Imprisoned Insulate Britain Protester Raises Crowdfunder To Pay Rent

Post by Asian Boss »

Isabel Rock, sister of Insulate Britain protester Oliver Rock, has launched a Crowdfunder petition to help pay his rent while he’s in jail.

Oliver, 41, was one of nine protesters jailed on Wednesday, November 17 after they broke an injunction banning them from protesting on the M25.

I'm glad to see he's being supported with donations. I think all the media attention has really helped.

Change is always challenging. History will look kindly on them all. Even if the toxic elderly and Daily Mail readers do not.

I've told you before, I;m a poisonous pensioner, not toxic elderly. Don't you ever read the responses to your trolling? :roll:

Stinky bait!

As a aside, if you and were PM and felt so inclined, how would you actually make their demands happen?

I still think the answer is to pour piss on them while they're glued to the road

I had a look at said page then decided that if the level of grammar and spelling on it is indicative of this planet's overall IQ, then frankly it deserves to go to Hell in a hand cart....

I did give something. It wasn't much as I'm out of work and have two kids. Buy those gyes are an inspiration. :thumbup:

Personally I wouldn't send them to prison, they'd be in a labour camp fixing pot holes.

You seem to be trying exceptionally hard to be mediocre, you can't pay much, you can't protest much, no job, lumbered with t'bairns.
It's all shades of grey really. Is there much you can do?
Subtle satire. ;)

Terry Pratchett's 'put mime artists in an airtight perspex cube' was more inventive.

So you'd put the people who are currently in jail for blocking roads whilst being uncomfortable to a position where they can block roads while sitting down eating pies and reading the paper?
