TLDRCette vidéo présente la campagne "Ensure Our Survival" menée par Extinction Rebellion. Elle vise à sensibiliser l'opinion publique et à encourager des actions directes non violentes à Londres, le 28 octobre, pour pousser les compagnies d'assurance à cesser de fournir des couvertures pour les nouveaux projets de combustibles fossiles tels que le pétrole, le gaz et le charbon. Les raisons de ce focus sur les assureurs sont que sans assurance, les projets ne sont pas viables économiquement. La campagne vise à stopper la contribution des assureurs au réchauffement climatique, que ce soit par le financement de nouveaux projets fossiles ou le renouvellement des projets existants. Extinction Rebellion appelle donc le public à se mobiliser pour faire pression sur ces compagnies afin de les forcer à investir dans des initiatives favorisant la survie de l'humanité, comme l'énergie renouvelable, et à sécuriser un avenir plus durable pour tous. Il est également question du rôle des compagnies d'assurance dans l'économie actuelle et de l'importance de leur transformation pour faire face aux risques climatiques croissants.

  • 00:00:03
    welcome to all those joining us on
  • 00:00:05
    YouTube along with the crowd here
  • 00:00:06
    tonight this is the right place to find
  • 00:00:08
    out what inure our survival is the
  • 00:00:12
    campaign from Extinction Rebellion
  • 00:00:13
    whether it's for you and what we're
  • 00:00:15
    planning as well as how to get involved
  • 00:00:17
    so I'm going to start with the big why
  • 00:00:19
    and then hand on to others to cover the
  • 00:00:21
    info that we can share on what we will
  • 00:00:23
    do in October the practicalities and the
  • 00:00:26
    ways to get involved then we'll have a
  • 00:00:28
    Q&A with our fantastic audience here
  • 00:00:29
    tonight T all these sections will be put
  • 00:00:32
    into chapters on YouTube so that you can
  • 00:00:34
    find what you need and the links shared
  • 00:00:36
    here will be in the video description so
  • 00:00:39
    the first part why join us on October
  • 00:00:41
    the 28th in London so there's many
  • 00:00:46
    reasons um why uh Insurance bear some of
  • 00:00:48
    the responsibility for Global Heating
  • 00:00:51
    and all the um biodiversity loss and
  • 00:00:53
    other things that we face in order to
  • 00:00:57
    start um digging up uh
  • 00:01:00
    a part of the world a habitat uh
  • 00:01:02
    people's communities in order to build
  • 00:01:05
    um you know a coal mine or an oil
  • 00:01:08
    pipeline there are four types of
  • 00:01:10
    organizations that have a say in it
  • 00:01:12
    there's the banks and the oil companies
  • 00:01:14
    which put up the money and want to do it
  • 00:01:16
    but there's also two other types of
  • 00:01:17
    organizations that have to say yeah that
  • 00:01:20
    that that can go ahead one of them the
  • 00:01:22
    government's involved so for the ECOT
  • 00:01:24
    pipeline digging out Tanzania and Uganda
  • 00:01:27
    to build a heated oil pipeline they need
  • 00:01:29
    to those governments on board the last
  • 00:01:31
    one though is the one that's interesting
  • 00:01:33
    for us
  • 00:01:34
    Insurance there is no extraction
  • 00:01:37
    drilling digging burning refining
  • 00:01:40
    transporting oil gas or coal at scale
  • 00:01:44
    anywhere on this planet that doesn't
  • 00:01:46
    require Insurance anything that you're
  • 00:01:48
    doing at scale uh at a kind of corporate
  • 00:01:52
    National level scale requires Insurance
  • 00:01:54
    whether you're desalinating water or
  • 00:01:56
    poisoning the water right so that means
  • 00:02:00
    that whilst they like to say that it's
  • 00:02:02
    all the big bank's fault and big oil's
  • 00:02:04
    fault that every insurance company you
  • 00:02:08
    know they're in the the ones that are
  • 00:02:09
    involved in oil gas and coal have a veto
  • 00:02:13
    they can veto this they can say no to
  • 00:02:15
    these new projects they can say we're
  • 00:02:17
    going to deal instead with the things
  • 00:02:19
    that Humanity needs not the things that
  • 00:02:21
    they don't need and we'll come back to
  • 00:02:22
    that in a second so these dirty insurers
  • 00:02:24
    insuring oil gas and coal have a veto on
  • 00:02:27
    all the new projects as well as all the
  • 00:02:29
    stuff already happening they can say no
  • 00:02:31
    we're not going to renew the insurance
  • 00:02:33
    coverage for your Fleet of super tankers
  • 00:02:36
    or your oil um uh your oil um drilling
  • 00:02:41
    platforms right um so what what exactly
  • 00:02:46
    are we doing then so in terms
  • 00:02:49
    of the amount of oil gas and coal that
  • 00:02:52
    humanity is digging up and burning and
  • 00:02:54
    all of that today so as we know that's
  • 00:02:57
    heating up the atmosphere that's driving
  • 00:02:59
    extreme weather and the story that we're
  • 00:03:01
    you know really Keen to tell and to get
  • 00:03:03
    through to uh as many people as possible
  • 00:03:06
    is that by doing that by increasing the
  • 00:03:07
    extreme weather it's going to mean that
  • 00:03:11
    you know the places where we grow our
  • 00:03:13
    food is subject to more droughts more
  • 00:03:15
    floods more heat waves more fires the
  • 00:03:18
    the the ability to feed 8 billion people
  • 00:03:20
    is becoming more and more risky there's
  • 00:03:22
    a greater risk the more fossil fuels
  • 00:03:24
    that we burn and that's what these
  • 00:03:25
    insurers are saying yes to enabling you
  • 00:03:28
    know giving the rubber stamp too um so
  • 00:03:32
    really when you you you get down to it
  • 00:03:34
    you know there's there's real risk there
  • 00:03:36
    in terms of the food supply but that's
  • 00:03:37
    also is driving food inflation here in
  • 00:03:40
    the UK so some of these insurers that we
  • 00:03:42
    pay for home insurance car insurance pet
  • 00:03:45
    insurance you know they're charging us
  • 00:03:48
    but at the same time they're making food
  • 00:03:49
    more scarce and driving the prices up
  • 00:03:51
    they're charging us but they're making
  • 00:03:53
    the floods more likely and it's not just
  • 00:03:56
    the general insurers like AXA that offer
  • 00:03:58
    home insurance it's all the insurers
  • 00:04:00
    that are involved in dirty oil gas and
  • 00:04:02
    coal infrastructure projects yeah so
  • 00:04:06
    every single insurer and there's about
  • 00:04:07
    150 in the UK that's in that business is
  • 00:04:11
    making it more likely it's going to
  • 00:04:12
    flood more often and worse where you
  • 00:04:14
    live that also affects a lot of farmers
  • 00:04:17
    right there's a lot of reports this year
  • 00:04:19
    in the UK alone of farmers going out of
  • 00:04:21
    business because of floods because of
  • 00:04:22
    lost crops and they can't make hands
  • 00:04:24
    meet so there's the two things there
  • 00:04:26
    there's there's the the direct effect of
  • 00:04:28
    the extreme weather
  • 00:04:30
    on us in in the UK globally but there's
  • 00:04:33
    also that risk that it brings to the
  • 00:04:35
    food supply chain so those are the
  • 00:04:38
    things that we I think are are really
  • 00:04:40
    interested in talking about um when we
  • 00:04:43
    go to London uh at the end of October
  • 00:04:46
    the 28th um and do several days of
  • 00:04:48
    action there and then explode out across
  • 00:04:49
    the country these 150 targets um we
  • 00:04:52
    shared um some links earlier we'll share
  • 00:04:55
    another link with a map there's there's
  • 00:04:58
    dirty insurers all over the the UK the
  • 00:05:00
    UK is one of the the hearts of the
  • 00:05:02
    global insurance industry um so when we
  • 00:05:05
    go there what we're looking to do is get
  • 00:05:07
    those insurers out of being involved in
  • 00:05:09
    any new oil gas and coal projects not
  • 00:05:12
    just EOP not just West cbera Coal Mine
  • 00:05:14
    now cancelled not just Rose bank and
  • 00:05:17
    these other individual projects but out
  • 00:05:18
    of all of them and what that does is
  • 00:05:20
    everyone that pulls out pushes up the
  • 00:05:23
    price for all the remaining insurance
  • 00:05:25
    companies that are in the running they
  • 00:05:27
    all put their price up because there's
  • 00:05:28
    less competition
  • 00:05:30
    and that means that some of these
  • 00:05:31
    projects become economically unviable
  • 00:05:34
    the more insurers we get out the more of
  • 00:05:36
    these carbon bomb projects which have
  • 00:05:38
    got hundreds of millions of tons of G
  • 00:05:41
    greenhouse gas emissions per year each
  • 00:05:44
    there's 500 plus of them but the the
  • 00:05:46
    more insurers we can get out of new oil
  • 00:05:48
    coal and gas the more of these projects
  • 00:05:51
    will get canceled because they can't
  • 00:05:52
    make ends meet insurance is too
  • 00:05:54
    expensive so that's what we're about and
  • 00:05:58
    um with that come a a whole raft of
  • 00:06:00
    other benefits as well the um every
  • 00:06:04
    single one of those carbon bomb projects
  • 00:06:06
    is going to rip up nature and Destroy
  • 00:06:08
    biodiversity and habitats that we we
  • 00:06:10
    need you know we over our budget for
  • 00:06:13
    destroying that kind of stuff um but
  • 00:06:15
    also communities if we just look at the
  • 00:06:17
    ECOT pipeline again across Uganda and
  • 00:06:20
    Tanzania Comm they haven't even Broken
  • 00:06:22
    Ground and communities are already
  • 00:06:25
    getting bullied by by corporations and
  • 00:06:27
    governments and people who want to the
  • 00:06:29
    project go ahead so every single one of
  • 00:06:31
    those carbon bomb projects that we can
  • 00:06:33
    cancel by shouting at insurers here in
  • 00:06:36
    the UK has a real world effect in terms
  • 00:06:39
    of the climate in terms of biodiversity
  • 00:06:41
    and in terms of saving a Frontline fight
  • 00:06:44
    in in in terms of saving people becoming
  • 00:06:46
    activists in their communities wherever
  • 00:06:48
    that project was going to go ahead so we
  • 00:06:51
    think it's really important work and
  • 00:06:52
    it's one of the things that you know it
  • 00:06:55
    it it play our strengths you know we
  • 00:06:57
    we've proved in the spring that Mass
  • 00:06:59
    participation direct action works
  • 00:07:02
    against these targets we've got an
  • 00:07:03
    abundance of them in the UK and by
  • 00:07:05
    targeting them by going as hard as we
  • 00:07:07
    can with as many of us as we can we can
  • 00:07:10
    you know we can make an impact around
  • 00:07:12
    the world in in Saving these projects
  • 00:07:14
    from happening so the last thing to say
  • 00:07:17
    um with insurance uh the sort of why
  • 00:07:19
    Insurance bit is that unlike the banks
  • 00:07:22
    and the old companies mentioned earlier
  • 00:07:24
    but kind of like the governments they
  • 00:07:26
    are they have to deal with the real
  • 00:07:28
    world so insurance companies have to
  • 00:07:30
    look at the current state of play the
  • 00:07:32
    physical realities of planet Earth and
  • 00:07:35
    you know the the increase in extreme
  • 00:07:36
    weather is going to cost them
  • 00:07:38
    money they love risk and as the planet
  • 00:07:41
    Heats all the risks are going up the
  • 00:07:43
    risks that country a invades country B
  • 00:07:45
    is going up the risk of extreme weather
  • 00:07:47
    happening in more and more places goes
  • 00:07:48
    up you know you see the big bills when
  • 00:07:50
    there's a storm or or these kinds of
  • 00:07:52
    things those fall to the insurer right
  • 00:07:55
    so the risk go up and insurers love that
  • 00:07:57
    because they make money from risk you
  • 00:07:59
    know the RIS of something happening to
  • 00:08:00
    your house is why you pay them but the
  • 00:08:02
    uncertainty is going up even faster they
  • 00:08:05
    can't model what it looks like to have a
  • 00:08:08
    planet of 8 billion humans and a
  • 00:08:09
    complicated International supply chain
  • 00:08:12
    and it be plus 1.7 degrees plus 1.8
  • 00:08:15
    there's no historical data we can't look
  • 00:08:17
    back and go what you know what happened
  • 00:08:19
    last time there 8 billion humans and it
  • 00:08:20
    was two degrees above you know it it
  • 00:08:24
    there's simply no way of them um
  • 00:08:26
    predicting the future and that
  • 00:08:28
    uncertainty will lead to some of these
  • 00:08:30
    insurers going bankrupt so the insurers
  • 00:08:33
    know it's coming and they're worried
  • 00:08:34
    about it so unlike going and shouting at
  • 00:08:37
    the banks unlike going and shouting a
  • 00:08:38
    big Oil we're pushing on an Open Door
  • 00:08:42
    the insurers know this is bad business
  • 00:08:44
    the insurers know that some of them are
  • 00:08:46
    going to get burned if they do these
  • 00:08:47
    deals they're already putting up the
  • 00:08:49
    prices to to to give themselves a
  • 00:08:52
    cushion from this
  • 00:08:53
    risk and then everyone we take out they
  • 00:08:56
    put up the price more they put up the
  • 00:08:57
    price more these projects can't go ahead
  • 00:09:00
    so that's the story um I think one other
  • 00:09:03
    thing worth noting is that we also need
  • 00:09:06
    insurers in the current status quo in
  • 00:09:08
    the current economic system that we have
  • 00:09:10
    unless something major changes then to
  • 00:09:13
    do you know to build out a huge thing of
  • 00:09:15
    wind turbines or um a a the next
  • 00:09:19
    generation of desalination plants across
  • 00:09:22
    the um you know the coastal cities
  • 00:09:25
    somebody needs to ensure that so we do
  • 00:09:27
    hope that some of the insurers don't go
  • 00:09:29
    bankrupt and by getting them out of new
  • 00:09:32
    oil gas and coal that also increases the
  • 00:09:34
    chance that they'll be there to ensure
  • 00:09:36
    our
  • 00:09:38
    survival with that said I'll pass over
  • 00:09:40
    to the next
  • 00:09:43
    speaker hey thanks a lot Jamie oh thanks
  • 00:09:47
    a lot Jamie and um yeah thanks a lot to
  • 00:09:50
    our BSL
  • 00:09:52
    interpreters um so ensur our survival is
  • 00:09:55
    a sustained campaign of nonviolent
  • 00:09:58
    direct action
  • 00:10:00
    um in in for a few years now um there
  • 00:10:04
    has been a lot of really strong
  • 00:10:07
    campaigning um in on insurance from um a
  • 00:10:12
    coalition of NOS called insure our
  • 00:10:15
    future um and these have um worked in TW
  • 00:10:19
    more than 20 countries and really
  • 00:10:21
    developed like really a lot of um a lot
  • 00:10:25
    of knowledge they've been doing a lot of
  • 00:10:27
    great work however in
  • 00:10:30
    February um thousands of us um in XR and
  • 00:10:34
    other groups um took to the streets in
  • 00:10:36
    the city of London and all across the UK
  • 00:10:39
    um in some in the most concentrated set
  • 00:10:43
    of actions um against um insurers that
  • 00:10:48
    they' ever been and we saw um this was
  • 00:10:51
    an amazing week um we saw some genuine
  • 00:10:56
    like results um and this really
  • 00:10:59
    convinces us that
  • 00:11:01
    um that this approach is effective so
  • 00:11:05
    nonviolent direct action um that means
  • 00:11:08
    um disrupting business for one thing it
  • 00:11:11
    means causing outrage like really um
  • 00:11:14
    changing the just causing shock and also
  • 00:11:18
    um forcing conversations with um people
  • 00:11:22
    on the street um this um this direct
  • 00:11:27
    action like in contrast to the more sort
  • 00:11:30
    of patient campaigning really sort of
  • 00:11:32
    demonstrates the like the fear that we
  • 00:11:34
    feel like we know that the consequences
  • 00:11:37
    of fossil fuels can be terrifying for us
  • 00:11:41
    and for like Frontline communities um in
  • 00:11:44
    particular and so like create creating
  • 00:11:48
    like a drama a scene for insurers um
  • 00:11:53
    really can help um communicate that
  • 00:11:57
    directly um another thing to say is that
  • 00:12:00
    um as yeah as Jamie said like um
  • 00:12:03
    insurers really like um like things to
  • 00:12:06
    go according to plan so it's It's when
  • 00:12:10
    um when things don't go like that that's
  • 00:12:12
    when they end up paying out and so um
  • 00:12:17
    we're we're going to just run in there
  • 00:12:19
    with like brightly colored banners and
  • 00:12:20
    making loads and loads of noise and
  • 00:12:22
    that's um we really hope that we really
  • 00:12:25
    hope you're going to enjoy doing that
  • 00:12:27
    with us um
  • 00:12:30
    the we now have um some some of these
  • 00:12:33
    tactics like this have been has been
  • 00:12:36
    proven you know as we've said before the
  • 00:12:39
    um the February actions which many of
  • 00:12:41
    you were part of um were like there was
  • 00:12:47
    a very clear link um Zurich insurance
  • 00:12:50
    for example actually reached out to the
  • 00:12:53
    campaign directly and then you know just
  • 00:12:55
    a few weeks later made the announcement
  • 00:12:58
    saying that they were going to um pull
  • 00:13:00
    out of insuring all new oil and gas um
  • 00:13:03
    they are the sixth largest F fossil fuel
  • 00:13:06
    insur on Earth and so we really feel
  • 00:13:09
    like there's a lot of momentum um behind
  • 00:13:12
    this um we we are developing or we we're
  • 00:13:15
    learning from all of the um great
  • 00:13:18
    traditional campaigning that has gone
  • 00:13:21
    before and um we're applying what XR has
  • 00:13:25
    done best um in a in a much more sort of
  • 00:13:28
    targeted way
  • 00:13:29
    um so yeah we really hope that you'll
  • 00:13:31
    join us we hope you'll bring your sort
  • 00:13:33
    of Rebel creativity and courage and um
  • 00:13:36
    we also really want to work alongside
  • 00:13:39
    other groups um and um make you know
  • 00:13:45
    make this as good as we can make it um
  • 00:13:48
    there are lots of different
  • 00:13:50
    targets um there are um lots of
  • 00:13:53
    different types of insurers so it's
  • 00:13:55
    quite important for us to get our
  • 00:13:58
    messaging
  • 00:14:00
    um right and um do this well so um
  • 00:14:04
    hopefully you'll um follow the um the
  • 00:14:09
    messaging the the hopefully you'll
  • 00:14:11
    you'll learn with us about um the
  • 00:14:14
    different the different types of
  • 00:14:16
    insurers and it's obviously quite a
  • 00:14:18
    complicated industry um this is um again
  • 00:14:22
    something that we can benefit from in a
  • 00:14:24
    sustained campaign is by really sort of
  • 00:14:27
    understanding um where where we are able
  • 00:14:30
    to have an effect and where we're not so
  • 00:14:34
    I mean as we've said before um insurance
  • 00:14:37
    we really believe this is good strategy
  • 00:14:40
    that insurance is a an Achilles heel um
  • 00:14:44
    in the sort of the fossil fuel system um
  • 00:14:46
    so uh yeah we really hope we you know
  • 00:14:50
    together we really hope we can get this
  • 00:14:53
    done and really make some progress um so
  • 00:14:55
    thank you very much
  • 00:15:03

  • 00:15:19
    were planning on joining the March for
  • 00:15:21
    clean water on the Saturday before
  • 00:15:23
    ensure our survival um sadly um this has
  • 00:15:26
    now been cancelled due to the organizers
  • 00:15:28
    um by the organizers sorry due to
  • 00:15:30
    threats from the far right so do look
  • 00:15:33

    you're hearing tonight I'm sure you are
  • 00:15:58
    all buzzing and energized by this action
  • 00:16:01
    it's vital for me to say please don't
  • 00:16:03
    underestimate how much of a pivotal role
  • 00:16:06
    you play in the success of ensure our
  • 00:16:08
    survival quite simply we couldn't do
  • 00:16:10
    this without you in whatever capacity
  • 00:16:12
    you can commit to this we'd be grateful
  • 00:16:14
    for it whatever your commitment looks
  • 00:16:16
    like will be different for each and
  • 00:16:18
    every one of you so it's important not
  • 00:16:19
    to put undue pressure on yourself or
  • 00:16:23
    others I must say that at the moment
  • 00:16:25
    much of the specifics are in the making
  • 00:16:27
    which means that the information we're
  • 00:16:29
    able to share tonight is quite sparse
  • 00:16:31
    but don't worry this is just because
  • 00:16:32
    we're kind of kicking off tonight and
  • 00:16:34
    wanted to get you on board um and all on
  • 00:16:36
    the same page sooner rather than later
  • 00:16:39
    so there's going to be more specific
  • 00:16:40
    information to come through in the next
  • 00:16:42
    few days and the next few weeks so keep
  • 00:16:44
    your eyes peeled on Rebellion broadcast
  • 00:16:47
    um we've got a dedicated telegram chat
  • 00:16:49
    and the rebel talk online has um an
  • 00:16:51
    Ensure our survival um bookshelf um and
  • 00:16:54
    both are being linked in the chat right
  • 00:16:56
    now I believe
  • 00:16:59
    thank you Tech
  • 00:17:01
    host uh in the meantime we encourage you
  • 00:17:03
    to think about what role you can play
  • 00:17:05
    reach out to fellow reels and your local
  • 00:17:07
    groups and start thinking about how you
  • 00:17:09
    can get
  • 00:17:10
    creative for instance in your local
  • 00:17:13
    groups you can think about what
  • 00:17:15
    insurance companies exist in your local
  • 00:17:16
    area and whether they'd be good targets
  • 00:17:19
    H I think a Target map is being shared
  • 00:17:21
    at the moment or perhaps you want to
  • 00:17:23
    think about banners and slogans to use
  • 00:17:25
    in your actions or marches if you need
  • 00:17:28
    any inspir for this um have a little
  • 00:17:30
    look at the action pack uh which is
  • 00:17:33
    being shared in the chat right now uh
  • 00:17:35
    this is going to be kind of a working
  • 00:17:36
    document so as more kind of information
  • 00:17:38
    and resources um become created and
  • 00:17:41
    available it'll be kind of updated in
  • 00:17:43
    there so just keep watching that space
  • 00:17:46

  • 00:17:49
    wonderful mutually supportive
  • 00:17:50
    relationship with Community home so
  • 00:17:52
    they'll be working to provide
  • 00:17:54
    accommodation both in London and across
  • 00:17:56
    the regions for ensure our survival and
  • 00:17:59
    the link for that is going in the chat

  • 00:18:20
    your
  • 00:18:21
    requirements
  • 00:18:23
    um I remember staying with local people
  • 00:18:26
    in many parts of the UK and
  • 00:18:29
    um it's an incredible experience to meet
  • 00:18:31
    and connect with new people in this way
  • 00:18:33
    it's very very special H so now it's
  • 00:18:36
    time for some Top Line facts that will
  • 00:18:38
    help you to get
  • 00:18:40
    organized um so insur survival starts
  • 00:18:43
    from Monday the 28th of October it's
  • 00:18:46
    going to be a week of action actions
  • 00:18:48
    will start in the city of London from
  • 00:18:50
    Monday all day Monday Tuesday Wednesday
  • 00:18:53
    and we advise staying Sunday night uh to
  • 00:18:56
    Wednesday night if you're traveling in
  • 00:18:58
    from Thursday actions are going to be
  • 00:19:00
    cascading across the UK for the rest of
  • 00:19:02
    the week um we're committed to being
  • 00:19:04
    accessible so we'll try our very best to
  • 00:19:06
    remove any barriers so this is as
  • 00:19:08
    inclusive as possible the week of action
  • 00:19:11
    will include spicy actions and
  • 00:19:13
    nonviolent direct action and you are
  • 00:19:16
    absolutely critical to help making this
  • 00:19:18
    as effective as it possibly can be the
  • 00:19:21
    bottom line join us let's work together
  • 00:19:24
    to push as many insurers as hard as we
  • 00:19:26
    can and get as many more out of oil gas
  • 00:19:29
    and coal as fast as we
  • 00:19:31
    can and I don't know if I'm passing over
  • 00:19:34
    to somebody else now or if I'm taking
  • 00:19:37
    this next
  • 00:19:40
    B you're up again mate we got double
  • 00:19:42
    Dolly double Dolly time sorry let's
  • 00:19:46
    crack on so direct action um so with any
  • 00:19:51
    multi-day action this is your chance to
  • 00:19:54
    have that impact on the world that being
  • 00:19:56
    an activist is all about in order of
  • 00:19:58
    impact we have options for anyone to
  • 00:20:00
    take action in the following ways so we
  • 00:20:03
    have high risk high high impact direct
  • 00:20:06
    action and these have likely legal
  • 00:20:08
    charges but they really do make a really
  • 00:20:11
    really big
  • 00:20:12
    difference um next on the menu uh
  • 00:20:15
    lowrisk high impact direct action
  • 00:20:17
    targeted actions using tactics that
  • 00:20:20
    worked in the
  • 00:20:22
    springtime um then we have lots of kind
  • 00:20:25
    of roles in action support and other
  • 00:20:27
    roles on actions so your well-being your
  • 00:20:30
    stewarding um moving banners and flags
  • 00:20:33
    around the place um all really really
  • 00:20:36
    vital roles um and then we have mass
  • 00:20:38
    action so either supporting direct
  • 00:20:41
    action um or confronting its own targets
  • 00:20:46
    um so yeah all the mass action details
  • 00:20:48
    are going to be posted out on Rebellion
  • 00:20:50
    broadcast with meeting places and times
  • 00:20:52
    and what's going on um so this October
  • 00:20:56
    is our chance to cancel more EOS side
  • 00:20:58
    and emissions and stop more insurers
  • 00:21:00
    from accelerating as faster towards
  • 00:21:02
    collapse so if you'd like to get
  • 00:21:04
    involved in direct action rather mass
  • 00:21:06
    action are taking a support role both of
  • 00:21:09
    which are super important necessary and
  • 00:21:11
    valued and likely to be well covered
  • 00:21:13
    then this is the best thing XR have
  • 00:21:16
    planned in the UK to do that
  • 00:21:18
    act as an mvda Movement we rely on
  • 00:21:21
    enough people to start their direct
  • 00:21:23
    action journey to maintain our ability
  • 00:21:25
    to affect change in the world for most
  • 00:21:28
    of that started with taking direct
  • 00:21:30
    action locally or at a rebellion or big
  • 00:21:33
    actions week then going from there but
  • 00:21:36
    some start with planning actions or
  • 00:21:37
    higher risk actions and any of these
  • 00:21:39
    roots are valid whatever works for
  • 00:21:42
    you so every major mobilization like
  • 00:21:45
    this is an opportunity for all Rebels to
  • 00:21:47
    start or progress on their activist
  • 00:21:49
    development and we'd love to welcome
  • 00:21:51
    action takers new and returning into
  • 00:21:54
    both the actions and action planning
  • 00:21:56
    teams every single person doing that
  • 00:21:59
    enables us to increase our combined
  • 00:22:01
    impact probably more than any other
  • 00:22:04
    role so we we aim to support all local
  • 00:22:07
    groups and regions and Nations to Target
  • 00:22:09
    their local dirty insurers and the link
  • 00:22:12

    been doing this for a long time and like
  • 00:23:48
    have figured out a lot of um a lot about
  • 00:23:51
    the insurance industry about individual
  • 00:23:54
    companies about um ways that they could
  • 00:23:56
    you know things that they're doing bad
  • 00:23:58
    things that they could do better and so
  • 00:24:01
    as an Outreach you can benefit from all
  • 00:24:03
    that information but what you do that's
  • 00:24:05
    really really special is to really get
  • 00:24:07
    up in people's faces like you're there
  • 00:24:09
    on the street they don't they didn't
  • 00:24:11
    imagine having a conversation with you
  • 00:24:13
    but you're right there and you're
  • 00:24:14
    forcing the conversation this is crucial
  • 00:24:17
    direct action um in progress so yeah um
  • 00:24:22
    Outreach can be really hard like wow
  • 00:24:26
    I've I've um I've found I found some
  • 00:24:29
    conversations on streets in the city of
  • 00:24:31
    London really just really get your heart
  • 00:24:32
    going and are really just
  • 00:24:34
    like just really terrifying um but you
  • 00:24:38
    guys I know some of you guys are
  • 00:24:40
    absolutely incredible at it so um it's
  • 00:24:43
    you know we've got to be outside of our
  • 00:24:45
    comfort zone um at this time right uh
  • 00:24:50
    so yes uh please fill out that form you
  • 00:24:54
    can have an enormous impact that way um
  • 00:24:56
    other action support roles there are
  • 00:24:58
    um deescalation so yeah some of the
  • 00:25:01
    things that we're probably going to do
  • 00:25:02
    might might get people a little fired
  • 00:25:05
    upright so having trained sort of
  • 00:25:07
    de-escalates people that are very
  • 00:25:10
    very excellent at bringing calm to tense
  • 00:25:13
    situations um those guys are crucial um
  • 00:25:17
    I know some of you are very good at that
  • 00:25:19
    um stewards lots of stewards wellbeing
  • 00:25:22
    and first
  • 00:25:23
    aid um XR is absolutely um renowned for
  • 00:25:28
    for um these kinds of roles um
  • 00:25:31
    production is in there so that is
  • 00:25:33
    helping um set the whole thing up bring
  • 00:25:35
    it all about um Logistics Sound and
  • 00:25:37
    Power food there's lots of different um
  • 00:25:40
    roles in there and then um things like
  • 00:25:43
    banner and flag holder um you may be
  • 00:25:45
    able to do that just by showing up but
  • 00:25:47
    it's extra good if you can um sign up
  • 00:25:50
    for it in advance that really helps the
  • 00:25:53
    whole thing go much more smoothly um and
  • 00:25:56
    then rhythms that's another thing that
  • 00:25:59
    um a lot of us absolutely love doing so
  • 00:26:02
    um so yeah get involved um we what else
  • 00:26:06
    to say we have um there are some
  • 00:26:08
    creative team roles um that you
  • 00:26:12
    hopefully will get um later
  • 00:26:16
    um email to you perhaps and then um yeah
  • 00:26:20
    so I think you need to ask within local
  • 00:26:23
    groups and regions to um for other for
  • 00:26:28
    other roles and other details but
  • 00:26:30
    um yes hope we we expect training to be
  • 00:26:34
    offered um and yeah this is absolutely
  • 00:26:38
    crucial the more this is you know the
  • 00:26:40
    more we can prepare the better it will
  • 00:26:42
    be so yeah thanks a lot I hand it back

    up with that question and the team will
  • 00:28:50
    do their best to get back to you great
  • 00:28:53
    so let's then open it up and um those of
  • 00:28:57
    us who've hosted we'll we'll try and
  • 00:28:59
    answer some of these questions I can
  • 00:29:01
    take one um there's a question from Bob
  • 00:29:03
    ench who says are these dirty insurers
  • 00:29:06
    the same as companies that the public
  • 00:29:09
    uses for home and car insurance and so
  • 00:29:13
    absolutely some of the insurers of big
  • 00:29:17
    fossil fuel projects are the exact same
  • 00:29:19
    companies that um that advertis to the
  • 00:29:22
    public and um cover home and car
  • 00:29:24
    insurance an example of that is Zurich
  • 00:29:27
    Zurich and insurance that um we targeted
  • 00:29:30
    back in February and that made that
  • 00:29:32
    announcement that they were going to
  • 00:29:33
    pull out of oil colon new oil oil coing
  • 00:29:37
    gas project so those companies that um
  • 00:29:41
    advertise to the public are absolutely
  • 00:29:43
    they're the most um susceptible to
  • 00:29:48
    public campaigns um that that we're able
  • 00:29:51
    to um you know we're able to get their
  • 00:29:54
    name in The Press and stuff like that
  • 00:29:57
    however there are lots and lots of other
  • 00:29:59
    companies specialty insurers there are
  • 00:30:01
    lots of insurance companies that almost
  • 00:30:04
    that don't deal with the public they
  • 00:30:06
    deal with companies only um those names
  • 00:30:10
    you would have heard of a lot less um
  • 00:30:13
    and
  • 00:30:14
    so it's um we can put pressure on them
  • 00:30:19
    but we'd have to do it in a different
  • 00:30:20
    way so um the another part of the
  • 00:30:23
    question was if so can we all switch
  • 00:30:26
    providers to ones that are not dirty and
  • 00:30:28
    that is a possibility um there are some
  • 00:30:31
    ways of doing that yes and I think we
  • 00:30:33
    should include that in messaging
  • 00:30:35
    although I would say by and large like
  • 00:30:37
    as XR like our role is for sort of
  • 00:30:40
    direct action campaigns and maybe to
  • 00:30:41
    connect to the sort of boycott campaigns
  • 00:30:44
    of other other organizations but thanks
  • 00:30:47
    a lot for that
  • 00:30:53
    question thanks Alex um there's a couple
  • 00:30:56
    of questions getting answered in the
  • 00:30:58
    chat I wanted to pick out one
  • 00:31:01
    um which is um which insurers are we
  • 00:31:06
    targeting for the animal agriculture
  • 00:31:08
    industry thanks for the question Justin
  • 00:31:10
    it's
  • 00:31:11
    um it's one of the weird things when you
  • 00:31:13
    start looking into insurance they don't
  • 00:31:15
    need to tell anybody what they are or
  • 00:31:18
    aren't insuring even a lot of the staff
  • 00:31:20
    at these companies don't know that as
  • 00:31:23
    well as selling pet insurance to France
  • 00:31:25
    they're also you know um enabling you
  • 00:31:29
    know hundreds and hundreds of of oil
  • 00:31:31
    rigs in the North Sea so it's hard to be
  • 00:31:34
    able to map out exactly which insurer is
  • 00:31:37
    is responsible for which thing but the
  • 00:31:39
    ones that are the dirty insurers on our
  • 00:31:41
    map those are the ones that we know for
  • 00:31:43
    sure are insuring oil gas and coal
  • 00:31:46
    assets so the large infrastructure
  • 00:31:48
    that's required for oil gas and coal
  • 00:31:51
    most of the ones there that are on that
  • 00:31:53
    dirt Insurance map will be the same ones
  • 00:31:55
    that are also ensuring large scale
  • 00:31:57
    animal agriculture they're the insurers
  • 00:32:00
    that that underwrite so cover um large
  • 00:32:04
    uh assets whether it be a dozen
  • 00:32:06
    oceangoing barges or 24 milk farms in
  • 00:32:09
    China you need to go to these same
  • 00:32:11
    people to get them covered so whilst we
  • 00:32:14
    can't say for sure it's very likely it's
  • 00:32:16
    the same insurers um the ones that would
  • 00:32:19
    be on the sort of clean Insurance list
  • 00:32:21
    if you want to change your insurance and
  • 00:32:23
    you're with one of the big Global you
  • 00:32:25
    know AXA zorich AIG these kind of
  • 00:32:28
    companies um they're the dirty home
  • 00:32:30
    insurers that also do oil gas and coal
  • 00:32:33
    they probably do livestock farming as
  • 00:32:34
    well because you have to be of a certain
  • 00:32:36
    scale if you want to move to a cleaner
  • 00:32:37
    insurer that might be like in the UK it
  • 00:32:39
    might be someone like Hastings direct or
  • 00:32:41
    Royal and Sun Alliance who don't do that
  • 00:32:43
    large infrastructure Insurance um so if
  • 00:32:47
    you wanted to move away from an insurer
  • 00:32:50
    that is likely to to ensure livestock
  • 00:32:53
    farming then that would be a pretty
  • 00:32:55
    clear indication as well because those
  • 00:32:57
    those sort of clean uh firms in in oil
  • 00:33:01
    gas and coal terms don't offer that kind
  • 00:33:03
    of insurance that's why they're clean
  • 00:33:05
    they don't offer Insurance to to to gas
  • 00:33:07
    and coal extraction and they wouldn't be
  • 00:33:09
    able to offer it to a mega Farm um
  • 00:33:12
    producing all the milk that China
  • 00:33:17
    demands hello I can see a message from
  • 00:33:20
    Andrew Brown in the chat asking if we
  • 00:33:22
    have a full media strategy um and
  • 00:33:25
    offering to be able to help with this um
  • 00:33:28
    which could be useful we do have a media
  • 00:33:29
    strategy but um always kind of looking
  • 00:33:32
    for people with kind of skills and
  • 00:33:34
    experience and a willingness to
  • 00:33:35
    volunteer their time um I'm wondering if
  • 00:33:38
    a techie person can put our email
  • 00:33:40
    address back in the chat um if you could
  • 00:33:42
    drop us a um email Andrew it' be great
  • 00:33:45
    to have a little chat with you about
  • 00:33:46
    your experience and how you might be
  • 00:33:48
    able to
  • 00:33:49
    help thank
  • 00:33:56
    you um going to take a question from Kev
  • 00:33:59
    saying um I get what you're trying to I
  • 00:34:01
    get what you're attempting but why how
  • 00:34:04
    hurtfully financially is it to the
  • 00:34:07
    fossil fuel project can they just carry
  • 00:34:09
    on and afford it and I think this is a
  • 00:34:12
    good question and I mean the truthful
  • 00:34:14
    answer is we don't know like we are just
  • 00:34:16
    really it is a desperate situation you
  • 00:34:19
    guys and we are trying what we can we
  • 00:34:21
    feel like this is really good strategy
  • 00:34:24
    um the example of Zurich I think shows
  • 00:34:27
    that um these big big companies these
  • 00:34:29
    are billion pound companies they are
  • 00:34:32
    listening they are like very aware of
  • 00:34:35
    what we're doing and they their the
  • 00:34:38
    public part of their business is huge
  • 00:34:41
    and the fossil fuel part of their
  • 00:34:42
    business they can actually let that go
  • 00:34:45
    so it we believe we hope that the fossil
  • 00:34:48
    fuel industry needs Insurance more than
  • 00:34:51
    insurance needs the fossil fuel industry
  • 00:34:53
    and so you know um the successes that
  • 00:34:56
    we've already had really really give us
  • 00:34:58
    confidence that this is hurting them um
  • 00:35:02
    but yeah we will have to we we we can
  • 00:35:05
    only keep trying to really um find out
  • 00:35:08
    how far this um approach will will
  • 00:35:12
    succeed so thanks for the
  • 00:35:15
    question thank you Alex um I'm going to
  • 00:35:17
    pick up the question from David thank
  • 00:35:19
    you for that one David it's particularly
  • 00:35:20
    regards uh an individual insurer called
  • 00:35:22
    Howden those of you who've already
  • 00:35:24
    looked at the dirty insurers map um
  • 00:35:27
    there's company called Howden which have
  • 00:35:28
    the most um locations up and down the UK
  • 00:35:33
    and that's because as well as ensuring
  • 00:35:35
    major oil gas and coal assets they have
  • 00:35:37
    a different division of the business
  • 00:35:39
    which helps um ordinary families and
  • 00:35:42
    households in the UK to find cheaper or
  • 00:35:45
    better car home and pet insurance so
  • 00:35:48
    sort of retail Consumer Insurance so
  • 00:35:51
    with the specific question with regards
  • 00:35:53
    howdens howdens are one of the many
  • 00:35:55
    insurers that talk a good game and try
  • 00:35:58
    to hide their involvement in oil gas and
  • 00:36:00
    coal as well as other um industries that
  • 00:36:04
    that people might have issue with so
  • 00:36:07
    that it doesn't cost them money on the
  • 00:36:09
    consumer side so how's a very good
  • 00:36:12
    example of this I've shared a link in
  • 00:36:13
    the chat there which takes you to their
  • 00:36:15
    page detailing the kind of cover that
  • 00:36:17
    they provide if you're a Midstream oil
  • 00:36:20
    or gas operation and that's the part of
  • 00:36:23
    the oil oil and gas operation that gets
  • 00:36:25
    it from where it's extracted to the
  • 00:36:27
    refineries you don't have a team dealing
  • 00:36:29
    with Midstream if you're not dealing
  • 00:36:30
    with oil and gas so how very clearly are
  • 00:36:34
    dealing with oil and gas we believe
  • 00:36:36
    they're also dealing with coal they're
  • 00:36:38
    very Cy about it though because they
  • 00:36:39
    spend a lot of money on greenwashing PR
  • 00:36:42
    and that's a very common thing across
  • 00:36:43
    insurers um if you look for example at
  • 00:36:46
    AXA AXA May major Global General insurer
  • 00:36:48
    they've got a a policy excluding new oil
  • 00:36:52
    gas and coal projects unless the company
  • 00:36:55
    involved has uh well publicized
  • 00:36:58
    transition plan a green transition plan
  • 00:37:01
    which is BP shell Exxon right they're
  • 00:37:03
    all spending billions on their PR
  • 00:37:06
    greenwashing Division and acts as saying
  • 00:37:08
    you know we'll only we'll only build
  • 00:37:10
    your new we'll only ensure your new
  • 00:37:12
    pipeline build if you're spending
  • 00:37:13
    billions on greenwashing well Howden is
  • 00:37:16
    saying you know we're we're cutting our
  • 00:37:18
    our our own we're putting in
  • 00:37:20
    sustainability and our own operations
  • 00:37:22
    but at the same time they're
  • 00:37:25
    representing uh projects that will be
  • 00:37:28
    hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
  • 00:37:30
    millions of tons of carbon emissions
  • 00:37:32
    every year so there will be a dossier
  • 00:37:36
    coming out from the team on Howen um but
  • 00:37:38
    we believe they're a very valid Target
  • 00:37:40
    and that they are trying to pull the wo
  • 00:37:42
    over your eyes so look a bit deeper uh
  • 00:37:45
    and we'll provide some links to do that
  • 00:37:47
    beyond the um the the clear evidence on
  • 00:37:49
    their website there's also quite a lot
  • 00:37:51
    of evidence if you dig a bit deeper that
  • 00:37:53
    they're hiring a lot of oil gas and coal
  • 00:37:56
    Specialists people who you know have
  • 00:37:58
    connections with the fossil fuel
  • 00:38:00
    industry they're hiring more and more of
  • 00:38:01
    them into the team and looking to expand
  • 00:38:03
    that operation so the High Street people
  • 00:38:06
    absolutely not not uh insuring Global
  • 00:38:09
    pipelines because they're you know
  • 00:38:10
    talking to people on the High Street
  • 00:38:12
    about their home insurance but the other
  • 00:38:14
    part of the business in London
  • 00:38:15
    absolutely is and it's expanding
  • 00:38:17
    internationally it's one of their
  • 00:38:18
    fastest growing areas as far as we can
  • 00:38:23
    tell I see a question from Aaron saying
  • 00:38:27
    is is it not the case that big oil and
  • 00:38:29
    gas
  • 00:38:30
    conglomerate mostly self-insure large
  • 00:38:33
    projects so really big projects like the
  • 00:38:35
    ECOT pipeline involves an enormous
  • 00:38:38
    number of different stages all sorts of
  • 00:38:41
    different components moving
  • 00:38:43
    Parts some countries these are like
  • 00:38:45
    incredibly complicated projects to to to
  • 00:38:48
    do but also to ensure many many
  • 00:38:52
    insurance companies are involved and so
  • 00:38:54
    for um an oil and gas conglomerate to
  • 00:38:58
    ensure that itself it would have to
  • 00:39:00
    learn a lot of different sectors
  • 00:39:02
    construction and kinds of things but it
  • 00:39:04
    would also have to really win the trust
  • 00:39:07
    of the companies that are doing this so
  • 00:39:10
    it's not technically possible it's not
  • 00:39:12
    technically impossible for um oil and
  • 00:39:15
    gas conglomerates to um to do to
  • 00:39:19
    self-insure um and they do in some cases
  • 00:39:22
    but it's not it's not as simple as that
  • 00:39:24
    so for um the major insurers that have
  • 00:39:27
    all that experience to pull out would be
  • 00:39:29
    an enormously damaging for them um but
  • 00:39:33
    thank you very much for the
  • 00:39:35
    question thanks Alex um I'll add on to
  • 00:39:38
    that before responding to another
  • 00:39:39
    question in the chat I think it's called
  • 00:39:41
    captive Insurance isn't it where the
  • 00:39:43
    company insures itself um and with that
  • 00:39:46
    comes an enormous amount of risk if
  • 00:39:48
    there's kind of um a pipeline leak or
  • 00:39:51
    anything like that it falls on the
  • 00:39:53
    company themselves to um pay out for
  • 00:39:55
    that and that's not really a risk that
  • 00:39:57
    they're really wanting to take because
  • 00:40:01
    they know the risks um but I just saw a
  • 00:40:03
    message in the chat from Rebecca um who
  • 00:40:06
    says is there one day that's more
  • 00:40:08
    important it was useful in February for
  • 00:40:10
    people who could only come for one day
  • 00:40:11
    to know which one uh I would say the
  • 00:40:14
    Monday um I think big and I don't know
  • 00:40:18
    if anyone's disagreeing with me up there
  • 00:40:20
    um Monday I think um yeah coming to
  • 00:40:23
    London all together being big and loud
  • 00:40:26
    and creative and balsy um not only is it
  • 00:40:29
    like a really good day for the media to
  • 00:40:31
    come and get involved and see what we're
  • 00:40:32
    doing and spread that story um it's also
  • 00:40:36
    on social media will'll kind of show
  • 00:40:38
    everybody else that's not there on
  • 00:40:39
    Monday what they're missing out on um
  • 00:40:41
    and then they'll all be there on Tuesday
  • 00:40:43
    I
  • 00:40:45
    think thanks Dolly I think we're coming
  • 00:40:47
    to the end of our time for questions but
  • 00:40:48
    there's one that I saw which I'd love to
  • 00:40:50
    respond to if dolly or Alex would like
  • 00:40:52
    to take one more each then feel free um
  • 00:40:56
    K and Manchester has asked um about
  • 00:40:58
    zorich so we talked earlier about Zurich
  • 00:41:00
    who in the spring made a big of
  • 00:41:01
    announcement um they put in place much
  • 00:41:04
    more watertight policy about not
  • 00:41:06
    insuring new oil gas and coal as a
  • 00:41:09
    result of you know huge pressure from um
  • 00:41:13
    the other parts of insurance campaigning
  • 00:41:15
    and then a final push from us with
  • 00:41:17
    direct action in the spring so zk's got
  • 00:41:19
    one of the best policies now in the
  • 00:41:20
    world about not insuring new oil gas and
  • 00:41:22
    coal instead of saying you know you got
  • 00:41:24
    to have the green wash they say you've
  • 00:41:26
    got to have a transition plan and be
  • 00:41:28
    progressing with it so you've got to
  • 00:41:29
    actually be walking the path not just
  • 00:41:30
    talking the walk talking the talk um
  • 00:41:34
    even with that announcement though
  • 00:41:35
    Zurich Remain the sixth largest insurer
  • 00:41:37
    of fossil fuel assets worldwide because
  • 00:41:40
    of all the deals they'd already done at
  • 00:41:42
    that point so if you have home insurance
  • 00:41:45
    with Zurich they are still charging you
  • 00:41:48
    to increase the chances that your home
  • 00:41:53
    floods Zur Global Insurance is still
  • 00:41:56
    flooding Farms destabilizing the food
  • 00:41:59
    supply chain driving food inflation and
  • 00:42:02
    increasing the chances of food shortages
  • 00:42:05
    because they're the sixth largest
  • 00:42:07
    insurer of fossil fuel assets worldwide
  • 00:42:09
    just because they're not doing any new
  • 00:42:11
    dirt it doesn't take away the dirt
  • 00:42:12
    they're already doing so for this insur
  • 00:42:15
    survival campaign the first stage is to
  • 00:42:17
    get companies to do a zorich and say
  • 00:42:20
    we're not going to you know put water
  • 00:42:21
    type policy in place saying we're not
  • 00:42:23
    going to do new oil gas and coal we're
  • 00:42:25
    not going to support expanding but the
  • 00:42:27
    second stage will be for companies like
  • 00:42:29
    Zurich who've already got a good policy
  • 00:42:31
    to apply it to renewals so if they apply
  • 00:42:34
    that same policy when somebody comes
  • 00:42:35
    saying will you extend your renewal you
  • 00:42:39
    will you will you carry on insuring BPS
  • 00:42:42
    offshore oil rigs for another year at
  • 00:42:44
    the same price they could say well no
  • 00:42:46
    actually you know you've got to you've
  • 00:42:48
    got to abide Now by this policy and then
  • 00:42:50
    BP would have to go find another insurer
  • 00:42:52
    probably have to pay quite a bit more
  • 00:42:54
    for the on for for the existing dirt
  • 00:42:56
    yeah
  • 00:42:57
    so I hope that's clear for everybody um
  • 00:42:59
    it doesn't mean that Zurich are the good
  • 00:43:01
    guys all of a sudden but we do thank
  • 00:43:03
    them for taking a step and now taking a
  • 00:43:05
    lead in The Marketplace and being out
  • 00:43:07
    ahead of everybody else in their policy
  • 00:43:09
    on new o gas and
  • 00:43:12
    coal thanks tamie um I've noticed a
  • 00:43:15
    couple of questions in the chat around
  • 00:43:16
    kind of finer details like dress code
  • 00:43:20
    and um are we going to surround the
  • 00:43:22
    Lloyd's building um so all this is to
  • 00:43:24
    come um there are teams of action
  • 00:43:25
    planners at the moment busy in away so I
  • 00:43:28
    expect to see messages on Rebellion
  • 00:43:30
    broadcast over the next coming few weeks
  • 00:43:34
    um letting people know kind of the
  • 00:43:35
    themes of the day what to wear what to
  • 00:43:37
    bring how to get involved um so yeah
  • 00:43:42
    that's all to play for at the moment
  • 00:43:43
    keep your eyes
  • 00:43:48
    peeled thanks Dolly um there might be
  • 00:43:50
    time for one more question if there's
  • 00:43:51
    one you got your eye on Alex
  • 00:43:59
    I don't see any
  • 00:44:01
    left scroll down the page
  • 00:44:23
    Alex there's one about Brokers there
  • 00:44:26
    that I thought was in interesting
  • 00:44:29
    um some of the targets of insurance
  • 00:44:31
    brokers um that wasn't responded to yet
  • 00:44:33
    was it uh that Source insurance for
  • 00:44:36
    customers are they all arranging dirty
  • 00:44:38
    Insurance
  • 00:44:41
    projects I'll go on that um I guess
  • 00:44:45
    there are Brokers that um do home car
  • 00:44:49
    pet insurance that are not uring big oil
  • 00:44:53
    and gas projects um how then as Jamie
  • 00:44:57
    mentioned are an a broker that is has
  • 00:45:00
    High Street branches and is like
  • 00:45:02
    actively marketing to the public but
  • 00:45:05
    also they are ensuring like oil and gas
  • 00:45:09
    um while making a big performance about
  • 00:45:11
    how they uh are very ethical and like um
  • 00:45:16
