Hate to rain on your parade with facts but how did you work that one out?
There’s no such thing as a free meal

Yeah…A good day out punting around the bay and then entertainment and a good meal with like minded folks…It’'ll be a hoot…Oh by the way…Tell Joe public that we are protestors in case the press turns up…That should explain why we are holding up important shipping…
or they are doing it for a cause they believe in
Whether or not you agree with the cause, I’m not sure how that is so hard to understand or why you have to make false assumptions about them.
It’s a silly protest, they owe their cushy pampered lives to fossil fuel and they are probably all vegan too. That’s a very feminine diet because it encourages the production of estrogen and inhibits testosterone that’s why blokes take on a female appearance.
Quote…
(ES-truh-jin) A type of hormone made by the body that helps develop and maintain female sex characteristics and the growth of long bones . Estrogens can also be made in the laboratory. They may be used as a type of birth control and to treat symptoms of menopause, menstrual disorders, osteoporosis, and other conditions.
More assumptions with no basis in fact,.
Nothing to suggest they are all vegans nor is that relevant to the protest
You may think the protest is silly - so therefor you think making false assumtions about participants is ok???
I don’t think the ramblings of a grumpy old bloke 8000 miles away is going to cause them loss of sleep…But they are still a bunch of knobs protesting about something they know nothing about.
A more worthy protest would be to have madman Bill Gates sanctioned. Anyone who covers fruit with a plastic coating so it travels well and last longer. And thinks that by producing a massive cloud in space to shield the sun will prevent global warming. And now adding chemicals to animal feed to reduce the methane in their farts and so preventing climate change…among other stuff…I can’t believe that supposedly intelligent people are going along with his crackpot ideas. But most of all, I can’t understand the billions of normal people who have to live on this planet and eat food produced on it, allow the few rich and powerful people to control things that will be reflected in all of our lives.
well on that we agree - what you think will not lose them any sleep.
and a protest isnt unworthy just because other things are also worth protesting about.
and not sure how you think they know nothing about the issue - that seems another assumption.
You seem to have made many assumptions about them, some clearly incorrect - like the free meals claim.
I dont agree or disagree with their cause- but I don’t create ‘facts’ to suit my narrative when I disagree with people.
Why not? Everybody else does…
No they dont.
I try to be objective and not invent ‘facts’ to suit my narrative. As I’ m sure do most people.
Just because you do that dont paint others with the same brush.
Why not?
Recognising your own bias and not letting that cloud your judgement is always a good thing. Otherwise you are not discussing a real,situation, just your incorrectly assumed one.
Also is hypocriticall and prejudiced if we dont apply the same standards to people/ causes/ organisations we dont like as to those we do like
And makes us look silly if we post a presumptive statement like ‘they just want free meals’ without checking first if that is actually so.
It was a big protest - also an approved and permitted protest - the people arrested went too far into the water, out of the permitted zone, or stayed too long after the permitted time
For balance, it must be added there were many more hundreds of the protestors NOT arrested, it was a legal event involving thousands of people.
You are having a laugh aren’t you…
You talk about me making things up…The whole protest is due to false science, propaganda and conspiracy theories made up by the establishment.
And just for the record…
Soy Alert! The Dangerous Truth Of Soy Revealed! 1 Tablespoon Of Soybean Oil Has More Estrogen Than 1 Birth Control Pill. Soybean Oil contains 28,370 ug Estrogen per tablespoon & most Birth Control Pills contain on average 20,000 ug Estradiol Estrogen. 2 Cups Of Soymilk Has The Estrogen Equivalent Of 1 Birth Control Pill. Fast Food Chicken Nuggets & Fries Using Soybean Oil Is The Equivalent In Estrogen To 3 Birth Control Pills. 1 Bottle Of Soy Baby Formula Has The Estrogen Equivalent Of 1 Birth Control Pill. Soy is now ubiquitous in the modern diet. Soy is in 1,000s of foods in the form of soybean oil, soy milk, soy flour, soy lecithin & soy protein. Most people are unaware of how much soy they consume. In small amounts, traditional fermented soy products like miso, tempeh & natto are not harmful. This is how soy is traditionally consumed in Asian countries. The processed form – which is how soy is predominantly consumed in the U.S. is not fermented – it has a toxic effect. Harms of Soy: Hormonal Disruptor…Soy contains plant estrogens as Phytoestrogens which effectively raise your estrogen levels & lowers testosterone. Causes Hypothyroid…Soy contains high levels of goitrogens which inhibit the thyroid’s ability to utilize iodine correctly & leads to hypothyroid. Lectins…Alters Leptin sensitivity which leads to Insulin Resistance & Metabolic Syndrome/Obesity. Cancer…High intake of Soy increases Breast & Prostate Cancer. Phytic Acid…Blocks absorption of Zinc, Calcium, Iron & Magnesium. And also causes allergy response to IGG. Gut Microbiome…GMO & Pesticides harm the GI Tract & leak to malabsorption syndrome. Heavy Metals…Soybeans contain high levels of Lead, Nickel & Cadmium. These cause behavior & neurological harms in both children & adults. 22 Soy Studies Showing Harmful Diseases https://westonaprice.org/health-topics/soy-studies-2015-2023/#gsc.tab=0… Soy Is Not A Health Food https://healthybabycode.com/5-myths-about-pregnancy-nutrition-4-soy-is-a-healthy-alternative-to-meat-dairy… Soy Studies On Harmful Effects & Illness https://westonaprice.org/health-topics-category/soy-alert/#gsc.tab=0… Video Speaker: Dr Tyler Kruse
Does this mean that 2 cups of Soy milk are a female contraceptive? Or is this another of those “margarine is one molecule away from plastic” looney scare campaigns?

be that as it may - I’m not arguing for or against the cause
My point is that we need to not make up our own ‘facts’ or let our opinion about the cause cloud our judgement about the motives or the actions of the participants.
not having a laugh - totally serious about trying to be objective and not let our bias cloud our judgement
this also isnt about vegan diets - start another thread if yo u want t o discuss that.
You’ll not be saying that when you grow tits and have an overwhelming desire to dress up as a woman Bruce…
What! Where did you get that picture of me from?

Call me odd, but sometimes I find blokes dressed up as women more sexy than some women…
