Roger not saying I condone what they do but can you see it from their perspective? They are worried and brave enough to protest in a way which hugely impacts their lives. Without getting too close to political discussion there is debate about whether a protest should be noisy and disruptive. If it isn’t would it work?!

As to whether the Insulate Britain group have any concrete plans, it only took me a few seconds to find their campaign website, with a link to this document:

I've not read all of it yet but at first glance it does seem to draw on existing technical research and case studies and say that insulating old properties can be done but needs to be properly done to avoid problems of ventilation etc.

Does that justify blocking ambulances ? Possibly a blue-light job ?
Or you missing your flight ?
or your chemotherapy slot?
Perhaps that poor guy's wife who suffered a stroke might not now be paralysed for life thanks to those idiots.

Well XR have made clear today that they do not block ambulances. As to missing flights, the chart on page 13 of the document Andy linked to caught my eye. We all know aviation is terrible for the planet but was surprised to see as a sector it’s contribution has increased 77% since 1990!
