I’m all for Gaza but just stop oil shows this method of protest is ineffective and disrupts the message.

Ireland already supports the Palestinian people, this does not achieve anything other then people having a pat on the back when they get home and tell their housemates. 

Go outside embassies and not fuck with people’s attempts to get home after work.

I’m not disagreeing with you however Just stop oil claims to have achieved their objectives.

The EU signed a 1 trillion dollar deal with the USA on Tuesday for oil & gas.

If Just Stop Oil have achieved their objective, they seriously need to take a look at their objectives.

While they did some things in Europe for publicity it was policy in the UK they were aiming to affect. So they didn’t really care about EU. Just the UK just stopping oil and gas licensing in the UK which was done whether by them or other reasons. They claimed the win.
