"Just stop oil"

either way it is slanderous isnt it ? the whole rules in that place boggle me. You are not allowed to call out a person who is quite clearly lying for lying...... but at the same time you can spout utter nonsense which is demonstrably not true (unless she has proof that the labour party or what ever have officially endoursed the sewage pouring , road gluing bridge climbing numpties in which point lets see the proof).

So seems to me they can make lies up about people but the recipients of said BS cant fire back and tell them to stop telling lies.

The whole system is not fit for the 21st century.
 
Yesterday I wondered why the police had been told to not use their powers to remove these protestors. Today I've found out why.

These Just Stop Oil protests are a backdrop to a bill that as just gone through Parliament yesterday that will put severe restrictions on future protests, and goes far beyond that.

There as been a near media blackout on reporting of this bill.

Tories: Putin and Xi bad.
Also Tories: But they have some nice ideas.
 
They've been talking about it since the BLM protests so I'm not 100% sure how that's secret. I doubt our government or police could organise any conspiracy at the moment tbh! They are all useless

Jan 22 Protest -

ooooo I take it back... maybe you *cant* always spout slanderous lies willy nilly after all.... Braverman is out. Am glad, a horrible woman. I hope they get someone more balanced in.

edit... maybe not, her resignation letter has been published, turns out that was not the (only) thing that she did wrong which should be a sackable offence.

I got a random idea in my head that these protestors are all paid for by the government or youth members of one of the parties.

The idea is to get the public on side to have a total ban on any form of protest

Just Stop Oil bankrolled by group part-funded by oil heiress :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:




Just cant make this up.

American film director, producer, screenwriter, and comedian Adam McKay also sits on the board of the CEF and has pledged $4 million (£3.5 million) to the fund. Abigail Disney has also donated $200,000 (£178,000).

Trevor Neilson, an American businessman and Rory Kennedy, the youngest daughter of former US attorney general Robert Kennedy, have also donated to CEF since it was set up in 2019.


let's hate daddy. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Why can't people just move them out of the way? Not meaning vigilante "beat them up" stuff or gratuitous violence, just like pick them up and move them over to the pavement.

Because as soon as they do that they move back onto the road. You have to immobilize them permanently. I just don't understand why a van doesn't just roll up, put them in the back and roll away, these protesters can be dealt with in a matter of minutes and held under the mental health act for a few days immediately popping their protests.

I mean, you have to be mentally ill to sit in traffic, they have to be assessed properly for suicidal thoughts and that might take a while ;)

The two protestors that caused the QE2 bridge to be closed have been charged with causing a public nuisance. It will be interesting to see what sentence they receieve given the cost to the country was very significant. The maximum prison sentence they could receive is up to ten years inside, if tried in a Crown court ("on indictment"). If summarily convicted (in a magistrate's court for example), the maximum sentence is 12 months in prison as far as I know. There may have been pretty recent changes to the relevant act.

They should get the maximum sentence the law allows otherwise they'll just be doing it again next week.

We all know what a pathetic shambles our judicial system is, they will end up with a £200 fine and let go with a dont do it again you naughty person speech. Thats all.
 
I wonder, had they closed a toll bridge if the bridge owners could have brought a private prosecution for loss of earnings? As one of them is of "no fixed abode" it probably doesn't bode well for any significant fine being able to be paid however. Sadly I think Tombstone is probably correct and the liberal elements of our current judiciary will show their usual lack of mettle.
 
Prisons are completely full, is it really a good idea to lock up these people when people done for robbery, assault, and other serious crimes don’t get a prison sentence.

I think a tagging order and a fine is more apt.

There’s a separate debate about a need for more prisons, but whilst we don’t have any room to put any more in jail isn’t it better that violent criminals are put in jail rather than a few blokes up a bridge.

Again, to caveat this, I’m not saying what they did was right but I think that whilst our jails are massively over crowded we shouldn’t be putting non violent protesters in there.

In an ideal world there’d be plenty prison space but there isn’t so we need to ask ourselves these questions.
