Protest groups such as Just Stop Oil will be forced to pay compensation to people whose lives they disrupt under plans in a Government-commissioned review
Andrew Pierce and Bev Turner entered into a fiery debate with a Just Stop Oil activist on GB News and slammed the protester as "arrogant."
It comes after it has been reported that protest groups such as Just Stop Oil may be forced to pay compensation to the people whose lives they disrupt under plans in a government-commissioned review.
Speaking to Andrew and Bev on GB News, campaigner Gill Taverner said: "It's not fair cop, is it? A fair cop would be looking at who do we sue when fossil fuels release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Who does a farmer sue when they can only plant on a third of their land?
"Who do we sue when our homes are flooded? Who do we sue when an elderly relative is washed away in a flood or dies in their home of heat?
"All we're trying to do is raise the alarm. And we wouldn't have to be disrupting anything if the government would take these things seriously.
She added: "It's just ridiculous."
Bev then said: "The catastrophic thinking that you demonstrate that when you talk about this issue, I'm sure that feels important to you.
"But it doesn't feel important to the person whose cafe can't open on a Saturday morning because of the disruption outside their business, who can't pay their bills or their mortgage because you're fighting for something that you believe in, your catastrophic thinking will happen in several decades. Make that make sense."
