My preference would have been for an ack-ack gun...

...but then, I'm growing increasingly curmudgeonly: "Charges have been laid following a co-ordinated climate protest across the country where activists suspended on tall poles had to be extracted via cherry pickers".

  1. I would have gone up to make sure their fastenings were secure so they couldn't fall (or bring themselves down) and then left them there for four or five days. After all, their demonstration should be serious enough to make a point to all us earth-killers, right?

  2. Ever try trap shooting? Or sporting clays? Time was, live pigeons were used as targets.

    Might be time to resurrect that fine old tradition ....

  3. ...activists suspended on tall poles...

    The words 'suspended' and 'tall poles' implies that gravity would have been a quick, easy solution to the problem.

  4. You know, if they had been suspended from poles, I can see a scenario in which I would be ok with that.

  5. Ahhh, the ol' Ceausescu and Mussolini solution.
    I totally don't think that's funny!
