Climate activists glue themselves to car dealership but complain when staff turn off lights and heating
Staff left them to protest in the dark and they were annoyed they weren't given a 'bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner'.
One of the protestors has taken to Twitter to complain about how staff at the car manufacturer didn't do anything to help them. Gianluca Grimalda said: "They refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating."Grimalda complained about how they were treated after launching their protest. "We can't order our food, we must use the one provided by Wolkswagen," he said. "Lights off. Random unannounced checks by security guards with bright torches."so good

Happened in '77 in the UK as well.
"Saturday 26 November, 1977, must have seemed like a normal Saturday. At ten minutes past five, the TV picture wobbled slightly and the sound of Andrew Gardner’s professional delivery was silenced, to be replaced by a distorted voice delivering a quite remarkable message for almost six minutes.
While TV engineers valiantly tried to get to the bottom of the interruption, and the visuals on the TV continued as normal, the local news round-up followed by a Looney Tunes cartoon, the audio was something else entirely.
It purported to be a communication from an individual identifying themselves as Vrillon, representing a body called the Ashtar Galactic Command. And the message was simple: we humans had to give up our warlike ways and embrace a more peaceful existence… before it was too late."
This is the voice of Vrillon, a representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command, speaking to you. For many years you have seen us as lights in the skies. We speak to you now in peace and wisdom as we have done to your brothers and sisters all over this, your planet Earth. We come to warn you of the destiny of your race and your world so that you may communicate to your fellow beings the course you must take to avoid the disaster which threatens your world, and the beings on our worlds around you.
This is in order that you may share in the great awakening, as the planet passes into the New Age of Aquarius. The New Age can be a time of great peace and evolution for your race, but only if your rulers are made aware of the evil forces that can overshadow their judgments.
Be still now and listen, for your chance may not come again. All your weapons of evil must be removed. The time for conflict is now past and the race of which you are a part may proceed to the higher stages of its evolution if you show yourselves worthy to do this. You have but a short time to learn to live together in peace and goodwill. Small groups all over the planet are learning this, and exist to pass on the light of the dawning New Age to you all.
