A couple of years ago Crass released a load of their stems so there are a whole load of remixes of them around, some of them are quite good.

I was on the side of climate protestors for a long time. Over the past year or so, their tactics to promote their campaigns are getting very tedious and becoming a nuisance to people who might well be eco aware, however they're disrupting their daily lives. 
What grinds my gears more is the level of hypocrisy. This is from all sides. The oil/gas companies making huge profits from a humantiaran crisis in Ukraine. The same goes with supermarkets. All have exploited the situation, "followed the market" and made their shareholders very happy. And then you have climate protestors filming all their content on brand new phones made in China, a diet which has a bigger carbon footprint than a regular balanced diet, because the vast amounts of importing from their food. I can't get behind any of these groups. I feel like I can't stand all sides of the debate.
Having watched Clarksons Farm, besides the larking about, it raised genuine concerns about issues with buying local produce, lack of support for local farmers and the vast problems within the UK food industry. I wouldn't mind if the climate groups actually joined together with UK farmers to promote the benefits of buying food grown from our own shores. There must be a carbon footprint saving, rather than the constant streaming of imports. We save the planet and it's more money for farmers. But sadly I can't see this happening, because of the horrible lack of comprise we've seemingly have forgotten about.
I understand buying British food is more expensive, it does come at the price of a higher shopping bill. If many UK families stopped eating fast food once or twice a week, which is the current average, that would cover the additional expenses of having to buy more expensive local food. Also, if we are to be more sustainable, we need to go back to eating seasonally. I feel like the vast amount of choice is damaging us because we've become so lazy and we can pick whatever we want, whenever we want. I'm not an old fart either, I've only realised recently to becoming more conscious about my lifestyle and wanting to see future generations not struggling because of our stupid decisions.
Sacrifices need to be made at some point, a shame many of the stakeholders from all sides can't have a grown up debate to sit down and discuss what we go doing forward to save the planet.

I think Aldous Huxley was nearer to the mark than Orwell, sadly
Orwell envisioned the masses subject to forceful suppression with those who tried to question it being crushed by the state. Not many rebels about and when they do show up, they are dismissed as idiots.
Huxley, on the other hand, described a society where the masses were mostly docile. Soothed by modern pleasures, mollified and amenable to control. He said that the pacification of the masses would be gradual with people blissfully unaware of their own complicity. Seduced by technology’s shiny baubles. 
What do you reckon?

How i see it.
The world's media is one component of the machinery, the news programs are not there to inform us, rather to shape our thinking and reactions.  International and local institution are also under the heel.  Big corporations have merged with this power structure, in what Mussolini termed fascism.  We the people herded like sheep and kept in perpetual fear, as our long fought for rights get whittled away by increasingly authoritative regimes and their militarized police force.  Lies are truth, up is down, wrong is right, or else. 
Orwell didn't write a novel, it was a field guide to the future. 
The megalomaniacs at the top (for now) like to multitask, each input designed for more than one connected outcome.  The Covid lockdowns and restrictions were part of tightening the consolidation of power.

You are right.

When the gas price went up wind didn’t become more expensive nor nuclear power. It is one big fix an weas the working class suffer because the price increases lower our living standards.
It doesn’t matter who is in power nothing will change like you said it’s a stitch up.

Well guys this season been postive one mostly we had brilliant cup runs in the league cup and FA cup only disappointing one was papa John's competion I throught we get out of group stage we went 18 games unbeaten run went so close breaking that record jim smith did that year. In the league cup we made to last 12 I think played liverpool pushed them all the way and lost on penalties and we had great cup run and played west ham in the fa cup and our unbeaten came to a end. And few weeks we struggled to win games or even draw them in the cost us promation but we go again next season with new players which I hope get us back to the champership end of next season.

And why not?

Got up at 6.25 this morning and put BBC Breakfast News on and there was a half hour programme about Rob and living with MND it was heart breaking to watch and hard as well, there was one point when one of the doctor's was talking to him about the end and how he felt about it and he just smiled and said he didn't want anyone talking negative like that. You think you have problems in life and feel a bit down then programmes like that show us how lucky we are. I'm not ashamed to say I had tears rolling down my cheeks when his wife/mum/dad were trying to talk about life without him. 

High speed chase almost ending in catastrophe??? hmmmm
the person/ people being chased set the speed for any chase and surely that would be determined by the danger posed by the chaser 🤷🏻‍♂️,
some hacks with a camera pose enough threat for you to endanger lives ? I think not 
just another publicity stunt by attention hungry pretend victims and to top it all a rather disgusting use of his mothers death

3 volunteers arrested on Saturday for handing out flip flops and rape alarms. 
A Met Police spokesman justified this action, saying "It's up to the Met to decide who gets raped or not in this town".
