Huge UK public support for direct action to protect the environment and nature

In recent weeks, the UK Government has launched a blatant, unprecedented and full-scale attack on the environment and nature leaving wildlife unprotected by tearing up some of the most fundamental laws that we have, thereby failing to recognise or act on the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis.

SS15 wildlife watching: Direct action not ruled out by conservation groups over UK Government environment policies

A recent opinion poll shows that a large majority of the UK public supports non-violent direct action to protect the environment and nature.

The poll indicates the widespread unpopularity of a recent swathe of UK Government policies with 68% of people said they most trusted the Labour Party to protect and improve the environment with just 32% backing the Conservative Party.

The Public Order Bill currently passing through Parliament aims to introduce stiff penalties for protests, such as those by Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion and other campaigning groups described as “Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati” by the appallingly incompetent and obnoxious Home Secretary and right-wing head banger, Suella Braverman.

The right to non-violent protest is fundamental to any democracy and this proposed legislation is an attack on that right. Furthermore, new laws are not necessary since any civil disorder or criminal activity can be and should be dealt with by the Police under existing powers.

This recent opinion poll demonstrates, yet again, how out of touch the UK Government is with public opinion.

In the poll, 66% of people supported taking non-violent direct action to protect the UK’s nature with 34% opposed. Support for such action dropped to 44% among Conservative Party supporters.

Another poll this month showed that 81% of the public said they believed nature was under threat and that more needed to be done urgently to protect and restore it and 48% of the respondents said they were willing to take action themselves to reverse the damage.

So .... anyone who is part of the “anti-growth coalition”, the “Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati” or who just cares about the environment and nature and the worsening climate emergency and biodiversity crisis should be out on the streets on 26th November 2022.
