Heathrow protests

[fearisthekey]

A poker forum somewhere is discussing climate change, and they maybe wouldn't if the protest hadn't been on........
Job done.

I have just realised that I won't be around when the climate change damage happens. Where's me airmiles?

Heathrow is unsafe without a new runway, if they keep present traffic levels.....

Also, it is environmentally friendly to use as much of the local Middx environment as possible. Please build at will. Especially at Feltham.

My friend's house in Feltham is directly under the flight-path of heathrow - and his house is still worth a lot more than mine.  Although mine is in Tamworth.

Why do people want to live there (Feltham, not Tamworth)?

Feltham is singing out!
There are a ton of jobs around Heathrow, and Feltham is one of the cheapest places to live around there.
I did check out a house there with a mate once about 18 years ago, had no idea the place had a 'dark side'. We asked the landlady whether the bulletholes on the window were from people firing out or people firing in.....
Close to an industrial site, and just pretty rough. But if the demand is there, the prices will still follow.

There seems to be a hardcore of protesters that will show up at anything. How about get a job, pay some taxes.

 Na that would to hard for them

Lol, i saw one protestor chatting on tele sat next to his vw beetle, he'd driven 200 miles to protest.

1) in an old car that polutes and is not effiecent

2) WAS DESIGNED FOR ADOLF HITLER, and crash tested buy putting polish prisioners in it.

As for carbon offseting lmao, the carbon has been created, you can't undo it, planting a tree will require carbon in transportation etc, so you will be in carbon debt for ever.

did you know it takes 4x as much energy to make and ship a toyota prius than it will ever save in its life time.

recycling glass is very inefficent, grind it down to sand ffs.


Im not anti green but i am realistic, i dont waste energy or try to harm the environment, ( i deplore littering).

Rant over.........................Oh and runway good thing will save loads in stacking time thus using much less fuel, as for the poor people who loes their homes, errrrrr you moved to a spare piece of land next to an airport?

while im at it, if the world stopped eating meat, what would we do with pigs and cows? (i know milk, but we would only need a fraction of the cattle)

They had nothing on Animal Rights protestors.

I've got nothing but admiration for those people. Vivisection is one of the few things in life that truly upsets me (alongside Swansea City losing to Cardiff), and those that propagate it deserve all they bloody well get.

To reduce my carbon footprint, I have switched from pencils to biros, got my missus a cheap engagement ring where the diamond is barely visible, and swapped Ashley Cole for John Terry in my fantasy football team.

If we all do our bit, we can do this people.

Like having their relatives corpses stolen from their grave?

If you or those close to you develop AIDS/Parkinsons/Alzheimers/Schizophrenia et al. you'd be quite happy to refuse treatment? No animal experimentation, no treatment.

When the protest first started coming on the news the first interview i saw with one of the protestors was with a 40 year old white dude wth glasses, dreadlocks, and an army coat, needless to say i havnt followed the story anymore.

We had a 'green' hippy style teacher at school (over 20yrs ago) and he was always lecturing about green issues whilst most of us slept through the class - however, this was one issue he was totally against, he spent the whole 1hr and 10mins explaining the process of glass recylcing and how it uses more energy to recycle glass.  He was very passionate about it, banging the table and everything - woke us all up that did :-)

Pubs aren't allowed to recycle glasses I believe.  They have to give you a knew one when you go to the bar, rather than refilling the one you've just emptied.
