War Extinction Rebellion demand Cambridge City Council hand over power to their "citizen's assembly" on pain of clogging up the city - All hail the Supreme Soviet!

https://order-order.com/2020/02/12/extinction-rebellion-launch-coup-cambridge/

Extinction Rebellion is threatening to “bring [Cambridge] to a halt” unless the city’s elected politicians hand over “significant decision-making powers and a binding mandate” to an unelected “citizens’ assembly”. Guido is pretty sure there is a word for people who use threaten people’s way of life to achieve political ends…

The rigged ‘citizens assembly‘ Extinction Rebellion is demanding would “exclude those who directly profit from the exploitation of workers, the Global South, or natural resources.” This would replace the functions of the elected city council. Extinction Rebellion would do well to realise there are local elections in just a few months time. It seems they’ve decided that launching a coup is easier than winning an election…

Cambridge City Council
must hold a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate Justice.
Disadvantaged and marginalised communities will experience the effects of the climate crisis most severely. For example, World Health Organisation research shows that women, children, socially isolated people and the elderly are affected more severely by climate-related food insecurity. Any attempt to address the climate crisis must seek to bring justice to these communities.
The current democratic system has failed to deliver this. We need a radically inclusive form of democracy. We must place decision-making power into the hands of those who have been pushed aside by the system. In response to Extinction Rebellion’s third national demand councils across the country have introduced Citizens’ Assemblies. However, since they are only advisory they lack any power to bring about change.
To meet this demand, the City Council must:

• Establish a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate Justice.
• Ensure that marginalised groups are well represented in the Assembly. This must include those without citizenship status in the UK.
• Ensure that the expert panel includes:
  • Climate scientists
  • Health professionals
  • Experts on decolonisation and climate justice
  • People who have lived on the front lines of the climate crisis
• Exclude from the panel those who directly profit from the exploitation of workers, the Global South, or natural resources.
• Ensure that the Citizens’ Assembly has significant decision-making powers and a binding mandate.
• Act urgently on the decisions of the Citizens’ Assembly.

Of course it's not just about the climate. It's about ensuring the RIGHT people have the decision, i.e. people they control, and people who can be replaced or sidestepped if they don't do as the XR leadership says.

The worrying thing is, since Cambridge is a city infested by students and Liberal Democrats, it would not surprise me if they bent the knee to this.

Had to double-check, this is Cambridge in the UK, not Cambridge, MA. (Although this kind of thing would not be out of place in the latter!)

Speaking of, here's your dashing revolutionary leading the charge:

I like how they said they need to radicalized democracy by instituting and entirely undemocratic unelected council.

Fucking cucks in the UK aren't going to tell them to sod off...

Once it affects everyday life negatively the average Brit will fight back with a vengeance.

Canning Town was just a taste.

Relevent footage of when extinction rebellion shut down a bunch of electric trains to protest fossil fuels....yeah....at rush hour in London.

Witness the wonderful sight of huwyte anglos, niggos, kebabs, slants and everything in between unifying as one and physically climing atop the trains, dragging down, and beating the shit out of a bunch of sanctimonious middle class cunts who were delaying their ride home after a day spent working for a living

Oh I'm sorry they've confused democracy with communism. Totally easy mistake.

The climate cult isn't going to stop until people see how dangerous it really is. It's not about gleaming new Teslas (that you probably can't afford) or airhead celebrities offsetting their private jets, or banning plastic straws. It's about a gay Current Year recreation of medieval serfdom, where the masses are permanently priced out of things we take for granted now, like personal transportation, eating meat, reliable electricity supplies, and being able to fly on planes.

You got that right. I saw the XR book in my friendly local bookshop a couple weeks back, where they'd put it and loads of other "we gotta save the planet by going full sackcloth and ashes u guise" turd-tomes on a special display. I had a look through it. The foreword was written by Vandana Shiva. Yes. That Vandana Shiva. The godawful fraud with the bindi the size of a radar dish who charges $40,000 to put in an appearance, flies about on private jets, and screeches constantly about how GMOs are the Antichrist and the agricultural industry is a giant plot to depopulate India and that using chemical fertilisers is equivalent to rape.

(Do we have a thread on her? We should, methinks.)

Once again the fucking greens show their true colors. This time though, instead of harassing proletarian chuds trying to get on the train (which I thought were greener than driving?), they've picked a town full of upper class fart huffers who will probably find their eco-soviet absolutely smashing!

Sadly, that's a photoshop, but the face is real. He is called Robin Boardman-Pattinson and when he's not acting like (P)Rik from The Young Ones, he's storming off interviews because he doesn't like being held to account, and flying first class to Verbier or Klosters or wherever for ski trips. All the while lecturing you as to why you mustn't fly because you're just a smelly peasant.

Ah, this is one of those occasion where an angry farmer with a muck sprayer could sort the whole mess in a matter of minutes.

Unfortunately not. Cambridge's city centre is too narrow and clogged to deploy one of those. And the legendary David Cannon died in 2005.

It just occurred to me that this is the solution to all ethnic and racial tensions. Kick a Hippie Day.

Now where's my Nobel Peace Prize, bitches.

Still, since it's XR, expect monged dancing and stupid fucking performance art.

Wait, is the logic behind this as Freudian as I think it is? That planting crops is causing the soil to "conceive" these plants and is therefore basically sex?

 

[LetThemEatCake]

I would enjoy seeing Boardman-Pattinson (oh, the posh executive level parent, independent school sector stink of that name - I'm getting fed up with the private sector as all they seem to produce is insufferably earnest champagne-communists anymore) yeeted off a train or bus roof by a raging London mob. Is he the type to actually join in with the frolics or does he just do the media gobshitery between expensive ski holidays in France?

ER did lose their filthy luvvie 'scientist' white-dreadlocked jetsetter Raphael Coleman this week though. He was their social media editor between diving holidays in Thailand and patronising black people in South Africa, where he rather hilariously cacked it without even being a victim of the crime wave there. Bit useless of him, really. Let's hope there's someone with the same level of committment and ability to waste a science degree in the wings ready to take over his social media role.

 

[SmileyTimeDayCare]

Just shoot them. Eventually they'll fuck off or you'll kill enough of them to reduce humanity's carbon footprint.

That's what we call a win/win.

 

[Syikeblade]

Srsly, I hope they give in to these freaks.

Cambridge could be a good lesson for everyone else.

Socialist hiding behind environmentalism is nothing new either.

I think it's just your basic Maoist fetishization of the illiterate pre-industrial peasant subsistence farmer.

Considering that Vandana Shiva also enjoys fanboying Indians (as in Native Americans), probably. She's well upholstered enough though that "nasty, brutish, and short" is a concept totally alien to her.

They could harken back to the precident set by Richard number two for some ideas on how to address their demands.

 

[LetThemEatCake]

So I was curious enough about Ms. Shiva to google her.

Well, Piglet, you weren't wrong about the Sky dish on her forehead:



And after this I read no further:



Fuck this luddite idiot.

Is that Robert Boardman Patterson? Isn't he that champagne socialist who goes on lovely holidays constantly and noped out of an interview when he was confronted we a sturdy interviewer? He looks like he eats vegan steaks and swigs soy daily.

 

[Sable]

Cmon' Miss Patel! Sing the song of your people and summon them to lubricate the streets with spicy curry! They can't block a sewer!

I know this is a literal shitpost. but she's a fairly hardline Home Secretary that idolizes Thatcher, and these are commie protesters- it's likely only bad optics and how ineffectual these unwashed commies are that keep her from sending in mounted police to murder them.

Thats because its a class issue, Its overwhelmingly the middle classess that have the fucking nerve to interrupt the the daily grind that everyday people have do in the name of "progress" hence you get moments like this. Black or white, people just trying to get by really aren't the mood for some cunt telling them what to do with their lives when they have the luxary to have a day off and decide to waste everyone elses time with it.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Sounds like treason to me, to the tower with them.

Or the army dressed as mounted police.

Allegedly.

I would likely build a temporary shrine to Ms. Patel if she were to go Kali Ma on these embarrassing white malcontents. I would also like to see the usual fuming from the left when a woman/ethnic behaves in a manner they cannot understand because intersectional theory.

Those water cannons that Boris bought during his tenure as Mayor of London - promptly sold on for fuck-all by incumbent Sadiq Khunt, would have been perfect for dealing with ER whenever they block a city centre. Hose the fuckers off the pavements and roads give them a needed bath to stop them smelling up the jail cells. Maybe they could add some cheap shower gel to the water tanks.
