On the subject of posh eco-loons:
‘The actress Emma Thompson joined Extinction Rebellion protesters yesterday, shortly after flying in from the US.
Joining the barricade at Marble Arch in central London, the Oscar-winner raised a fist as she made a rallying call for more people to join the protests and occupy central London.
Thompson was photographed on Wednesday afternoon arriving at Heathrow after flying from Los Angeles. She appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is filmed in California, last Friday and celebrated her 60th birthday on Monday.
The Extinction Rebellion group, which is calling for flights to be used only in emergencies, said that her flight was an “unfortunate cost in our bigger battle to save the planet”.
It is estimated that a single flight between Los Angeles and London can run up a three-tonne carbon footprint.
Yesterday the actress, who has a 19-year-old daughter, Gaia Wise, and an adopted son, Tindyebwa Agaba, 32, spoke passionately about protecting the planet for younger generations.
She said: “We will occupy until [politicians] take action because that is the only way we are going to save our planet . . . We have to do this.
“It’s hard, it’s inconvenient for people sometimes, but it’s much more inconvenient to leave a planet that’s so completely destroyed that our grandchildren will be up against things that we cannot even imagine”.’
“Woman preserves her late husband’s tattoos.”
By taking photographs?
“WARNING: This story contains images that some people may find disturbing”
Oh.
The Tim Newman piece:
You can’t be you when you’re codependent, rightists.
Two whole minutes of soul-wrenching art.
The best part was when it ended.
. . . Gaia Wise . . .
Band name.
—Where she can even be her own lead singer, so extra points for efficacy.
Morning, all.
the actress, who has a 19-year-old daughter, Gaia Wise,
Oh dear.
Woman preserves her late husband’s tattoos.
“It rubs the lotion on its skin…”
On the subject of posh eco-loons
See also that other well-heeled Extinction Rebellion booster, Mr George Monbiot, who famously equated air travel with child molestation, while flying around the world to promote his own books. Books on how people – other people, that is – shouldn’t fly, ever, even once a year for overseas holidays.
Like Dame Emma T, I’m guessing he slipped the Eco Pope a tenner.

As I said at the time,
But this is who George is – it’s who they all are. These are the contortions they will perform in the name of piety.
Woman preserves her late husband’s tattoos.
So it was that or taxidermy?
Speaking of Extinction Rebellion.
Why won’t you heathens take them seriously?
Why cats don’t rule the… oh.
But the posh eco-loons get to call themselves “change-makers.” And change-makers are allowed private jets and heated pools and the like because, well, shut up.
Kyle Sherwood, right, from Save My Ink Forever, was responsible for the preservation process.
I must say, the man who peeled the skin off the body looks like a man who enjoys his work.
Today’s words are hose them into the sea.
And in case there was any doubt.
Why won’t you heathens take them seriously?
It is a mystery.
Meanwhile, speaking of loons, a fashion accessory of note.
Everyone who is anyone has one.
Nothing to do with being an ultra high maintenance loon, I’m sure.
When dealing with public order problems from demonstrations, the details of anyone arrested, who claimed to be unemployed, were passed to the local DSS office as voluntarily not making themselves available for employment. Their joy at martyrdom ‘for the greater good’ was tempered by having their benefits cut or cancelled. Then they moaned, and complained, and whinged and, in some cases, cried.
I wonder if the Met are doing something similar with the current lot of eco twits?
ultra high maintenance loon
Too long for a band name, but would make a good album title, especially for the latest fashionable female pop “singer” (aided by autotune), whomever she is today.
Be wary of rogue super-rhesus monkeys. They are making their way to Honduras to join a caravan to the US. Once settled-in, they have a plan to elect members to Congress.
No, yes, no.
Right, it’s a bank holiday and the sun is shining. I’m heading out into the countryside for an hour or two.
Be good. Or at least hide anything incriminating behind the sofa.

[Looks behind sofa] A bunch of old candy wrappers and … soiled prophylactics?? Ewww.
Somebody just needs to grow a pair
Look who’s equating possession of testicles with masculinity.

Let me get this straight. This morning Emma Thompson used Heathrow to get to London from the U.S. so she could support a demo stopping people from using Heathrow.
She writes for the Huffington Post.

Yes. I gather we’re expected to applaud her for this. She’s raising awareness, you see.

Let’s see. Nunchucks… some discarded underwear… and a large bag of what appear to be… teeth.

I think I’ll stick with the turnips, thank you.

It’s odd how women who claim to choose not to have a family cling stubbornly to the word family.

Think global, act local. Emma and George are thinkers, so their reach needs to be global.
I was wondering about Brexit in that context. What the Remainers were warning about as a bad thing – Britain cut off from the global economy, no more cheap consumer goods from China or avocados fresh off the morning plane from Andalusia, a bracing adjustment to a simpler life of tending allotments and riding push-bikes made in Nottingham – would seem to be a good thing in Monbiot terms. But it turns out that Monbiot doesn’t trust the British political system to enforce adequate environmental regulations.
If people are serious about making the great adjustment to a more sustainable, locally-sourced lifestyle, then surely they’re going to have to rely more on their local institutions, to get accustomed again to hammering some sense into their idiot local MP instead of going over his head to Geneva or Brussels. It’s all fun and games when you’re telling the proles to take their holidays in Margate instead of Marbella. But there’s an assumption among the globalist NGO class that their horizons and ambitions and access can remain unconstrained by the localism they want to impose on the little people.
“instead of going over his head to Geneva or Brussels”
But, you see, they can’t do that. It’s the unelected bureaucrats in Geneva or Brussels that are deciding all this.
If you have the locals trying to tell the elite what to do instead of the credentialed class, you’ll have anarchy! Do you want anarchy, huh?
That chair art was so… so… GRIPPING.
I was literally on the edge of my… errr…
I’ll see myself out.
“The actress Emma Thompson joined Extinction Rebellion…”
Or, as I’ve taken to calling it, the Ruperts‘ Rebellion.
As I said the other day in Guido Fawkes’s comments, I’m convinced this is a false-flag operation (with, of course, useful idiots… so many useful idiots). They’ve done more harm to the cause of ecomania in the last week than climate sceptics have in three decades.
“It’s an awful lot of brown.”
Harvest gold, burnt orange, and Cooper Black: instant ’70s. It was a grim time to be alive.
You know, there are some people I just want to slap upside their head.
Harvest gold, burnt orange, and Cooper Black: instant ’70s.
Let’s not forget avocado green.
I knew people who had harvest gold, burnt orange, and avocado green bathrooms. Trippin’…
Cooper was my favourite display typeface for our underground newspaper in high school.
Rattles bag of teeth.
Oh that’s where they went. I will claim them.
For a friend.

As, for instance, the jet setting Norwegian billionaires who underwrote the EAT-Lancet ‘grasshoppers-and-soylent green’ diet advice for The Proles and To Save the Planet – hubby seen here tucking in to a foot-high burger in Las Vegas, where he probably didn’t bicycle to ?
What is the point of being the New Aristocrats if the Deplorable Proles have largely the same stuff you do – abundant calories, adequate clothing and shelter, cars, cheap travel, smartphones and big TVs ? The only real difference being the price point ?
There will be no joy in The Capital of Panem amongst the cosmopolitan elites until there is a clear and obvious underclass of New Serfs – just so everyone knows where they stand in the pecking order.
And globetrotting millionaire actors and Moonbat scribblers are the prophets of the New Ecofeudalism.
Harvest gold, burnt orange, and Cooper Black: instant ‘70s.
As a wee seedling, I remember my parents having a sofa whose colour I can only describe as angry tangerine.
Even then, I think I was aghast.
Emma Thompson used Heathrow to get to London from the U.S. so she could support a demo stopping people from using Heathrow.
‘We must stop others doing even occasionally what I do all the time, and have actually just done, and will happily do again.’ Says the super-woke actress who described one of her own flights to Cannes, by private jet, as “very, very romantic.”
They’ve done more harm to the cause of ecomania in the last week than climate sceptics have in three decades.
As I’m sure I’ve said before, if your idea of piety and activism gravitates by default towards fucking people over – say, obstructing traffic for hours and frustrating thousands of random people, ruining their day, and then exulting in their frustration while feeling enormously self-satisfied – then there’s a very good chance that you’re actually just a cunt.

This is what happens when they stop teaching basic human biology, but they are “ultra realistic”, though an anonymous customer has doubts.

Yes. The traditional sex toy experience. And how do we keep our balance? Tradition!
