Apparently, this is a common thing in the U.K.
I posted a few weeks ago about a climate change activist gluing herself to the ground in front of an oil company building. Not to be outdone, members of a group called “Extinction Rebellion” decided to glue themselves together in front of the London Stock Exchange because reasons.

Because these nutjobs believe that they must destroy the economy in order to bend the government to their unrealistic, nonsensical demands over global warming. That’s not me exaggerating for effect. That’s actually their plan.

Look, I guess I can respect these people’s passion, even though I think they are misguided at best and completely ill informed at worst, but come on. Gluing yourself together to block the entrance to the stock exchange? How does that result anything but sores and jail time? It’s not like the stock exchange is even a monolithic being to bring pressure upon. It’s thousands of different companies based in other places.
This kind of silliness is what happens in an age of increasing secularism. People are so desperate for meaning that they’ll latch onto absolutely anything to champion, no matter how nonsensical and ineffective their actions are. Even if global warming were a coming catastrophe, it’s an impossibility that humans could somehow reverse it with behavioral changes. Too many people would die from the reduction in emissions, especially in poorer countries. The world is too vast and governments are too diverse to organize such an effort anyway.
While I don’t subscribe to their doomsday theories, if I did, here’s my advice. Rather than protests and fun with glue, these people should be working toward technological advances that allow future adaptation. That’s the only realistic answer to the problem they swear is so imminently destructive.
Instead, they want to destroy the economy, negating the ability to produce those technological advances. Makes sense.
Anyway, the group doing the gluing are dumber than a bunch of glue sniffers.

Put a sheet over them and leave them there
I thought about that. Building a wooden walkway over them.
Please tell that to AOC and her Leftist fellow travelers. Thanks.
I saw a pic of the one chick who glued her boobs to the street.
You only see her back, but it’s a back Buffalo Bill would like...
so they plan to keep this up until the Government caves and gives them the power to stop Global Warming ? LOL
I’m sure it’s an all natural glue,one made from tree sap and chicken dung...not one of the ones holding the world together today * smiles*
I’m not sure I know what you mean by a back Buffalo Bill would like, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to look.

The problem is AOC and her Leftist fellow travelers don’t give a sh*t about poor people, only power.
The guy who was skinning girls in the movie Silence of the Lambs. He liked size 14’s...
I hope they are using super glue!
“members of a group called “Extinction Rebellion” decided to glue themselves together”
Pull them apart real fast.
😜
Maybe they can jump in the Thames together, too.
Of course climate change is real. How does anyone think the last ice age ended? What is not real is MAN MADE climate change.
Earth’s climate is affected by cyclical nature of our SUN which is a million times bigger than the puny earth. And man is puny compared to earth. Just 100 miles up in orbit, no man made object is even clearly visible. Except perhaps the Great Wall of China is a barely discernible squiggly line. 100 miles up is not a huge distance up considering earth’s diameter is 8000 miles.

All the gonad-less authorities needed to do was to leave her alone and not hide her or un-stick her.
Eventually she would have peed and defected herself and that would have cured her and the bystanders.

First day with the jar
You find
Everyone lies
First day with the jar
You find
Everyone lies, nobody minds
Everyone lies
Where is the man you respect?
And where is the woman you love?
Where’s the woman you love?
Third week with the jar
You find
Everything dies
We won’t vote Conservative
Because we never have
Everyone lies, everyone lies
Where is the man you respect?
And where is the woman you love?
Where’s the woman you love?
Everything of worth
On Earth
Is there
To share
I used to dream, and I used to vow
I wouldn’t dream of it now
We look to Los Angeles
For the language we use
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
Now I’m too much in love
I’m too much in love
I know
I’ll go
Empty hand
From the land
