Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

I see.

My point was about the difference in reaction by the police towards the "resistance" of the far right types attacking anything to do with immigrants whilst not actually impacting the money making of the upper classes, compared to their reaction towards the resistance of middle class young ecologists merelly planning to do something which would disturb the money making of the upper classes.

Present day Britain isn't actually prone to the kind of civil disobedience which isn't polite, unless we're talking about working class attacking each other or atacking immigrants based on the newspapers (almost all of which are owned by billionaires who pay no taxes in Britain) having manipulated them into thinking it's the immigrants that are to blame for all that's wrong in their country.

This phenomenon in Britain of true civil disobedience that actually damages the interestes of the upper classes (rather than peaceful, polite even, demonstrations that are invariably ignored) is a recent re-invention (last time around, involving the actual working class rather than the middle class, it was to do with mass loss of jobs during Thatcher's time and they were violently repressed) and miniscule in terms of numbers of individuals involved (respect to them as IMHO they're very much swimming against the current over there) and there's an overabundance of boot-licking Brits (even here) complaining about how those people shouldn't be doing demonstrations which are a hassle for others.

Compared to what, for example, the French do, both in term of their actions and how they're views by those around them this is nothing and even then yields the silence of the many and the loud criticism of a large minority of Brits who have a "people should know their place" boot-licking spirit.

If you look at things like Black Lives Matters, the US has a lot more true civil disobedience in terms of numbers (even relative) than the UK, though it tends to be done in ways which don't negativelly impact the interests of the American upper class (the last that did, Occupy Wall Street, was violently suppressed by none other than Obama, who might be a great Political Songbird but ideologically is as much a Hard Neoliberal on the side of the Financial Elites as the rest).
