Just Stop Oil

Just Stop Oil " " PROTESTORS " " Please Well go on then If you are what you would have us believe You say you are So dedicated and passionate about Just Stoping Oil Here is an idea for you Why not take your show on the road To say the likes of Saudi Arabia Qatar Or Russia Since that is where the majority Of the entire worlds Oil supply Actually comes from That might actually put a bit of a dent in it Probably won't stop it though All you are succeeding in doing is making a Mockery and fool Of an actual Serious subject And cause Performing and acting like spoiled children With their attention seeking stunts Actually doing the polar opposite Achieving far more harm Than they are good How about they Just Stop And come up with something anything else A tad little more intelligent That doesn't actually put people off Like preventing a dying patient in the present Here and now from being able to get to hospital In order to save their life and get critical urgent care If you care so much about saving lives As you pretend to be Can you explain what exactly qualifies And who gave you the right To decide both their imminent and families fate And play God with other people's lives That in real terms is tantamount to being Oilier than the Oil you want to stop

I agree Christopher they really are a right lot of oily attention seekers, none of them even seem to work let alone need a job, I think they’re more narcissists than protesters, they’d be shot on sight in any of the major oil producing countries you mentioned, excellent work, cheers David

They really don't seem to be or come across as a nice bunch. They only seem to care about themselves and don't give a stuff about anyone else be damned the consequences

well said, and of course it makes you wonder how do they actually travel to these events they are disrupting so badly and it wont be long before someone is killed by their stupidity. hugs Janxx

Hi Jan good evening If they did they would think of it or probably wear it as a badge of honor. I really don't think they give a damn or care at all apart from themselves. As so worried are they supposedly about saving lives in the future which no one can predict. They are willing to sacrifice some poor souls life in the present here and now on the way to hospital. Who's life they somehow or other deem to be irrelevant and in charge of their fate above the cause of saving so called lives in the future. How do they know that person could or couldn't be someone who at a later date wouldn't say invent or come up with a solution to the problem
