"Oligarchs and corporations on both sides of the Atlantic want to stamp out any threat to their interests. In the US, this effort has been led by the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. In the UK, the commissioner for countering extremism, Robin Simcox, appointed by the Conservative government, but who remains in post until July, previously worked at … the Heritage Foundation" -- George Monbiot

"Last year [UK police] sent over 1,000 officers from 39 forces, spending £3m, to shut down a climate camp and arrest 24 people, on the grounds that they might have been planning to occupy a road outside a power station. At the same time, they fail even to investigate serious organised crime, citing insufficient resources" -- George Monbiot

"Keir #Starmer’s team might not look or sound like Donald Trump’s, but its policies on protest and dissent are chillingly similar. So is the reason: coordinated global lobbying by the rich and powerful, fronted by rightwing junktanks" -- George Monbiot

Energy bills are rising again – fossil fuels are the culprit

“An incoming administration not only cancels federal grants but declares recipients as criminals. All these grantees applied under government calls FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, were reviewed and accepted. Trump wants to jail them.“

He's obviously been taking noted on civil liberties from the UK, which routinely jails climate activists.

At a similar time with not wildly different perceptions.

Houses to be fair are a lot better now, as they needed to be #insulateBritain and therefore absolutely more expensive to build or to have been brought up to standard, but not in the observed ratio.

Thatcher et al stealing the council housing and preventing replacement was a huge bad thing.

@fulelo But it's really important to prosecute all these non violent climate protesters!

Disruptive climate protests, like those by #JustStopOil, annoy some but actually work in shifting public opinion and driving policy change. For example, protests by #ExtinctionRebellion and #InsulateBritain led to increased media coverage and influenced climate legislation.

While some argue that disruptive actions hurt the cause, history shows that nonviolent civil disobedience, even when illegal, can be effective in sparking change, as long as it stays nonviolent. #uk

The silence from mainstream media is deafening.

Why has only the Canary and Yahoo News covered this?

Ich isoliere unsere Küche von außen mit expandiertem PolyStyrol. Die 10 cm dicken Platten dafür gibts in einem lokalen BaustoffMarkt und lassen sich auch mit dem Fahrrad transportieren. Das geht aufgrund der fast 3 m² Segelfläche nur bei wenig Wind und es muss geschoben werden.
Das Ding kostet 24 Pfund, umgerechnet 29 Euro, Maße 2,4m*1,2m*0,1m, wiegt etwa 5 kg und verursachte etwa 20 kgCO₂eq in der Produktion.

Speaking to the BBC last year, the town councillor Olga Podolskaya said she was in "shock".

"A prison sentence for expressing your opinion is a terrible thing. A two-year jail term is a nightmare."

Absolutely shocking when authoritarian countries jail people for two years for expressing opinions, isn't it, Judge Christopher Hehir?

Chris Hedges: Burn the Planet & Lock Up the Dissidents

The imprisoned Roger Hallam believes that resistance is not, ultimately, about what we can or cannot achieve. It is about a “re-enchantment of the world,” he says. “It is about our spirit taking center stage.” By Chris Hedges in Norfolk,…
