These eco-activists are just narcissists - the judge has given them what they deserve

Finally, a judge who speaks for the people of this country and has the guts to do what the British people have long wanted the judiciary to do: throw the book at those loony eco-activists who bring whole cities to a standstill not caring if people live or die.

At Southwark Crown Court, Judge Christopher Hehir doled out the longest-ever sentences for a so-called peaceful protest FIVE years to Stop Oil's leader Roger Hallam (who also founded Extinction Rebellion and Insulate Britain) and four years to four other protesters who paralysed the M25 back in 2022.

He told them: "You have appointed yourselves as the sole arbiters of what should be done about climate change. Your fanaticism has made you heedless of the rights of fellow citizens."

Too right it has. These activists have stopped ambulances getting to hospitals. They've stopped fire engines. They've stopped people getting to work, prevented mums getting their kids to school. They've laughed in the faces of people begging them to move so they can get to an emergency.

They've caused gridlock in cities which have cost millions and, until now, all they've had is a slap on the wrist and we've had to watch their smirking faces as they leave the court punching the air and laughing at our soft judicial system.

Well they're not laughing now. They will of course see themselves as heroes incarcerated for "the cause". But their feelings of heroism and self-love will soon wear off when prison life starts to bite.

That said, with this current government, they'll probably be out in a few months and I'm sure as we speak whole legions of human rights lawyers are buzzing around like busy bees preparing a case for appeal.

But don't forget this particular mob was responsible for the unprecedented disruption on the M25 in November 2022 when they climbed onto the motorway gantries and brought traffic on either side to a standstill. They put their own lives in danger, which they're perfectly entitled to do, but they are not entitled to put the lives of others in danger which they did.

That day of protests caused an economic hit of £765,000. The cost to the police was more than £1million. The JSO mob caused 50,000 hours of delays affecting more than 700,000 vehicles. THAT had to be punished because as Judge Hehir said these people ARE heedless of the rights of their fellow citizens.

Of course, the usual suspects were outside the court protesting after the sentencing. Chris Packham was screaming that he felt physically sick and the sentence was "judicial thuggery". He was joined by Labour donor Dale Vince who said: "The ruling makes the UK look like North Korea or Russia", which shows what a 24-carat thickie he is.

If those protesters were living in North Korea or Russia, they'd never have been allowed to protest in the first place. And if they had, they wouldn't now be alive to tell the tale. So those kind of hysterical comparisons make Vince look like the uninformed numpty he is.

The fact is JSO protestors do absolutely nothing for climate change. They're narcissists who engage in activism for the sole purpose of satisfying their feelings of moral superiority and their desperate need for attention. Nothing they do helps the planet. They trot out their so-called "facts" about how the end is nigh which they've learned parrot-fashion from Google and, when asked to explain or justify them, they flounder like drowning fish because they really don't know what they're talking about. They just love drawing attention to themselves, rather than actually drawing attention to any specific environmental matter, which backs up the findings of a new study which says narcissists get involved in activism not for altruistic reasons but for selfish ones to make them feel morally superior.

And these poor saps are so brainwashed by their guru, Hallam, that they don't see their protests achieve nothing other than feeding their inflated egos. Why doesn't Hallam stand for Parliament where he could stop behaving like some cult leader (although I think he's the ultimate narcissist who craves the adoration of his dopey acolytes) and actually effect change? But he doesn't.

He just tells his people to stop ambulances getting sick people to hospital. And the hypocrisy of JSO protestors is towering. They use adhesives made from fossil fuels to glue themselves to paintings and onto roads. And they claim to care about saving humanity yet have prevented ambulances and fire engines reaching their destination.

So three cheers for Judge Hehir. We need more like him.

IS IT just me or does it feel to you that, after two weeks of a Labour Government, the world felt like a much safer place when Boris and Trump were in charge?

Just saying...

BIGMOUTH David Lammy, who unbelievably has been appointed Foreign Secretary, has refused to apologise for his Nazi jibe at Donald Trump (he called him a "Neo-Nazi sympathising sociopath") but insists they can do business together if he becomes president. "We'll work with whomever the US chooses to put in the White House," he says.

Lammy is so dense he's funny. He doesn't get the fact that if Trump refuses to do business with HIM which he's already hinted will be the case Lammy will be a goner. He'll be sacked. Which on the world stage might be a blessing for Britain as this gaffe-prone politician is a bit too fond of chucking the "Nazi "word about.

Remember he's the man who branded politicians committed to Brexit as being "worse than Nazis".

THERE'S a new drug on the block which has been nicknamed the "Supermodel Granny Drug". It works by switching off a protein in the body called IL-11 which increases in humans as we get older. So far it's only been tested on mice but scientists at Imperial College have discovered it not only extends life by 25 per cent, it made the mice look young again. It completely banished their grey hair and it also improved their vision, hearing and muscle strength. Oh, and it might help prevent cancer.

I'm in! I'm formally volunteering my ancient carcass for when they start testing this drug on humans.

YOU really know our police forces have lost the plot when you discover they're sitting on the top decks of buses looking for drivers on their mobile phones.

Well, they are in Cambridge. Three drivers got £200 fines but, to rake in this £600 cash, Stagecoach had to loan the local plod a double decker tourist bus and a driver for them to spend God knows how many hours nicking just three people.

Is this really the best use of their time? Doesn't it seem a bit Keystone Cops?

PRESIDENT Joe Biden says he'll quit the presidential race if he's diagnosed with a "serious" medical condition.

How bleedin' serious does it have to be?

Last week he didn't know what year it was he thought he was fighting Trump in the 2020 election.He called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski, President Putin. At the G7 summit in Italy, he wandered away from a group photo of all the leaders and had to be led gently back by Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

And he keeps losing his train of thought in the middle of speeches.

The man literally is losing his mind in front of our eyes which feels pretty "serious" when you know he's got the power to start World War Three if he feels like it.

HATS off to Queen Camilla. It was her 77th birthday on Wednesday but still she spent it hobbling into parliament on her twisted ankle alongside King Charles where she had to sit and listen to him deliver Labour's new Red agenda.

Fancy having to spend your birthday listening to stuff that you know is going to wreck the country. I hope her aides had a stiff drink and a paracetamol waiting for her when it was all over!

AM I the only one who felt slightly queasy when Cold Feet actress Fay Ripley said she was going to breastfeed her future grandchildren. Talking about how she was suffering from empty nest syndrome and seeing her kids grow older, she said: "It's the most challenging moment of my life. But then you can fill that gap with the grandparent role. I'm happy to do that and, yes, I'll be breastfeeding. I'm taking on the wet nurse role."

She might be kidding. She might not. But reading this self-confessed helicopter parent's words I felt the same about her as I feel when reading about those mums who are still breastfeeding their kids when they're teenagers.

Sorry, it's obsessive and weird.

JUSTICE Secretary Shabana Mamood's justification for giving thousands of prisoners a Get Out of Jail Free card having served just 40 per cent of their sentence is that prisons are so overcrowded they're a powder keg ready to explode and prisoners are likely to run riot.

So, her solution to that problem is to let thousands of those angry, violent, pent up criminals onto the streets to vent their frustrations on innocent people? And would it be terribly controversial of me to say I don't give a stuff if prisons are overcrowded or uncomfortable. If people don't want to be there don't commit the crimes that'll put them there!
