'Extinction Rebellion's stunts are so counter-productive, they might have been devised by people hellbent on tarnishing the environmentalist cause,' writes MichaelPDeacon

Robert Conquest, the 20th century British historian, set down three laws of politics. The first was that everyone is conservative about what he knows best. The second was that any organisation not explicitly Right-wing sooner or later becomes Left-wing. The law that rings truest of all today, however, is the third, which is that the simplest way to explain the behaviour of any bureaucratic organisation is to assume that it’s controlled by a cabal of its enemies.

MichaelPDeacon Reading the room 100% inaccurately

MichaelPDeacon Since when did The Telegraph give a flying f*ck about the effectiveness of anti-climate change groups' tactics?

MichaelPDeacon Extinction Rebellion may have started out organically I dunno, but even if it did, it has long since been hijacked, infiltrated and subverted. All they do is beg the elites to take yet more power for themselves.

MichaelPDeacon If you look around the world, with eyes wide open, you will probably come to the conclusion that: climate change != CO2 climate change = poverty = greed. There is no clean earth when 2billion people live on $2 per day, 26 people own more than 50% world population. That's greed.

Doesn't he believe the human race should be culled to save the earth?! That needs fact checking, but if true then he needs to go to the front of the line. is actually a great look, their whole raison d'etre involves shock appeal when usual channels of protest aren't effective Disgraceful
