Packham, 62, defended the right of environmental activists to target the homes of MPs, as long as their action was “peaceful and non-violent”.
Because that always happens, right, Chris?
“I think that we need a portfolio of protests, basically, because we need a radical flank and Just Stop Oil are seen by many as that radical flank,” he told Times Radio on Monday.“They are the people who in some people’s minds go a step too far. And that might be, you know, standing outside an MP’s house. But the fact is that they are motivated, as I am, by a manifest fear for the health of our future.
“The science tells us we have to act. These people are frightened for my future, for your future, for the future of any children they might have. They need to draw attention to this issue.”
By destroying public art and preventing the emergency services reaching people in need? Well, I suppose it makes as much sense as urging people to buy their eggs from Cambodia rather than Britain...
Packham added that Just Stop Oil “want a rapid just energy transition away from fossil fuels to a healthy, renewable energy system and they need to get that message across, and they’re desperate to do so. So I would support a breadth of protest.”
Which is something they don't appear to have. So, can we see you forgoing your cosy BBC sinecure and glueing your hand to the pavement in future?
“That doesn’t mean that you and I need to go and stand outside MPs houses. I’m taking a legal approach, a perfectly democratic one, which is available to me as a citizen of the UK. But yes, we’re on the same sheet.”
Let's hope you end up in the same cell too then.
One wonders what this Packham numpty would say if a load of people stood outside his house, willing to 'discuss' how selective his tv programmes are? Perhaps it's a shame that no one has tried it?

DeleteAs far as I can determine, there is no evidence that hydrocarbon fuels originated from fossils. Or that they are going to run out any time soon.

As John MacArthur would say there's only one person in charge of the world's climate and that's God. And He's already told us how the world will end, in the Book of Revelation.
Is Greenery a mental illness, like Wokery? Asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteYes if it includes word salads.
DeleteIt is puzzling me that all western governments are pulling out all the stops to transition to net zero. Planning to end all ocean going freight, closing all international airports, fifteen minute cities, and forcing a reduction in consumption of meat and dairy products, all by 2050. Meanwhile idiots like Packham and the foot soldiers with glue are squealing for action. There is action, too much action. Isn't it odd that the glue gangs seem to be funded by the very people planning this future for us?
ReplyDeleteVery!
DeleteThe particular waste of oxygen that is Packham has now identified himself as suffering from autism. With luck, this desperate pitch for the sympathy vote will backfire and the rest will now realise that he's just a self-serving dick of the first order.
ReplyDeleteTough on the few genuine autism sufferers to find him trampling on their patch, but he doesn't care who he harms in his quest for self-promotion.
