The replies regarding that we should listen to Radio Derby for the answers this isn’t great if you’ve not heard the interview.  Seems a bit lazy really.

The Just Stop Oil hardcore protesters fall into these categories:
Rich young people who claim they're doing it for the greater good of the planet, whilst using their brand new Chinese built phone technology. The chap who trashed the snooker is the son of a multi millionaire. Probably never worked in his life or needs to worry about money again.
Rich old people who have got nothing better to do, getting a criminal record means nothing to them. Oh, and it turns out most of them drive gas guzzler 4x4 cars.
Students going through the angry phase of life and think they're invincible. Prison and a criminal record will wreck many chances in life.
 
Instead of trying to ruin the ordinary working person's life, why don't they all head to the US, India and China and tell them to stop polluting the planet, being the biggest offenders. They won't though, because they haven't got the nerve to do it.

Feel the need to vent on the Bairstow topic.
By the letter of the law its out and if Australia or others want to play cricket in that manner then that's their prerogative. 
However, anybody that's played at a level above school boy cricket knows that the wicket was underhand and against the spirit of the game. If Carey wants to stump Bairstow then he should back his ability and stand up to the fast bowler. Of course, Bairstow wouldn't wander out of his wicket if that was the case so Carey decided to stay back like the snake that he is and stump him on the sly.
I've seen people showing clips of England doing the same thing and once again i feel the need to address these.
Marnus Labuschagne - Marnus was standing out of his crease, therefore this isn't comparable to Bairstow who waled out of his crease assuming that the ball was dead.
Colin de Grandhomme - The batsmen started to go down the wicket for a run before turning around, once again the fielding team is well within its rights to run the batsman out.
The Starc catch - England didn't make the decision, Ducket was leaving the field of play and the third umpire made the call. Whether it was out or not is a different debate but certainly not of England's doing. 
In fact the only example i can see of England doing something comparable is when Foakes stumped the Irish chap after waiting an age for the batter to briefly lift his foot. This was also sly in my opinion but if we're playing tit for tat then i'm sure we can find evidence of every test nation doing something shady. But that doesn't mean Australia gets a free ride for this action.
In my opinion England would've lost the test anyway but the fact the the number 1 test side resorted to this action is pathetic. England need their bums kicking for losing the first test so what should be a 1-1 score line is 2-0 Aus and the Ashes are all but done and dusted.
My final word on this is that i can't believe how many pundits have sided with the Australians. If what Carey did happened on a saturday down at Belper or at Denby there would be uproar and embarrassment from those involved. Its just really poor form all round.

It is counter productive as these big corporations they say are the target of the protests, they are not the ones having to clean orange paint off the buildings, they are not the ones being blocked on their way to work, school etc. 
All it's achieving is pissing off the public who they need the support from for the cause.
As you say, some will say it's a hoax which you may as well just ignore, others will agree with the points they are making yet couldn't support them due to the manner in which they protest.
Wouldn't be surprised if those at the top of the organisation know it's a lost cause yet lining their pockets from the millionaires that are bankrolling them.
Those on the frontlines, fresh out of college/Uni going through their rebellious stage loving the attention it's bringing, not thinking about the criminal records and what that could mean in 10 years time when it's time to find a job.

Chance to hear from the owner himself

I think of he doesn’t get promotion this season then Warne should face difficult discussions with Clowes about keeping his job. For me only way he keeps his job if we don’t get promoted is if we have a really strong season just miss out on autos and then lose in the playoffs, although losing in the playoffs would be a failure. We’re signing 10+ players in the summer, we are now undisputedly the biggest club in the league, we’re the favourites to win the league, last season was the joint worst league finish in our entire history and we’ve never been in this league for longer than 2 seasons. Promotion has to be the expectation.
