Leading activists with climate change protest group Just Stop Oil have admitted that they drive petrol cars, but still claim that this doesn’t make them hypocrites.
Erm, okay then.
“Dr Larch Maxey, 50, a climate scientist from the eco group, said some members still drive cars and fill up with petrol – but rejected the idea that it was hypocritical,” reports the Telegraph.
According to activist leaders, they are “victims” of the “fossil fuel economy.”
Maxey says that people who call for the oil industry to be shut down but then drive petrol cars shouldn’t be called out for hypocrisy because they’re “just doing our best within that to push for the necessary change.”
The implication that the activists are forced to drive petrol cars because there’s no other option is absurd given Britain’s vast public transport network, as well as the fact that virtually all major towns and cities are now festooned with cycle lanes.
What’s next?
“I’m a vegan who eats meat, but I’m not a hypocrite.”
Last year, it was revealed that the leader of Insulate Britain, another Extinction Rebellion offshoot, doesn’t even insulate his own home and indeed “doesn’t care” about insulating homes.
The truth is, they’re all hypocrites who care more about attention-seeking and social media clout than they do the actual cause they’re supposed to be fighting for.
Do as we say, not as we do.

Celibate the differences.
—”Walk the Walk.”
YES!
Do they travel by airplane?
Jet fuel allows 3,000PPM sulfur. ~EIGHTEEN BILLION GALLONS per year used in the US.
The diesel fuel used in the USA is 15PPM!!!! ~ THIRTY BILLION GALLONS per year in the US. (2009)
A small gasoline-powered airplane? Don’t get me started I live near a small airport... Aviation gas is leaded, automotive gas is NO LEAD. People living near busy airports with small aircraft have higher lead in their systems.
A ship on the ocean? Near the port, they are required to switch to low sulfur, out at sea the fuel has as much as 35,000 PPM sulfur. And if using scrubbers what becomes of the captured waste???
“Walk the Walk.”
Yes, by all means, yes.
Unless they all live out in the middle of the woods, growing and raising all their own food with no connection to the grid, they are hypocrites.
I can do a half hours work in thirty minutes.
But a lot of it is pre-processed through animals.
It has been said that; “SOME PEOPLE JUST NEED KILLIN”!
