    Global cooling

    Change the wording to fit the changing narrative

    Striking for climate change or illegal immigration, all under the safety of mammy & daddys paycheques. Nothing but a pack of hypocritical ****heads.

    Goes without saying. Expecting them to cycle into the city centre also, so traffic should be lighter than usual also.

    Could they not do something worthwhile like plant 5000 trees somewhere on the quiet?

    More taxes on the working class. More taxes on fuel. Line the pockets of the politicians and government under the guise of "going green"!

    That is exactly it in a nutshell. It is as obvious as the day is long... at least if you have a brain anyway.

    Of course it is - and all these dole spongers out seal clapping because the working person pays for their ****in social welfare. The same with the spoilt little ****s dossing school for “climate strikes” - a nice day off and sure mammy and daddy will pay through the eye balls in carbon tax. Serious wake up call needed in the general election and time for the majority to put these climate obsessed cretins back in their ****ing box.

    Pi$$ing all over those who have to commute and work in Dublin for a living - should work out a treat. What went on in London with their stupid yacht and jumping on tube trains was positively cringeworthy.

    I remember the plonkers "Occupied" the Luas tracks and so they blocked off a bunch of people who were using clean public transport. That was helpful.

    I also love their slogan "Rebel OR DIE" yeah that's totally not a doomsday cult. Seems whoever says humans need a religion of some sort and are replacing Christianity with some other nonsense, are correct.

    That's apt, considering the famous footage of lemmings following each other off a cliff was faked. They were corralled off the cliff by the film makers.

    I don't know what they're protesting about.
    I mean if it all goes to hell and wipes out half the earth's population surely that can only be a good thing really for the planet?
    So if they really wanted to save the planet they would be all buy V12's and spending 12 hours a day revving them loudly and leave then running overnight.
    They could campaign the government to raise vrt and excise taxes on anything under a 2litre and hammer them with motor tax while giving a grant to anyone buying a 3litre and upwards. :rolleyes:

    They're making very vague demands that the government should do something, but have little to no ideas of their own on how to save the planet.

    🙈🙉🙊
