Our Betters At Large

[Weatherman2020]

Climate change activists chained themselves to the wrong building in the City of London after failing to realise the fossil fuel company they wanted to disrupt had moved address last year.

The protestors’ chanted demands include “No borders, no nations, no gas power stations.”

And yes, there is a punchline:

The group of 200 protesters instead brought chaos to the entrance of a building which houses the offices of a leading renewable energy company.

200 Protesters and nobody checked google maps on their phone.

In 2005, a group of Greenpeace Protesters attempted to disrupt trading on the International Petroleum Exchange in London.

The protesters, having no knowledge of the markets, didn't realize that floor trader aren't upper-class, university-educated pushovers. Many of them come from the working classes and were raised on the rugby pitches of East London. Another factor they overlooked is the tradition in the British Financial Markets of 'knocking back' a few pints at lunch, leaving the traders coming back in the afternoon already half in the bag.

Here is a brief recount of the attempt...

The trespassers were set upon by traders, most of whom were under the age of 25. “They were kicking and punching men and women,” said a photographer, according to The Times of London. “It was really ugly. … They followed the [Greenpeace] guys into the lobby and kept kicking and punching them there. They literally kicked them on to the pavement.”


“The violence was instant,” reported one aggrieved recipient of a rain of blows to the head. “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”


“Sod off, Swampy!” shouted one tardy trader, steadying himself against the railings of the balcony of the pub across the street as his colleagues threw the protesters bodily onto the sidewalk. (Swampy was an enviro-protester who gained fame by living unbathed in a tunnel for eight months.)


A few of the protesters were hospitalized with their injuries.

Excellent
One would think people chained to a location would make easy targets.

Smart leftist is an oxymoron. The dumb ones are just morons.

Friend was on the Enterprise when the Green Peace ship tried to block. As the Green Peace ship came alongside every firehouse on the Enterprise was aimed down the smokestack. About a million gallons of sea water inside their engine they drifted away harmlessly.

You've Got A Friend In Pennsylvania

'Even when modified, Quaker principles were radical enough to be unique in the colonies. Nowhere was this uniqueness more outstanding than in military affairs and in their treatment of the Indians. William Penn had from the beginning set the pattern of peace and justice to the Indians, and scrupulously purchased Indian land claims even when the claims themselves were dubious. Pursuing a policy of peace, incomprehensible to most of the other colonists, who were generally conscienceless in slaughtering the Indians, the Quakers of Pennsylvania built no forts, established no militia, and hired no scouts or Indian fighters. And by pursuing a policy of peace and no armaments, they found, mirabile dictu, that they had nothing to fear. They had earned and gained the lasting respect of the Indians, and fair play met with fair play in its turn. As in New Jersey, where Quakers were influential in shaping Indian policy, there was no Indian war in the history of the colony so long as Quakers ruled.'
(Rothbard, MN Conceived in Liberty, pp. 557-8)
