UK Climate Change Activist Detained En Route To Copenhagen Summit Protests

pathetic.
Maybe, but not as pathetic as constantly "taking part" in debates just to insult posters who you perceive to have different opinions to yourself, without actually commenting on the topic of that debate. This is becoming quite a bad habit of yours I see.

All I have said on this thread is that it is odd that this individual was stopped by the police, and that therefore there is a possibility (you know what that word means, right?) that there is something on his record that we are not aware of. That's all.

But for some reason you've managed to interpret that as me saying 'he definitely has a criminal record and was right to be stopped by the police'...
 
1)Maybe. They "arranged" a new seat with the coach company, so maybe no money changed hands.
2)The coaches would run anyway so non outrage.
3)Meh. It's outrageous. :mad:


:D

What, that a bloke who has a history of gluing himself to things might be some way impeded from going where he likes when he likes;)

Urmm, actually yes. Unless you consider it an act of terrorism, do you?
 
an abuse of terrorism powers it may be, and a useful flag up for eco activists heading to Denmark, but freedom of movement for glue protestors seems an oxy moron to me

It doesn't have to be terrorism tho, does it? The terrorism act, as every single person in this forum is more than well aware of, merely gives the authorities certain extra powers, powers that are not always (not usually in fact) exercised in relation to "actual" terrorism...

I have pulled you up on your comments, which you later informed readers was in fact sarcasm - get over it.

:facepalm:
For fucks sake that is the point. This is yet another example of the ant-terror laws being used in cases that are not terrorism related! That is what is wrong with this case.

Is English your first language? (Serious question)

You haven't "pulled me up" about anything. You've seem me post something that you have interpreted wrongly and instead of even responding to that incorrect interpretation you just waded in with the insults. You do it all the time, no debate just insult.

And again, you seem to think that in a previous reply to you I've "admitted" that my earlier comments were supposed to be sarcastic, yet anyone who has even a basic understanding of English could never come to that conclusion.

BTW, are you actually going to comment on the topic of this thread? Because so far you've not made a single comment in relation to the OP, all you've done (as usual) is throw around insults (it's ok, I understand why you do it tho)

I was just pointing out a fact, I offered no personal opinion on that fact, did I?

And FYI the powers in the terrorism act aren't just intended for Muslims and the Irish, are they? They are intended for use against all organisations and individuals that might take part in political violence in order to pursue a political objective, and that includes environmentalists/animal rights activists as much as it includes the more traditional forms of terrorism.

And, before you or anyone else wades in with more insults, I'm just pointing out another fact relating to these laws and who their intended targets are. I am in no way saying that the individual who is the topic of debate IS a terrorist or even COULD BE a terrorist. And it's also a sad reflection of the way this forum has gone lately with all the insults instead of debate that I even have to put a "disclaimer" like this on the end of a post (but I can guarantee that at least one person will take exception to this post, more than likely expressed with insults...)
 
Your posts on this thread strongly imply that you support this bloke being prevented from traveling, if you don't believe that why have you been posting what you posting?

As for being insulted mabe you should try and be a bit less patronizing in your posts. Comments like

Although I would suggest you get over your victim complex as I would like you to point out where I insulted you previously, as for fucks sake is a gesture of frustration and not really an insult.

Since you are expecting one though I'll just say that I really shouldn't be wasting my time with morons like you. I hope you feel vindicated now.

I was speculating as to why he had been stopped, and as part of that speculation I said there might be a possibility that gluing himself to a statue might not be the only thing on his record that made him stand out (as it turns out it appears he was one of the people charged with aggravated trespass on that power station so that was probably the reason). I don't particularly see anything controversial in asking the question of why he was stopped, do you?

And the reason I ask such questions, if only to myself, is to decide whether or not, as you point out above, I should agree with the decision to stop him. As the police merely questioned him then arranged for him to carry on to Copenhagen (so every single headline claiming this man was "stopped" from travelling is incorrect for a start!) then I see no reason to support preventing him from travelling as the police obviously know the facts, while the rest of us are left to speculate. Whether it was right for him to be detained (rather than prevented from travelling) I don't know, and neither do you, because none of us know the facts surrounding his detention.

Since you are expecting one though I'll just say that I really shouldn't be wasting my time with morons like you. I hope you feel vindicated now.
:D Good boy!

But you misunderstand my comments about people using insults!

I certainly do not feel like a victim in this forum! People who post here are just people off the internet who I will never meet in "real" life (if I did tho I'm sure we'd get on fine, but behind the keyboard a completely different side of our personalities comes out). So being insulted doesn't upset me, I find it quite funny actually.

The reason I mention about the insults is because it usually suggests the person using the insult has conceded defeat in whatever argument/debate they are having but don't have the bollocks to say so. The insults are usually the result of frustration from the poster about either being pwned in an argument or because they are simply incapable of coming up with a valid response to someone else's argument (altho a lot of people just have history and don't like each other!). Some people are just naturally horrible or they simply have poor social skills.

However, what I think is the most tragic are those people who insult from the start without even attempting to have a go at taking part in the debate/argument...
