I have nothing I can write here that would follow community guidelines
😅 snap
Same
Ditto
The problem with JSO is that protest, whether disruptive or not, needs to bring people to support your cause. Most of their actions alienate people to the cause, and that’s the issue.
You know you could just inconvenience politicians to get media attention instead of getting the everyday person to hate you xx
Precisely!
Read about Just Stop Oil's spring 2024 plans...
not sure you watched the video hun x x
@@IamJacobstanley I did and in my opinion they’re still doing it wrong, they haven’t stopped oil, they’ve just made the idea of campaigning for change negative, now when people think about stopping oil it’s not about the damage oil does it’s about these idiots
Why are we giving people like this a voice?
because they are trying to save our lives.Climate breakdown is causing food shortages now & it isn't going to get better.
Literally answers this question in the video!
@@wondernexus3d482 Cool but they are so majorly wrong and causing way more problems than good. This is not someone that needs a voice on any platform.
People who talk like you are also idiotic. You may not like what people say, but give them the freedom to say it and either prove their concept or make idiots out of themselves either crumbling because their point is not valid or crumbling because smarter people disprove what they say. Public discourse is the way we figure out the right path and silencing people is not.
@@whatevereyewant "people who talk like you are also idiotic" lmao. You type like English is your second language
A lady did die in an ambulance
Every month there are several dozen ambulances and fire engines that have to abort their journey because of parked cars.
@@Simple_Slmonno one’s blocking with cars they get removed or rammed into immediately
@@c0r5eNo they dont, parked cars cause big delays to everybody, but there are many residential roads where wide vehicles like ambulances and fire engines will get completely stuck.
I would have personally appreciated more if he would have evoked the impact that oil/gas have on the environment and just dive into the specifics of their movement and motivations. Never would I have thought that I would hear out a person like this. Lol😂
@@Simple_SlmonThat doesn't excuse the protesters
Glue has oil, as it is basically a plastic polymer.
Yeah, they should use pine tar😂
I think you’ve missed the point, literally one of the first questions he answers this
@@wondernexus3d482 I actually think it's you who has missed the point....I believe that the "Glue has oil" comment above was intended to highlight the utter hypocrisy in the fact that these ignorant twats are using oil based products (glue) to protest against the use of oil. I'd also like to ask him, as an oil protester, how his tie-dye shirt was made? Also, how his printed Kurt Cobain T-shirt was made? I can guarantee they were made with petrochemicals (oil). As is much of the hair-dye the Just Stop Oil protesters seem to use. It's funny how the use of oil is fine when feeding or satisfying ones vanity/narcissism.
I am amazed that comments haven’t been disabled on this video
I guess they've kept them open for arguably 'worse' people.
Why don’t they go and protest in countries like China and Russia who have the highest usage of oil…?
Cos they don't live in those countries & governments care most about what their people say. Also Uk responsible for 150 years of the carbon crap that's up there...
We export most of our emissions to China.
Because they would never be seen from again
Or India who is black on a climate map
0:29 they literaly tried to stop a vegetable oil truck
These people not smart enough to understand they only damage their cause instead of helping it
Same as vegans
True
@@snoox27 Not really, most vegans you speak of just make themselves look stupid and give vegans a bad image, but they do not hurt "veganism" in itself, because many will do it for health benefits etc. The effects are much more tangible (that is why there are so many), but JSO literally makes people hate their cause (which in itself is good). They also give other intelligently led organizations a bad rep...
This man is trying to help the planet which I respect. Yet the approach is doing the opposite of what he’s trying to achieve
Alternatives?
He said the aim is put pressure on politicians. You can tell that's working cos they keep making laws to shut them up.
Electric car's aint it man.... COBALT being mined by kids... and the cars not being able to fully be recycled because of the batteries... find an alternative to fuel's that will run out and plant more trees so the CO2 will get converted back in to oxygen porsche can already make a synthetic fuel in peru with ernegy and wind alone be just need to mass produce that stuff and find a way to filter the co2 out of the air oh wait! trees do that!
@@Jay-cf6dz listen to his words. He want to avoid the ramping up of oil production, not remove oil from existing
@@Jay-cf6dz we have nuclear energy, why live on a smog planet!
Just want to say 2:02 wasn't always the case I've been blocked twice by your lot before and it took members of the public to rip you off the road to let us through
He seems like he's having a jolly old time. Even when kind of addressing the ambulance situation.
He fully addressed it lol
Does he realise all theyre doing is harming their own movement?
1:53 imagine saying that with no shame
His response is BS too - ive seen their blockades - there is not an “ambulance lane”
@@adamj196for real man they don't realize people have to go to work and also if there was a pregnant woman giving birth
Rumor has it someone already died found this video while trying to find the truth.
Just stop oil have declined several invitations to come and interrupt a Millwall game
if youre actually concerned about saving the planet, do the hard work and solve real world issues, instead of trying to cut off the thread that keeps society up and running. "just stop oil" is a wonderful slogan, because it shows just how little the idea is thought through.
We need to phase out fossil fuels
How? What’s your big idea?
Those using the same tactics for LGBT, suffragette, civil rights, and many more issues all faced the same backlash, and they were later show to be right. It works, hell were talking about it right now
@@saturnianrings3920Scotland produces enough renewables through wind to power the whole Uk. The infrastructure is just not there to store it, so it can be done
@@saturnianrings3920not to mention that the UK has consistently allowed other countries to “invest” into that energy and siphon it across the border. Boils down to stupid, short sighted and likely money motivated government decisions
Now there is a QUALITY BELLEND
How can I participate in crowd funding the development of that new oil field though?
Dude is an environmental idealist! He is, on paper at least, not wrong lol ! It’s just not realistic !
Got to get real about climate breakdown... it's here,' there, everywhere causing floods, fires & droughts - totally fucking up our food supplies. It doesn't get much more real than that...
Of course its realistic, saying its not dosent mean anything
The international energy agency have stated that no new oil is required to fully transition to renewables
someone should have asked how the companies can go about the changes rapidly and effectively without greatly affecting society.
You gotta do a follow up interview in 10 years.
The annoying way they protest just makes me care less about their cause and the environment. I would otherwise be on their side.
Fickle priorities 😂
I’d love to know how he traveled to get to this interview and how the lighting in the building is provided the chair he’s sat on the table he is using did is travel from another country and where he brought his clothes does he know how they are produced? Just stop oil is ridiculous you will not get the majority of society onside because you the ridiculous protest have a detrimental impact on us everyday people blocking roads throwing paint on artwork had absolutely no impact on the real issues you just cause more people to turn against you!
I can only imagine the ratio of dislikes!
Well they stopped ambulances getting through in Cambridge…
The climate change is a huge problem for humanity but the way just stop oil is dealing with it doesn't help anything.
He snogged the guy who uses more fossil fuels in one launch than the whole of the United Kingdom in one day.
The important question is why dont they go protest somewhere where it matters.... like the oil offices or country administration offices.... because people dont give a fuck and dont have time to listen...
I’ve got 💯 % respect for this guy “IF” he rode a bicycle to the interview, his clothes were made by himself using only plant based materials, and he as signed a waver for any medical intervention should he find himself in need of emergency care (as those medical machines were not planted!), ohh yeh he’d also obviously be against the ambulance taking him to hospital!. He obviously doesn’t watch tv right??? , and I’m on awe of him sustaining himself by eating nothing from a supermarket… hypocrites the lot of em
Bike? How would he oil the chains?
@@ungenbunyon5548😂👍
Are you ok with mass starvations? But have a fridge full of food, been to a restaurant and paid £40 a head? How about homelessness, have you any extra space in your home, a small area where someone could sleep but walk past a homeless person. I could probably list a dozen thinks that make us all hypocrites. We are all hypocrites but some of us want to live in a better society, with a better environment.
@@Simple_Slmon thats not hypocrisy though, hypocrisy would be when you demand someone to act in a way that you yourself actively do the opposite of. Just stop oil are hypocrits
@@ungenbunyon5548 It is hypocrisy but anyway what is he demanding other people do?
"Would Just Stop Oil Protesters Die For Their Cause?" Well, if they would... let them, I say.
Just stop.
Is he going to compensate everyone he has disrupted?
The ambulance he also avoided
Tbf none of this would be on the news if they weren't doing what they were doing.
That makes it fine.
It kind of was for the last 30 years, all they do is delegitimize other, actual movements. ANd make people hate not only them but their cause.
just wondering, how did he get to this studio? did he drive? did he fly? just curious.
Ayoooo 😂, I thought these guys were snobbish. I’d actually have a drink with this guy. He sounds interesting. His line of work is annoying but I’d def buy him a beer 🤣🤣🤣
I can see that, but I can also see those who were directly impacted and put into crisis mode because of their blocks wanting to give him that beer, in a sealed bottle, over the head
Props to him for showing up. Now stop activism. Find happiness.
Why don’t you protest at house of parliament, where decisions are made??? Instead you disrupt ordinary people that have no say when it comes to these legislation changes???
Been there, done that. You dont know cos the media not interested in those type of protests.
Media are not interested- rightly so. Stop oil?? Should we go back to Middle Ages? No oil means starvation. These people are delusional
Thank you very much James for stepping up to the Honest Box. While I may not always agree with Just Stop Oil's tactics, I always appreciate open discussion. No matter what side of the fence you're on, knowledge is power. I chose many years ago not to turn the other way when it's something I don't agree with, not to have yelling matches or use disgusting words. Right or wrong with their tactics, at least someone is out there trying to make our world a better place. I look forward to a time where ppl on both sides of the fence can work together. 😊
So he protersts only when the law is fairly lax. Now that's commitment!
I mean duh, lol there are other more effective forms of protest
12 minutes of my life I wont get back.
I'm not hanging in that long!
He's fighting for that life of yours...
@@fionaatkinson5277lol nope not at all
@@fionaatkinson5277your in every reply section pls hop off this app for a minute or two
These acts get you to the news and EVERYONE HATES YOU FOR IT!
I like him. I like his message. I dislike the delivery of the message.
Its funny glue your self to the road ever tought about where the glue is made from?? Or your phone for that matter? Bunch of morans if you ask me.
The irony is, ten years from now all the detractors will be asking why nothing was done about the climate crisis...
You can protest the people who have the power to fix things instead of making working class people's day even worse
@@Jack-rp6zy or perhaps they tried that and now its time to bring everyone else kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Whichever mate, just don't complain when your council flat becomes beach front property
As soon as he said he makes roast potatoes with coconut oil I knew what kind of person he was and just turned off. I bet he’s a vegan too. And coconut nut oil roast potatoes are not banging, the smoke point of coconut oil is 180C and a “banging” roast potatoes needs something around the 220 to 250 degree smoke point. But it doesn’t matter, this entire comment is useless, because these people never listen and never ever learn.
Here's my questions - have you ever been wrong? Did you believe Al Gore?
Uhhh he's British not American
Am sorry but why we wasting time watch him am sorry but half the stuff he use and wear has oil he want to stop use am soo confused by these They want to make road blocks which drivers use fuel which they paid for waste by these small mind people
Strange people these lot. By all means protest but protest at home and out of the way of me and others x
Protest at home. LOL
I don't think you know what a protest is.
You did a brilliant job fella I didn’want to think it but you’re quite a likeable lad. Still a bloody vegan but likeable lol
He seems very intelligent, and I believe history will remember him kindly
Agreed! 😂❤
Welp... These comments are gonna be fun 🍿
Get a job get a shower
Does he drive? Petrol is made from oil
Yeah no shit Sherlock.
@@dertypderhalt I was being sarcastic!
@@samgeller1967 Hard to tell these days on the internet.
The comments on this video are just proving this guy right
12 minutes of someone explaining away their shitty actions; they are just misunderstood, bah!. Yeah we need to hear what really goes on in their heads, its not like they are shy about expressing their feelings.
Says he'd die for the cause but doesn't clue himself to the roads anymore because the penalties have become a bit harsher....he's a full of s#!t
nobody wants to listen to these people
The point is irrelevant if everyone doesn’t like the person and/or their actions. They very well may oppose you just out of spite.
What an absolute genious the person who asked this guy if he has children. He basically said that keeping your children safe and doing the best for them to live in this world is way more important than any other cause that he could be fighting for, so by basically blocking the roads of everyone including families or kids that may be going to school or parents that need to get to their work in order to maintain their children that is basically hurting children indirectly. Therefore you basically condoning the violence of the people against your actions, cus you'll do exactly the same when facing that same situation. There you have it, your whole idea destroyed by yourself mr protester.
Hi, my name is James Skeet, and im a waste of space.
As an African who’s used to insane temperatures, and doesn’t live by a coast, I don’t have much insensitive to stop oil.
You do realise that with 3 degrees increase areas like the one you live in now, will become uninhabitable right? "Used to insane temperatures", sure but probably not 60+ on a regular basis and no water supply whatsoever.
@@JaegerDreadful yeah, that I’m used too, and our architecture is heat reflecting. We either suffer and wait for better alternatives, which the west will get first, or carry on like always
"Just stop oil" is stupid. But your comment is so arrogant, ignorant and stupid, that you make JSO sound like Mensa.
Just Stop Oil are stupid. But your comment is so ignorant, arrogant, uninformed and plain stupid, that you make JSO look like Mensa. Literally spend 3 minutes on google looking up how climate actually works on a global level.
@@JaegerDreadfulgo to a place called mombassa you just described the daily temperature and none of the people there use sunscreen and they’re fit as a fiddle. They are dark as fuck though
Your (JSO) idiocy overshadows your advocacy.
Um pretty sure he’s wearing clothing 🤔 probably including shoes, does he use a cell phone or ride on anything other than his own two feet ? Kind of hypocritical. He probably couldn’t make it as a singer/actor or on social media, so this is the next best thing to get on a screen. This is a sad case of people living in their own little fantasy world instead of doing things to make a change. Like make a movement that boycotts anything made with oil, don’t wear clothing unless you made it from leaves, communicate by conch shell, things like that. 😂
are you dumb?
this what a an npc meme looks like in real life
Keep up the good work
One thing, no matter how annoyed we are with them it is hugely important to have an open mind to see thing from their pov and being open for change our stand points. This is what we are missing. Being open for civilized debate. By we I mean including JSO people
They're correct in terms of their demands and the reasoning. They're COMPLETELY wrong for disrupting the lives of regular people
no thank you
Interesting to see there side of the story but I’ll stick with my v8 buds
Why don’t you protest in India or china as there CO2 is greater?
Who funds you?
Without them even saying so, you could meet this person and immediately guess that they were JSO protester.
The comments on this channel are always so nuanced, it's amazing!
He looks soppy, he has to look after the oil because let’s face it, it can’t look after himself. Tries that BS in the wrong manor he’ll get ironed out
I enjoyed this one! Protests are supposed to be disruptive.
Just stop ‘just stop oil’ all life is carbon based no?
Oh Ladbibletv I enjoyed your content until very recently with this video and giving young children Prime energy drinks.
Anti-apartheid😂😂😂. What's next armed rebellion?!
I would agree with him on his statement that " we are all hypocrites in some sense" it is true. Humans and organisms in general care about themselves and their interest first so even the principals that we stand with and live for might be broken in almost everyday. Ex: you love dogs and u do not want to see animals being slaughtered but u would pay a good price for a meal with meat in it. It's just what it is. Not something bad not something good just it is.
So you give then even more airtime? Boooo
"We the tax payer." Go on then, how much tax did you pay?
I find the acts of just stop oil to be justified
Thumbs down for this one
Super interesting video! I think the public response to Just Stop Oil and the comments on this very video are proof to two vital things: 1. That society is so hugely disconnected from the immense scale of the climate crisis that its nearly impossible to comprehend the acts that JSO does. If you cannot comprehend that every year there are 21 million climate refugees you will never understand how small disrupting a tennis match is in comparison to human lives. 2. That the media has society just where it wants it - polarised and turning on people instead of the legislation. As with all activism, I imagine JSO does work behind the scenes, writing to MPs and directing its energy directly at the government, oil, investors and oil companies. But you don't see it in the media.
4:43 wildfires are normal and happen every year here in Canada, and irrc the ones that i think he was referring to was either because of some cigarette or campfire that someone didn't put out, climate change definitely wasn't the cause of that but it does make things quiet bit a worse.
Yet all the data collected and peer reviewed papers state they they happen more often and are getting more severe because of man made global warming, its almost like you dont know what you are talking about.
Our forests in Canada have natural burn cycles they have evolved to burn down and start over
@@ninjaclown2081Lol thats a pretty daft statement, forests dont evolve, what has happened is the trees and plants have evolved to cope with the fires, they would be much more successful if the didnt regularly get burnt down, unfortunately many animals will be be maimed or burnt to death and many plants will burn and not recover. If the hotter temperatures caused by global warming cause the forest to burn down too often then that is the end of that forest.
WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS !!!
i understand english fluently for a non-european person but everything he says is nothing but gibberish to me. i understand fast-paced casual arabic way better than this dude’s blathering
Someone did die from your protests negligence from blocking an ambulance
You lost me at destroying art. But thank you for your time.
Came here just to dislike the video. Lad bible will realise this just isn’t it if everyone does the same.
I really like this, he seemed honest and likeable and I hate all the myths around Just Stop Oil. We have to stop forgetting that these people are trying to act out to limit the millions of deaths that have begun being lost from the climate crisis. Let's not lose perspective of that next time we see them on a football pitch! Mad respect to all of them!
Caring about the planet is great but the way they are doing it is so stupid and annoying
Wouldn’t have kids 😂
Is he so ignorant? Cooking oil is something everyone knows.
Stfu I’m a wealthy man bc of oil
Daring to have a man like this on the show, i respect that
Lmao
Boy is he on message or what!?
“Would you die for your cause?” All the massively important movements he listed they would all answer “yes” without hesitation. When he is asked its this “…..ummm”
You should be ashamed of yourselves ladbible
