The problem with the oil is setting it on fire releasing all the co2 into the atmosphere that is causing the planet to heat up. If we didn't burn 97,103,871 barrels of oil every day. They wouldn't be talking about stopping drilling. 35 billion barrels of oil up in smoke each year and folk still deny it will have an effect on the planet.. It's obvious the entire planet is heating up. There aren't parts of planet earth that are significantly cooler than they were 50 years ago. The problem is people think a humans lifetime is a significant amount in terms of planet earths changing climate. If we weren't burning fossil fuels thousands of times faster than carbon itself takes to grow, planet earth would take many thousands of years to change as opposed to just a few decades like we are witnessing. 32 billion barrels of oil a year up in smoke. 2 million olympic swimming pools worth of oil up in smoke. after taking between 60 and 250 million years to form...

They need to have a hobby and a proper job.

[@jewelhaq7805]

Send them on community duty on the barges

[@thesisypheanjournal1271]

If I was a bystander for that I'd be applauding so hard I'd have to ice my hands afterward.

[@GregoryLancaster-rf7ce]

They are dangerous and aggressive now and need to be stopped immediately

[@ApnaChoud]

And how did they actually get to Selfridges by teleportation or did they use flying Unicorns?

[@oilylampman7252]

Just a joke....they do what they do and get largely ignored!

[@jacquelinebailey3637]

Don't these people have jobs or are they all on benefits?

[@janewillbourne9398]

They may not be violent but the rest of us are fed up with them and will turn angry.

[@chrissmith-wq6gr]

You could see the security guards would love to have dragged them out feet first. Shame they kept their cool.

[@John64125]

Can you imagine ever employing one of these people should they ever decide to work for a living? If they indicate any support for just stop oil how could you trust them as employees? Some small issue could cause offence, trigger them and start them off on some unreasonable crusade causing huge disruption. You could try to reason but reason isn’t effective, the only thing that matters is the current obsession. I worry about the state of mind of people who could do this I really do. It’s impossible to justify.

[@jimjones-bk2is]

These folk all look quite retired to me. They've all got very grey hair.

[@jimjones-bk2is]

And people have been trying reason for a very long time.

[@stanleystevens6278]

Just give them a month's extra pay and terminate their employment.

[@MsK-xm7vw]

Funny that they think preventing people from living their lives isn’t violence! 😮

[@prostawoda]

Hypocrisy knows no bounds. Shouldn't they be running around naked? Oil and other minerals are used to make their shoes and clothes. Shouldn't they walk everywhere? Because even to make a bicycle is used oil and other minerals. Why hasn't any journalist yet shown their hypocrisy?

[@AWARHERO]

At least they were not stopping people from driving. Very professional security team. Firm but respectful.

[@simonbaxter8001]

At least in a privately owned shop/business, they can be asked to leave and if they don't they are then trespassing (sadly a civil matter, not criminal!).

[@s3ra9h1m]

Yup, they can also use reasonable force to evict them too.

[@michaelanderson2881]

In the U.S., at least, civil trespass can become criminal trespass.

[@andrewtaylor5984]

Agreed that security staff can use reasonable force to evict "shoppers" from the premises. They also have the right to get the police involved if they have reasonable grounds to believe that an offence has been, or is likely to be, committed. There is also the little-known procedure, known as Citizens' Arrest, which anybody can carry out. Also, trespass becomes a criminal offence when the trespassers damage the land on which they are trespassing, or cause a nuisance to the landowners.

[@mistycat1954]

Not if they don't leave then it becomes aggravated trespass which is criminal.

[@oftin_wong]

The criminality is established during the civil proceedings It's just that the police aren't prosecuting them in the courts

[@TheKnightsShield]

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence

[@Juicys78]

I think it is only a matter of time before someone snaps and gives them a hiding...Security staff acted perfectly here

[@adriangreen6675]

All shops have the right of admission reserved. Which means if they do require your presence they can have removed from their property

[@garrycourt6071]

The protestors all have that other-worldy appearance.

[@susankillip3611]

You have to ask how they got there. I bet they didn’t walk.

[@jimjones-bk2is]

This is London they probably took the tube.

[@MargaretAnderson-ti1sw]

By the looks of them, they'll be crawling.

[@expendable1969]

"we are none violent" says the most passive aggresive group of people ever!!!

[@Dargonhuman]

"If you touch me, that's assault". Then they're sbout to commit various assaults. Besides, I don't know for certain but I'm pretty sure removing someone from private property who is a criminal trespasser overrides the "unwanted touching is assault" clause.

[@NaturallySceptical]

It’s incredible how many non-violent types forget to be non-belligerent or non-antagonistic.

[@GregoryLancaster-rf7ce]

The organisers are abusing vulnerable people

[@tomlathrop4094]

"we are not violent"perhaps those morons should gain an understanding of violence. Those idiots physically place themselves in positions that cause damage to others. That is violence.

[@andrewtaylor5984]

What was the purpose of people going into Selfridges, or any store for that matter, if they were not going to buy anything, and had no intention to do so?

[@abelmanmoth1]

The word dramatic is doing a lot of work in that headline

[@ontheroad5317]

Why do they always have that slow, shuffling zombie walk. I’ve seen videos where people drag them off the street, and they just mindlessly shamble back to their spot.

[@indigocheetah4172]

Where do they find the protesters - at the nursing homes ? How much do they pay the clowns. Kudos to the security team .
