“That’s Cooking Oil” – UK Extinction Rebellion Blockades the Wrong Truck

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

UK climate protestors have allegedly plumbed new depths of raw stupidity, but blockading the delivery of cooking oil.

Eco-rabble shut down Marble Arch: Extinction Rebellion mob cause traffic NIGHTMARE in London as they glue themselves to a limousine and eco-warrior Swampy scales the monument

  • Extinction Rebellion protesters have blocked off roads around the Marble Arch near Speaker’s Corner
  • Earlier today the eco fanatics climbed onto a Shell oil tanker at a petrol station in Bayswater, London
  • Along with eco-mob Just Stop Oil, XR have brought 16 days of disruption to traffic, oil depots and commuters
  • Comes after activists blocked four of London’s busiest bridges on Good Friday – causing traffic chaos
  • Several oil firms secured injunctions to stop environmental protesters from targeting fuel processing sites 

A mob of Extinction Rebellion protesters have swamped London’s Marble Arch, glueing themselves to a limousine and bringing traffic to a standstill.

The eco-fanatic rabble have once again brought chaos to the streets of the capital as they launched a series of ‘disruptions’ on a sixteenth days of protests alongside Just Stop Oil activists.

XR members convened in Hyde Park earlier today before one group – which included two former Olympians – climbed onto a Shell oil tanker at nearby Bayswater, leading to six arrests.

Gold medal-winning slalom canoeist Etienne Stott and sailor Laura Baldwin glued themselves to the top of the tanker at a petrol station in Bayswater, near Paddington this morning. 

It a video clip seen on Sky News on Thursday, a interviewee claimed the group had mistakenly stopped a tanker that was carrying cooking oil, rather than fossil fuels.

The video of the Extinction Rebellion cooking oil truck occupation is available here.

I think it is becoming clear why most of them chose to be climate protestors.

I have no respect for these losers however I have even less respect for the authorities who enable them to get away with it. The authorities need a long and painful trip to the woodshed.

Tiresome stunts are all you have left when you have no cogent arguments.

The tanker – according to the HazChem signs on it actually contained something like vinegar.

Here’s an example of how “British Bobbies” deal with these loons. The cops have also been known to impregnate female protesters ( in a consensual way)

What’s the problem? They make very attractive hood ornaments.

Extinction Rebellion Group should live up to its name and go extinct.

Maybe Musk could buy an island and set up a site that makes no use of any oil, natural gas, or products made from them. Also, omit anything made from or by animals. Wood buildings, dirt floors, cotton, hemp or burlap clothing, only vegetables for food. No coffee or lattes.

No Internet, phones, electricity (not even using renewables. They require plastics, lubricants, insulation on wires, etc.), treated water, communications beyond yelling distance, no protection against bugs, etc. Very few medicines.

Anyone committing a crime protesting against fossil fuels would be sentenced there for six months. Actually, one cold night sitting in an outhouse might be sufficient, but six months should convince them that there are enormous benefits from the use of fossil fuels.

The Bass Rock will do nicely, and the boats that take the tourists out to see the Gannets can point out the Idiots as well.

I don’t get the point of these protests. All they do is enrage people. They probably lose support doing this kind of crap.

Do ER protesters earn a decent salary? If so, who pays it?
