Insults and vitriol look particularly hollow if you don't back them up with at least a little substance. What annoys you in particular? How do environmentalists affect your life? Why do <em>you</em> care what <em>they</em> do or say? RSVP or your comment goes in the bin (all nouns and verbs will be recycled, the swearing will be burned for fuel).

If this were somebody in a hoodie they'd just be seen as an idiot thug, whereas because they have the tag "environmentalist" it's acceptable? Luckily, when civilised people disagree with something, they find a civilised way of dealing with it. For example the anti-road charging petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/ Pity that environmentalists don’t understand democracy and the voting system- they’d rather be playing with food like kids.

Power to the real workers!

Do you have any suggestions on how those people who are concerned about the environmental impact of private transportation <em>should</em> convey their point? Interesting sentiments there Nick.

Along with his Soul book this is the kind of impetus we need to encourage the engineering passion so sadly lacking in Britain at this time. This is something I don't think Jade Goody could help us with.
