I’m fucking terrified. Not of what’s coming; but of humankind’s preference to deny everything, and/or blame each other, rather than actually face what’s happening here; together.

Using the fact that all eyes are on the UK to come out as a full-on, no apologies, authoritarian police state unable to tolerate signs being held, or even T-shirts with slogans written on them, sure is a look, . A fascist look, actually.

When UKIP won 166 councillors (but no councils) in 2014 the BBC called this a "political earthquake". @TheGreenParty just gained 200 councillors, taking the total to 737, took control of a council & became the biggest party in several others. But 0 Green guests on #bbclaurak.

Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck. Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

These were the Guardian headlines when UKIP won 163 seats at the local elections in 2014 For context the Green Party just won 241 seats, but no talk of a "political earthquake" Media bias is crystal clear

When will someone get a grip on the billionaire-owned press? They are the greatest block on climate action in the UK. So let's look at some of the worst examples of recent press coverage of climate activism on #TheBigOne and more. 🧡

Worse than all of that if that's possible Ms Mordaunt is a 'child killer' by professionally denying the rather pressing problem with burning all the fossil fuel Warning: you may find this disturbing bylinetimes.com/2021/02/18/min

Penny Mordaunt is a degenerate WEF globalist, a Bill Gates flunky with a raging pedophile for a brother. She's not on your side, and she never will be. This image should revolt you - if it doesn't, you need your head checking.

On climate change, we often assume people are either believers or deniers. I don't like either label, because climate change is not a religion. Instead, I prefer the 6 categories identified by @YaleClimateComm for the US. climatecommunication.yale.edu/about/projects

Fossil fuel industry should have lost its societal β€˜licence to operate’ decades ago But hasn’t, yet: Due to #55tuftonStreet #GWPF and dark web of dirty oil money that has lied & β€˜owned’ our β€˜free press’ media for decades😱 It’s not just sport that is greenwashed by oil and gas.

I want to address the main absurdity, at the centre of the ecological and climate crisis. That is the apparent belief of most politicians, billionaires, CEOs and other powerful people, that there is the option of adapting and carrying on with business as usual. 1/🧡

β€œwe wanted to use a bit of the extra time we’ve been given to sing about something more important, and more urgent, and more relevant to the future. So we picked a topic that has always been close to the new King’s heart: the environment and the need to stop destroying it”

We took a chunk out of #Coronation day to make a song about a topic very close to #KingCharlesIII's heart. So here's @OfficialSting's "Message in a Bottle" given a #ClimateEmergency twist. Don't expect laughs: youtu.be/m1mYjixyIaE. #TheBigOne @ChrisGPackham @JustStop_Oil

Love this Exquisite; so painful too. I pledge allegiance to all those taking real action on a commensurate scale with the situation we now face And may that include King Charles III πŸ™ Whoever leads on this, I’ll follow. Those leaders who don’t, please get out of the way.

Extremely sad. Leads me to wonder if some sports are more susceptible to greenwash than others, by companies that abuse, hidden in plain sight eg ’s disgraceful sports washing of Athletes keep quiet, as they are trained to?

The Tories have singlehandedly, in the past few months, let alone 13 years: β€’ Demonised refugees. β€’ Demonised LGBTQ+ people. β€’ Demonised voters. β€’ Demonised the right to protest, which means they have... β€’ Demonised freedom of speech. What next? πŸ€” #ToriesOut
