[–] Asimo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children) Ok right, so they'll use this as fuel for us to exit the EU court of human rights. Joy 😔 permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago Yeah but lets face it They will use anything. Unfortunately to many (mainly right wing) brits want the UK to dump all international cooperation. Cant really fault the young people for feeling the current govs are screwing them over long term. Maybe if more in the UK were able to sue past generations leaders. They may care. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago* Above said. Exxon are the corp who needs the most legal action. They literally funded and ran the science that discovered the first evidence of global warning. Then as management changed. Funded the largest fight to discredit it over decades. These guys are/were international criminals in my mind. permalink fedilink source parent
