    I have it on good authority, from my 7 y.o. son, that there are no more dinosaurs!
    However I will get further confirmation this week as we are going to the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London!

    Yes, former London mayor Bozo The Clown bought 3 of those.

    But then former Home Secretary May banned them in English and Wales!

    Climate change protests will NOT go away because there is no other option.
    When multinationals and businesses start losing money they will have to listen to the tree huggers.

    I find it very hypocritical that some tarty talentless actress flies all the way from L.A. to take part in the demonstation...

    What is she on about...??

    Incredible how some people, once, they reach fame, they seem to embrace causes which they would not have bothered to be seen alive in sponsoring if circumstances were different.
    But it becomes trendy and more accepted... Anf if they throw an anti Trump or anti Brexit phrase into the equation they will have miriads of idiotic followers salivating for joy..

    What a sorry state of affairs.

    Oh....... Incidentally... Little 16 year old Greta Thurnberg is a big fake.

    Talentless ? She is an excellent actress my favourite film was "the Remains of the Day"

    Why do you feel the need to be so nasty to these women?

    "The political class, as anyone who has followed its progress over the past three years can surely now see, is chaotic, unwilling and, in isolation, strategically incapable of addressing even short-term crises, let alone a vast existential predicament. Yet a widespread and wilful naivety prevails: the belief that voting is the only political action required to change a system. Unless it is accompanied by the concentrated power of protest – articulating precise demands and creating space in which new political factions can grow – voting, while essential, remains a blunt and feeble instrument.

    The media, with a few exceptions, is actively hostile. Even when broadcasters cover these issues, they carefully avoid any mention of power, talking about environmental collapse as if it is driven by mysterious, passive forces, and proposing microscopic fixes for vast structural problems. The BBC’s Blue Planet Live series exemplified this tendency.

    Those who govern the nation and shape public discourse cannot be trusted with the preservation of life on Earth. There is no benign authority preserving us from harm. No one is coming to save us. None of us can justifiably avoid the call to come together to save ourselves."

    Hit 'em in the pocket (£) where it hurts and things will change.
    It won't happen immediately but it will over time.

    Yes, the idiot protestors should be made to pay heavily for their wanton vandalism. Make them clean up the mess they have created and make them compensate those who have suffered loss of income and livelihood.
