about most of today’s politicians.”
AS politicians usual mission seems to be self-enrichment I think you are mistaken.

Liam Norton is quite right to refer to our fight against the facists.

Hose them down then a couple of goes with a cattle prod and then leave sounds like a good response to these nutters. They’ll soon learn.
