Just Stop Oil Co-Founder Says Group is Giving Up on Labour to Save Us From “Climate Terror” as She Announces “Escalation” in Protests

by Sallust
22 February 2024 3:30 PM

The Guardian has published an opinion piece by Just Stop Oil (JSO) co-founder Sarah Lunnon. Here we see JSO’s vision of the world to come, with its activists in charge (naturally). Predicated on the impending “terror” of climate change, she makes it clear the organisation is giving up on Labour, and indeed the whole ‘system’. It’s a moot point whether any further publicity should be given to this outfit, but on the other hand it’s worth being forewarned. Here’s some of the rant:

At the end of last year, we wrote to all Labour MPs asking that they commit to resigning if, six months after gaining power, their leadership continued to implement Tory oil and gas projects. Making this commitment would have demonstrated a recognition of our current life-and-death predicament. It would have demonstrated that they understand the need for a response based on morality, a need to do what is right, a need to protect our homes and lives. None had the guts to respond.

If the Labour party in opposition, with a massive lead in the polls, cannot stand up to the Daily Mail, the finance sector and the Tufton Street thinktanks, how is it going to pursue a radical programme to protect us from the coming storm? We are witnessing cowardice on a national scale from the politicians who are likely to form the next Government. How can we not escalate?

That’s why we are asking Labour MPs at their offices, in their constituencies and at their homes to find their courage – and end the Tory oil and gas policies that are wrecking stable society. Ordinary people will demand of them that they recognise what is needed to defend us. We all have a right to feel safe in our homes, but with the storms, the flood waters and the fires we are not safe. When we’re choosing between heating and eating we’re not safe. When there’s one loaf between 10 shoppers we’re not safe.

People need to be protected from the coming terror; that is why we are asking Labour to deliver what is needed. No change is not an option. Either the state rapidly mobilises or we face spending our lives scrabbling in the flotsam and jetsam of an unknown planet, with every unprecedented extreme weather event or ‘natural’ disaster merely the warm-up act for what comes next. Reform – working for small or large policy changes in the hope that the right thing will eventually be done – hasn’t worked.

And here comes the magic solution to the “terror”:

In the coming General Election, Just Stop Oil will either stand candidates or support independents who sign up to a radical short manifesto. A manifesto that centres on deliberative democracy for a new People’s House. This will be a standing citizens’ assembly tasked with finding a response to the coming extinction event and the cost of living crisis. It will be the fruit of leafleting, door knocking, public meetings – and a faith in the British public that party politicians have long abandoned.

The current political system has failed us, so we need to replace it. The carbon parties are not going to save us. They’re only going to take money from us, and give it to big corporations. Labour is flip-flopping over Gaza – and will do the same on protecting this country and its people.

Of course, the reference to Gaza is predictable enough as is the epic naïveté. Normally at this point on a page on this site we add worth reading in full. That may not be the case this time but in the interests of covering all points of view, you have the option.

Stop Press: Labour MP and former Shadow Minister Stella Creasy has criticised the opinion piece for “calling for Labour MPs to be targeted in their homes”.

“The New Pause lengthens to eight years nine months” 

The writer of this excellent article concludes by saying;

”I have set out these new calculations in some detail because once it is more widely known it will help to bring the climate nonsense to an end.”

Well now, there’s optimistic for you! I wish that logic and rationality was a factor in this climate business but I am afraid it has gone way beyond that and seems to have become a religious cult driven with all the ferocity of the Spanish Inquisition.

Most office workers who quit their jobs during the pandemic now regret the decision, with almost three quarters pining for their pre-Covid roles

Sounds like more Government propaganda masquerading as news.

In the comments section of https://wherearethenumbers.substack.com/p/how-many-deaths-were-caused-by-the/comments , this one caught my eye:

Dan Shaw – Liked by Norman Fenton

The Yellow Card system is a passive monitoring system by government choice. On behalf of the government, the Royal College of GPs Research and Surveillance Centre at Oxford University runs active monitoring of respiratory viruses, such as influenza and SARA CoV 2. Active monitoring of all vaccines would expose the dirty secret of modern medicine that vaccines are not the ‘safe and effective’ miracle popular myth holds them to be. So long as doctors, bureaucrats and other well-meaning health practitioners believe vaccines are a miracle, they will go knees to chest to suppress anything ‘anti-vax’ in the false belief they are doing good.

Saw it on GBN around midday; top item on the news, with police Scotland taking an interest in offices in both Edinburgh & Glasgow. M’s £600K donation being spent on the odd campaign etc, by the sound of it.

“Say ‘pregnant people’, NHS watchdog tells staff in gender neutral drive” 

I’ll say ‘pregnant person’ the day they show me a bona fide XY ‘person’ with all his physical accoutrements – including dangly bits and testosterone levels – who who has become naturally pregnant.

Anyone else bothered by this? NHS to give our medical health data – you know, that thing we signed petitions about and instructed our GPs to withhold only a couple of years ago – to Palantir, that entirely corrupt ‘big data’ company. Were we informed? Do we get a choice any more? Clearly not. (It’s from Open Democracy so there might be a bit of nose-holding to read it.)

“In November, lawyers working for Foxglove wrote to NHS England on behalf of the National Pensioners’ Convention, Just Treatment and the Doctors Association UK, to raise concerns about the sharing of pseudonymised data.

The lawyers questioned whether consent requirements – which are needed to process pseudonymised data – had been violated, and what safeguards, if any, had been put in place to protect patient privacy.

NHS England has still not sent a substantive reply after more than three month’s but has now instructed all trusts to implement Faster Data Flows.

Following a story on GBN the other day, those who operate an iPhone might like to adjust their settings before April 23rd, to avoid the Gov’s trial “emergency” alarm game, allegedly to be tried on that day. In Settings/Notifications/EMERGENCY ALERTS, both Extreme Alerts and Severe Alerts, can be switched off. Mine have been.

Those who use Android ‘phones might wish to do likewise. It is really just a test of compliance.
