"Is it counter-productive? Well, we’re all talking about it, so on an important metric they are succeeding in what they’ve set out to do."

It is ok for good lefties to call that out as utter bollocks...!!!

What 'we're' talking about is the fanatical numpty useful idiot protesters..

They are an annoying distraction from talking about the actual issues which matter more than just about any others
to the survival of our planet..

Issues which ARE already being widely discussed because of their vital importance to our future..

NOT because of vain protesting fools and their uncritical naive supporters claiming credit
for such timely current crucial discussions...

.. and what a joke if the Home Insulation industry is discovered to be covertly controlling Insulate Britain puppets...???

They got as far as legally tolerable with dodgy call centre tele sales teams
promising free govt money grants for shoddy home insulation products...
