"Just stop oil"

Allegedly causing them to be involved in a collision, video is the aftermath.

No, I probably wouldn't try to kick someone in the head while they're on the ground and pose no threat to me.

In my opinion I'm a pretty chill person and generally, or at least try to be, understanding when someone else causes an incident, etc. but if my car was damaged due to people like this I'd likely see red and have to really dig deep to find restraint, especially as in this instant it looks like the occupants of the car were quite shaken up even though the damage wasn't massive though not sure what the actual cause of the incident was - the reports seem to indicate the motorist was upset at being filmed.

Of course the people are eventually going to start kicking the crap out of them because the police are doing nothing. If it was me in that accident caused by these ******** I wouldn't be holding back either.
 
Police inaction has caused this. Life is pretty tough for a lot of people right now, tempers are starting to fray and although the JSO cause is admirable it's timing couldn't be worse and yes, I realise there will never been a convenient time to address the issue but when people are struggling to feed their families and get to work I imagine climate change is probably the last thing on peoples minds right now.

Bingo. I expect it'd just a matter of time before some poor sod whose trying to get to work to pay his now £500 more expensive mortgage after getting ripped by energy bills for 2 years comes into contact with JSO.
 
what warning is there about there protests, or just spontaneous - do people add them to WAZE

Attacker, when he hands himself in, will be done for GBH.

I’d have to agree, and I think for a lot of people, when the adrenaline is flowing would lose their **** if this lot were the cause.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Video shows a clear kick to someone's head whilst their lying prone on the ground. He may get lucky considering the situation and with the personal circumstances surrounding his wife (pregnant) Dropped to ABH if lucky?

I've been thinking about my boiler situation, because I know we're looking to all individuals to reduce their fossil fuel usage. It's just really problematic though, the air source heat pump just can't be the solution that gets us where we need to be. We need better technology. Here's my thought process so you can all rage at me while I'm watching Wimbledon.

My circumstances:
I have a 10 year old gas boiler and a hot water tank. I have a very well insulated modern house. The hot water tank is a problem because ultimately the heat ends up in the house and the house gets too hot. When my boiler dies I want to get a combi boiler instead and remove the hot water tank.

Side effects:
The immersion heater in the hot water tank is broken so that saves me fixing it. I could also use the storage space I'd get from removing the hot water tank. The boiler is right below my bedroom so when it clicks on in the morning to heat the hot water sometimes the noise wakes me up so it would be great for that to not happen anymore.

What I think the government want me to do:
When my boiler dies they want me to get an air source heat pump. This will require me to keep the hot water tank.

The air con situation:
I'll have to get split air con soon because summers are getting unbearable. The heat from the hot water tank will trigger the air con to turn on, which isn't good for my bills or the environment.

Longer term:
If I remove the hot water tank then at some point in the future I have no choice but to install a heat pump then I'll have ended up removing the hot water tank just to put it back again at a later date.

Just get a gas combi boiler.

Just his face in that picture makes me want to smack him one... :p

It's inevitable really. When the public lose faith in the police to do their job, is it any surprise they start doing it for them? No, I'm not suggesting the police would have started kicking him when he was on the ground, but they should be removing them from the road - by force if necessary, and arresting them, with imprisonment to follow if they keep repeating the offence.

Protesting - fine
Blocking people from going about their business - not cool :(

What is it about them that elicits that reaction though? I'm a very chill person too and it would take a lot for me to physically react to something that doesn't have any effect on my person. I can understand pushing them out the way or ripping up their banners, to lamp him and then continue while the guy is on the ground... how is that justified considering how inoffensive their form of protesting is.

I can only tell you from my own personal experience with anger issues that its very easy to lose control. I've battled my temper all of my life and the times I've lost control it's only ever brought me misery, but people with real anger issues can fly off the handle at the smallest of provocations. I do personally try to keep it in check though and it has gotten easier. I try to be sensible and not put myself in situations that annoy me. I even leave 1 hour earlier in the morning to miss the traffic and end up giving work and additional hour. I'd struggle in the situation we're discussing.

I should add. It was having an effect on this person. They literally just had an accident in the car (regardless of fault) his wife is pregnant and JSO show up. That's a stressful situation
