This group are apparently protesting at the lack of support and funding for house insulation - a significant component of the climate change agenda.

As it happens I agree with their climate concerns.

The government appear to do little or nothing to improve matters by strengthening buildng regulations etc. Subsidies to improve energy efficiency of existing housing is very limited - but it is questionable whether the taxpayer or the owner should foot the bill.

The only way to get noticed is to cause problems. Demonstrations which don't register with the public or media are pointless - they make zero difference to anything.

So we have a choice - police intrusive demonstrations with a light touch and limited punishment for protesters, or go down a "Chinese" route - tear gas, truncheons and prison sentences.

The former annoys those who are inconvenienced, but reflects current policy. The latter just isn't very "British". Which is right probably depends on personal circumstance.
