The Just Stop Oil children have invaded the pitch and dumped orange powder.
Johnny Bairstow picked up the naughty child and carried him off the pitch.
I think he should have smacked his little botty into the bargain.

So what do they have against cricket ? :lipsrsealed:
Perhaps it's all that oil they rub into their bats.
A black woman has just called it racist and sexist so it's fair game for the woke community.
The ECB did too though.

I saw the headlines about that report, what on earth does that black woman know about cricket ?
As a white man I have no opinion of value.
What woman? Can't seem to find it.
Anyway, one of the protestors was a grandmother to 7 children. Perhaps she ought to consider culling them and herself to lessen the world's need for fossil fuel.

I too used to be a white man. Since nobody considered my opinions worth listening to, I have now identified that I am in fact a black woman. Apart from every second Sunday of the month, when it is palpably true that I am a ginger cat for the day.
Just call me Foxy.
Well I'm a pig ... always have been.
Watched it actually happen on Sky today. Lets hope they try it on this coming football season at a Luton v West Ham Game, or anyone v Millwall.
They'll find rough and possibly terminal justice awaits
Cretinous middle class white ideologues.
Not a fan then Cassandra? 😂😂

🤣 🤣 🤣
June 28, 2023, 08:11:45 PMI don't think there is any particular reason why the naughty children tried it on at the Ashes, just that there was a large crowd for them to play to.
As others elsewhere have said, I'd love to see them come on with their orange powder at a major football match, especially at one of the locations where the fans would 'react' to them!

Well I ask you; the paper doily government of the UK has apparently been changing the laws to stop them, not only in these endeavours, but their obstruction of the roads. Just like they are stopping the boats etc etc.
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
All I see is plod, debating with them, via great fat bottomed, trousered, female (or gender 57) ploddesses who arrange refreshments to accompany their illegal endeavours.
Soak them with power hoses everytime they appear and then stick them in a tank of orange glue for the weekend! Those that can't last out - drown!
The Police already have enough powers to remove them under existing legislation. From what I can see from over here, Plod UK are so bloody Woke they are in full step with them.
Try walking on a five lane freeway over here. You'd have to be scraped up by a power shovel.
Demanding what an 'elected' government does! the bloody communists - Next stop inertia terminating at the end of the line - anarchy!

Very true, but I suspect that there may be some political, or judicial, influence here.
The government is known to be woke, and judges probably the same, and may (for some unknown reason) want to support the naughty children.

Well in my time on the 'Judging' I was certainly known to be very Un-woke, but looking back towards the end we were definitely in the minority. Over here each State has its own identity and then there's the 'County' profiles within that overall demography too. I have 'heard' quite a few cases over here now as a 'Visiting Judge' in reserve and have enjoyed the system greatly, although I wish I was 20 years younger to learn the many differences without research. Lets just say very sadly, that I feel a lot more at home here, than I did towards the end of my life in England - both socially and professionally.

The impression I get is that the police in America are far more likely to clamp down on the sort of nonsense we now see all the time here.
Our police, courts, and other authorities are far too soft these days and would do well to take a leaf out of America's book.

It's great that you've 'found your place' in your new life.
There must be many of us in the UK that no longer feel at home.

Indeed there are.

As I said it depends on each States laws and then the 'County' trends within. However certainly New York, California in particular and many New England States are the homes of 'World Woke' and 'fake-news'. America is as divided as the UK appears to be just now. Its a generational thing though and therefore thank god I'll be gone long before any 'victors' emerge. In the unwoke 'States' I feel very at home and indeed it would never cross my mind to visit any of the above mentioned Woke ones now or forever. I hate there attitude to life as much as the UK. Fortunately over here just because a loon in New Jersey says they all want to grow up as garbage bins or Mooses, it means nothing in my home state; which overall deplores the pithy wanton childishness for what it is and run their home regions completely devoid of these insanities.
They don't understand how 'that Asian guy' gets in with no votes in England and who or what Nicola Sturgeon is - they just don't fathom! After dinner chats at my home sometimes last hours in explanation and they leave shaking their heads in disbelief. But the 'Just Stop Oil','Extinction Rebellion', etc etc 'loony toons' as the call them over here and the way they walk slow in front of traffic, un-arrested is totally beyond them! The dopes on the Dartford Bridge for three days, they honestly thought was a wind up! Here they'd send up officers with dope dart guns and then lift them off unconscious by helicopter. Bridge and road opened in a couple of hours! Any sign of guns or violent resistance - shot to death by helicopter gun ships instantly.
Above all the way our young scum talk to the police is incomprehensible to them. Do it over here and just see what state you wind up in, and indeed where you go!
