‘Insulate Britain’ blocking motorways.

[Escape]

Why didn't anyone point out that the recent problems with fuel distribution were caused by these activists disrupting traffic? It might only have played a small part but if you dig deep enough you're sure to find a causal effect for at least one fuel station. That should have turned public opinion even further and maybe the protesters themselves would even have though twice about what consequences their actions can have.

Luckily we've been spared from protest like that in Belgium for some years now, but if I were to find myself stuck in a traffic jam because of it I'd surely get out and try to clear the road. Just as I would and have gotten out to help people get stranded cars out of the way to clear the road.

Let’s turn this around and look at predominantly hot countries. Are people lying in the streets to demand that all properties have their air conditioning units disconnected due to the colossal impact their frequent use must have on climate change? Maybe the same UK protesters can try it out when they go on holiday?

The protesters will be back on the M25 from the 25th. Let's hope the police they out their new powers

JCB, big front bucket, scoop the twits out of the way and dump them in the back of a high sided truck, preferably one that had recently been used to transport slurry, before it had been cleaned.

Job done. Protestors get on the news as they wished, and everyone else can get on with their lives without being inconvenienced.

Sorted.

Heartless bugger.

 

At least put some home insulation in the truck bed first.

14mins long - much of which is Richard Madely (hence I apologise wholeheartedly), but I thought this was a fascinating insight into their approach and thinking.
 

Won’t answer questions ‘cos they aren’t the right questions…..

@mik I managed to get to almost 5 minutes in but then had to hit 'Stop' otherwise my PC monitor was going to suffer irreparable damage.

Jeez!!!! We've got to look forward to being entertained by them in the streets of Glasgow for the next 2 weeks, . I won't be going anywhere near the place as I'm not sure I could resist the urge to decorate them with something a bit more pungent than ink - 2 large dogs can provide a plentiful supply, .

I bookmarked this site, as a potentially useful resource , but I think keeping as far away from the area as possible is probably a better plan.

Might make a mess of the wheel arch and/or liners.

That’s what I feared, shame!

Protestors jailed

And they aren’t receiving much public love from their Twitter announcement on this….

Them turkeys gon' get stuffed fer Christmas.

[C8RKH]

Wonder if their cells gonna be insulated too?  Hope they choke on a faggot.  The pork variety of course.

[Chillidoggy]

Splendid news!

Shame we don’t have chain gangs. They could be put to work repairing potholes.

Probably suits them to be in jail over the winter, heating at zero cost to them rather than having to fund it themselves so their uninsulated homes don’t  matter.

Should have been a 5 year sentence, that would have caused them to sit up and think rather than believe that they are martyrs for the cause.   -   Something that the media through their coverage will make them

5 years is a bit excessive. But 2 years hard labour would work for me with no time off for good behaviour. Probably would be the first decent bit of labour any of them had done.

[Chillidoggy]

What they need is one or more their prison guards to have been stuck in a queue on the M25 during one of their protests.

Funny how that prison cell heating can play up, eh?

[ChrisJ]

If only the Police over here would do this

The woman just goes "ow" - the guy falls about the place screaming like a baby. I think I recognise him though, he's an ex Portuguese/Spanish football player is he not? Certainly behaves like one anyway.

Needs to be sent to the Met with the caption “this is how to do your job, not serving them  with pizza & water like you do”

They're stopping people getting on a boat now. Perhaps they think it's heading out to the rigs!!
