It‘s all their camping stuff. I wonder where it was made, what materials and power were used in the manufacture and how it was packaged and shipped.....

True, but in a damp climate like ours, unfortunately, synthetics are hard to replace for these purposes. Longevity and recycling, perhaps to the homeless, would be important, and overall personal carbon footprint needs to be borne in mind. You might burn more hydro-carbons in an afternoon in your car than one of these roll-mats that prevents a homeless person from getting hypothermia from frozen concrete for five years.
 
They've blocked off all of the junctions outside my work.

I of course respect their wish for policy changes. However, I suspect a lot of them are guilty of a fair amount of hypocrisy.

I've just gone for a look and you won't find a more middle class, white group than these. All clad out in their Patagonia and North Face (yes, North Face is a middle class brand in the Home Counties!). I wonder how many holidays abroad these people have compared to the average person?

Bumped in to a fella I know who works in a Leon. He said they've been washing the toilets there, drinking water straight from the jug, spitting on the floor. Rather entitled.

They wouldn't be the only ones.
I know plenty of working class people involved in climate activism however that is still not a basis for evidence.

When I used to work in this general area many years ago, a common saying was 'love the environment, hate environmentalists', and I suspect that perhaps sums up many people's views of today's protesters.

The police should just load them onto buses, take them out into the Welsh countryside and leave them there.....
