I’m looking forward to participating in this.

He said new laws further criminalising disruptive protests had made traditional, accountable methods of activism increasingly unsustainable, and a clandestine approach increasingly attractive. He pointed to the case of activists from JSO who received sentences of four and five years – reduced on Friday after an appeal – for organising road blocks on the M25.

This is exactly what myself and many others said would happen. If you punish peaceful (but disruptive) protests as hard as, say, murdering the CEO of exxon, you might as well go for the murder.

I don’t really want to live in a world where vigilantes are murdering the entire board of oil companies, but i also don’t want to live in a world with big oil companies destroying our climate.

I see nothing wrong. Sabotage is a time honoured form of protest.

Clandestine sabotage requires more skill or a very different type of skill set.

Once sabotage skills are refined and not jailed away, saboteurs and mass activists can regroup to form a symbiosis of protection and attention.

Good

It’s about damn time. This is much better than throwing soup at painting like an absolute dumbass.

Where is George Hayduke when we need him?
