More deliberate, malicious, illegal vandalism that you no doubt find
completely acceptable behaviour because its a cause you favour.
Personally I cant wait until we make promoting/condoning ART is just
as serious an offence as promoting more conventional terrorism. I'll

I disagree. Many of the motorists here take delight in the problems
faced by peds and cyclists on our roads as well as the heavy prison
sentences handed doiwn to ARAs and they also want old people to die
quickly.

Obviously you didn't read the comments section where the action was
condemmed by almost all of the contributors.

More gloating over damage to other people's property. Land-Rovers in that
part of the world are used as tools by famers and others, not for posing
round town.

If these people are so against pollution why are they making the problem
worse? All that paint stripper will get washed into the drains where it will
end up in the rivers poisoning wildlife. The dealer will claim off the
insurance and repaint the vehicles, so leading to more pollution. Of course
the paint will need to be delivered so that's more vehicle miles than is
needed.

The electricity to power the spraying equipment needs to be generated which
is more pollution.

The police and local authority will possibly end up installing security
cameras, more intrusion plus the pollution needed to make and transport the
equipment plus the pollution from the engineers who install and set it up.

Was this really such a sensible idea?

Ooops, nearly forgot. When the perpetrators get caught they'll get banged
up. How much campaigning can they do from a prison cell? And for what? Doing
something that will have caused more pollution than they started with and
made themselves look total cunts.

What a bunch of sad, pathetic tossers.

There are times when the messenger should be, if not be killed at least
locked out of harms way.

Extra marks will be given for discussing the environmental costs of
throwing paint-stripper around and repairing the vehicles.

Fuck that. I don't want to be dying for any longer than I have to be.

When it's time to go, I want to go to bed one night, feeling fine, and just
not wake up.

Don't confuse "soon" and "slowly".

Stupid Enviroloonies again.

Hereford is in a rural area. Land Rovers there tend to be bought by
people who actually use them offroad such as all the farmers in the
locality.

There's certainly one well known bunch of people based in that area who
find 4x4s useful. It would be interesting to see the nutters getting

OK. In a fairer world, where political protesters were not subject to
such draconian laws, I would weigh the damage caused to the paintwork
and its envrionmental consequences against the damage caused by the
4x4 during its manufacture, lifetime and disposal.

Sounds sensible. So, just to be sure I'm not misunderstanding you, you
would only prosecute protesters who caused damage against something
that had no environmental impact? So, for example, a 'protester' who
blew up a Hummer dealership would have no fear of prosecution because
his bomb 'only' killed a few people whereas the Hummers if they'd got
into the publics hands could have killed far more? Thats your idea of
a "fairer world"?
On the basis that a brand new bus slings out carbon monoxide
throughout its lifetime, protesters should slash its tyres, right? Or
is your "fairer world" treating commercial vehicles differently to
private ones?
I'm sorry to be so dense, but I'm genuinely trying to get a handle on
your stance here. At the moment, I can only imagine that you post here
for no other reason at all, absolutely none, other than to
deliberately attempt to inflame others by maintaining standpoints that
are utterly bonkers.

Nope. Stop exaggerating. Spoiling a bit of paintwork is relatively
innocuous. It only harms the image and the pocket. I realise that
image is all important to urban 4x4 users but that is their problem.
Farmers with muddy 4x4s probably wouldn't give a damn.

You still don't get it do you, or pretend not to. I am opposed to the
harm caused by the mass car culture in general and the domination of
this *transport* NG by motorists in particular.

And in an even fairer world, if wasn't for the draconian laws relating
to mercy killing, someone might, hopefully, weigh the damage caused to
the environment by your birth, nurturing and ongoing life.

I suppose you could get your brain wired back into your system?

Well seeing as motoring is the most widely used mode of transport by a
massive amount, it's going to be the most discussed.

How are the two related, the thing is already manufactured, you
pouring paint on it will not stop it being manufactured nor will it be
necessary to manufacture another to replace it the only thing it will
do is create some employment and additional pollution, there is no
trade off that you can 'weigh'.

But as an employment generation scheme it has some merits, you are
making work for inspectors and clerks in the insurance industry,
workers in the motor trade, sales of industrial paints and chemicals,
work for the police then later the judicial syastm and finally the
prison service, I failed to mention the probation and after care
services and any newspaper or journalist interest.
no doubt there are more who will benefit directly or indirectly. Here
is one I've just thought of, ongoing employment for clerks in the dole/
benefits offices and social services.

Yes - I thought ruin was a strange word - I always thought they were tougher
than that.
PS Anyone got a link to a copy of all those 1970s articles warning us about
global cooling?

Mr Gore (ex US vice-president) in his film on global warming was a little
biased - he stated there is a relationship between global warming and CO2 -
he forgot to say that if you don't just look at the last 25years but the
last 10,000 there is actually an INVERSE link between them and the "since
records began" for a lot of the GW figures are from the 1800s a time we had
very cold weather, If one goes back a couple more 100s of Years we had
vineyards in't north and I cannot be sure and I know the old Land Rover
design is ancient but I think in the 1500s we didn't produce Defenders

I'm *not* exaggerating. Or at least, I'm not trying to. I'm merely
trying to understand your point of view. It *seemed* to me that you
thought people who deliberately damage 4x4's are innocent of any real
crime. If I'm wrong on that and thats *not* what you meant, then I

Yes, I fully 'get' that you are opposed to 4x4 owners (fuck knows why,
since you used to be one). What I'm not sure about is whether or not
you advocate smashing up someones car because you think they shouldn't
have it. Please do let me know what your feelings are on this

The Hereford Land Rover dealer is actually out in the sticks, around 3 miles
from Hereford, on the road to Worcester.

I wonder how the ecowankers got to the site, hmm? Care to comment Doug?

Paint stripper is an extremely toxic chemical. If this people pour it
on cars, and then it rains, the stripper will get washed into the
rivers killing fishes and the like.

The cost to the envoirnment to repair and sell these cars will also be
huge. (compressed gasses, new paint, solvents polluting the atmosphere
etc).

Isn't Hereford 'the countryside'? It was pretty rural last time I was
there. Just think of the poor farmers deprived of the vehicles they need
to do their job, supplying their local farmers markets and farm shops to
cut down on food miles. Not to mention e.g. local doctors who need 4x4's
in bad weather to get to remote locations in times of emergency.

The realities of rural life are beyond these town based guardians of freedom
who seek to impose their outlook on others about whom they know nothing and

If your idiot friends really have to engage in this pointless activity
why didn't they target a central London or West End showroom where the
4x4's will more likely be the ones bought for cosmetic reasons. Better
still, surburban Essex there are plenty of Chav 4x4's on the sites by
the A12 for example.

Landrover Defenders are not generally bought for cosmetic reasons, you
targeted the wrong car in the wrong place. (Your mates seem to be
pretty good at fucking up).

I am making a (late) New Year's resolution - I'm not going to respond

just shuts up, changes the subject, and then repeats the same old

No the corporate media and the BBC are too scared to properly portray

I second this. A lot of the damage caused during the protests during
the G8 summit in scotland were not shown in detail by the UK media.
The extensive damage that was caused in certain areas was glossed over

A couple of hundred yards from my home, for example. The riot there took
place Wed 6th July, and I was on holiday. Switched on a TV to catch some
news headlines, and was confronted by images of police/terrorist action
not a couple of hundred yards from where I live. Later, we saw images
of the aftermath, but while we were shown a wrecked Burger King (wholesome
image of anti-globalisation protest) and a damaged police van (likewise)
they missed out the various pubs and shops and cars that had been attacked,
because presumably that would have cast the terrorists in a bad light.

Mmmm. Because the BBC are so far into Tony's pockets, aren't they?

I'm glad the G8 was introduced here as it is a perfect example of an
unelected body which has a profound influence on the lives of British
voters. Hardly surprising then that certain public spirited people
should object to it and no more suprising that the government's police
force should try to stop them, while the corporate media continues to
play down such dissent.

Don't bother to vote.
You can't change the play by changing the players.

British voters, eh? So that excludes you.

Anyway, I think you'll find that all eight countries forming the G8 _do_
have elected governments.

If you want to vote for the government of Japan or Russia or the US, I
suggest you emigrate there. The fact that you chose NOT to vote for the
government of the country you live in does not mean that the government is
unelected.

possibly true but at least one riot happened in a place devoid of
police and it had ended by the time backup arrived. ( by ended i mean
they had finished destroying local livelihoods and run away)

The police treatment of some protesters was most certainly heavy
handed; but some protesters were intent on causing a lot of damage so
its not as if it was an entirely peaceful protest.

Balancing the right to protest with others right to live peacefully
isn't easy...

there are lot of unelected bodies trying to say how I can live my
life.
Europe, the G8, certain protesters that decide they know better than
anyone else and take the law into their own hands, business and so on
and on...

However, all the politicians who attend the G8 are elected by their voters,
unlike you and your conies who go around wrecking other people's property
thereby causing even more pollution than if they'd left things alone.

Are you going to condemn these people who are damaging your cause Doug,
making both themselves and you look stupid?

Is there any chance your "argument" will ever progress beyond "tu
quoque"?

Well our PM is not chosen by the people, he was chosen by a political
party which only has 21% support from the electorate.

If the paintstripper caused one less 4x4 to be bought then that would
be outweighed by a large marging the damage that would be caused by
that car.

We don't care how we look in the eyes of unrepentant 4x4 users such as
yourself. Soon you will be paying much more for the privilege of
driving such and environmentally unfriendly car and this makes you
look very stupid indeed.

Just because you're too idle to visit the polling station and put your mark
on a piece of paper doesn't mean the present incumbent wasn't elected.

It's more likely to have the opposite effect

Just one minor technical problem there Doug, I don't use a 4x4. Again you
demonstrate your stupidity.

Why should farmer's and other's who have a genuine need for an offroad
vehicle be penalised simply on your say so?

Excellent. Do let us know when you next plan one of your dumb protests
Duhg as I've promised to come along. And now that we know that you
think criminal damage is okay, as long as its on something you dont
agree with, I'll make 100% sure that anyone inconvenienced by your
protests has a bit of paper with your address and a suggestion that
you should have all your windows put through :o)
After all, if someone disagrees with you living in a house, they are
within their rights to smash it up, aren't they?
