Well if they stayed completely clear and washed their hands of the whole thing then that would be fine! Problem comes if an 'activist' reports assault or dangerous driving or whatever from whoever drags them off or pushes them out of the way. At that point there's no guarantee the police will stay away...or the police could just stay well clear and I'm sure someone would move them

I'm getting sick of the media news channels having them on their shows all the time.
They are inflating their position.
Get some of the public who were stopped in their vehicles on the shows. Be balanced about the coverage at least.

What's that member of the public gonna say?
"Yeah, being delayed is inconvenient, please dont".
Were your Just Eat and Lego orders delayed?

I noticed another video of them earlier today, an ambulance and a fire engine, both on blue lights were trying to get through. But the protesters were blocking the road.. AND the police were standing around doing nothing.
I think its becoming obvious that the higher ups have told the beat police not to remove the protesters unless they really have to.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I lost a loved one because these vermin delayed the emergency services, I'd very likely take one for the team and force the governmemt to act.

No, but they got in the way of a father taking their baby to the hospital
That's bad but I'm glad you're OK.
Caporegime
What’s your point exactly?
1. Obstructing a baby going to the hospital is bad.
2. I'm glad your home deliveries weren't affected.

You’re being very sarcy towards me and tbh, I’m puzzled why. I can only assume you agree with the protesters.
He is a bit of a "simple" protagonist. Like me, but with zero bants or content to offer. Just ignore.

I see the point of the protesters, they're getting straight to the root cause: Just stop oil!
Why don't people just stop world hunger. Just stop it and we'll live happily ever after!

You've no idea if I agree with their aims or not. What I have made clear is I disagree with their methods.
Damn, burned by Mr Low Content.

I see the idiots have been at it again;

I am starting to wonder if these people are being allowed to do this on purpose, for whatever reason.
If this was any other non-environmental group the police would have been all over them, arresting them all.
But these seem to get a free reign to cause havoc.
The media keep inviting these activists on all the time. The whole issue is being enhanced by them being on the front pages, in the news bulletins, being interviewed on every channel.
It's starting to get suspicious.
Just Stop Oil protesters throw tomato soup over Van Gogh's Sunflowers masterpiece
Two people were arrested for criminal damage and aggravated trespass, before officers began "de-bonding" their hands that they had glued to the wall.

So sad seeing them try to needlessly destroy priceless irreplaceable things like this.
I hope the painting can be saved.

Luckily it was covered by a sheet of glass. Still doesn’t excuse these bunch of absolute throbbers!

Perhaps if the parents of these scrotes had their driving licences revoked (to save oil...) they might take appropriate action to keep their kids under proper restraint and control.
Sounds like they are targeting things that can be easily fixed rather than destroying art. Gets their message out with zero harm. Seems a good way to protest imo.
