Check out this article from the BBC website where there are about twice as many coppers as protesters just stood about letting these idiots cause massive disruption! >:(
Why TF didn't the police just chuck them in the back of the vans a cart them off straight away so people could get on with their business? ??? ::)
There's also a tweet in the article from Surrey Police saying a number of people were arrested, and I wouldn't mind betting that they arrested frustrated angry drivers who tried to move the protesters themselves. ::)
Anyway isn't it an offence to obstruct the highway? ???

Cops should have not turned up and let the drivers sort them out, fkg idiots

Won't insulating Britain only make it warmer?
My windows are only closed if I am out or it is pissing it down.
breakless retard morons >:(

Plenty of exhaust fumes from all the traffic jams they caused ::)

We have a pretty good record on the environment.
Perhaps they could protest on a Chinese motorway and see what happens. ::)
-
Was that roller made in China? Most things are now ::) One of those morons stated it was his 'right' to protest this way. What about all the folk going about their legitimate business and their rights? Self entitled tw @ts. >:(

Shame the Police don't revisit their tactics from Orgreave, at least in this case they would be justified

I wager at least 90% of the lazy misguided cretins have never had jobs in their wasted shitty lives. Doze the off the highway with a nice Komatsu 575A, nice 24ft blade to ‘move them on’ 😎👍

I caught a bit of a Nick Ferrari interview earlier where they were discussing why the Police took so long to clear the protestors out of the way. The fella (I don't know who..) was saying that back in the day, most coppers were big hard working class ex forces types, but these days they're mostly middle class Guardian reading graduates, who have more empathy with the protestors than the general public trying to go about their business. ::)
Sounds about right TBH. ???

I think they prefer 'police service' rather than 'police force' in 2021. ::)

Yes, the police are often far too conscious of how they may appear to the liberal scene in 2021. How they handled the miners strike, with the good old fashioned tough, gritty, policing has gone, and now they are afraid to upset the young who are usually mounting these protests under the banner of "free speech" and "human rights". It is crazy when it gets to what we saw yesterday, and ignores what the majority of motorists want ; to go about their lawful business unhindered. :(
The agricultural industry is short of workers to pick fruit and veg, so those involved yesterday should be made to go to farms and earn an honest crust, instead of claiming universal credit. That would be very good for the environment, what these people are claiming to protect, and save the public purse millions whilst solving a food shortage challenge! ;)

That is what 'us', the general public and the media have created; a police force always under the microscope for 'fairness and doing always the right thing', aware of what everyone is going to judge them on!
We can never wish to go back to pre-PACE 1984 days (and I know what happened during those dark days after being told by ex-senior officers of the facts), but the police are now getting far too lenient, and always conscious of what the CPS will accept, or often not, as 'evidence' to take a prosecution forward. I would not bet against the dreaded CPS being behind the will not to throw the book at these people,.................................. sorry, environmentally aware, public duty, orientated against the wicked state, friendly guys and girls (!!!!! ::) ::) ::) ::) >:( >:() ;)
-
Once the first vehicle forces through, the traffic flow should stop them from getting too comfortable. Not to advocate deliberately running anyone over, and presumably their MO is to wait for the exit slip road lights to go red before setting up :-\ If this happens in front of me, or it looks like it might, then I would seriously consider running the light (to avoid a situation of imminent danger).
In fact, if HA were on the ball, they would turn all the traffic lights off.
Impeding a highway and being a pedestrian on a motorway without just cause are presumably both still a thing.
I wouldn't advocate martyring any of the freckles waistrels, but the genuine possibility of being seriously injured ought to be enough encouragement for them to move.

Y'all better wake up and see where this is all going .....and soon.

Be interesting to ask them how they think all their mobile phones and fancy trainers and tops were made (and imported from)? Would it be directly or indirectly through using fossil fuels maybe?

Grant Shapps ordered the highways agency to take out an injunction, which was granted this morning, so any future demos will be in contempt of court.

Walking on a motorway was already prohibited... ::)
The driver of the silver X Trail should be named andshamed for stopping. If they had carried on rather than stopping and waiting, none of the cars behind would have stopped.
-
I'm in full agreement with the protestors , people should lock their cars away & walk everywhere do us all the power of good get sod all done though.😄😄😄

The trouble with that is if the silver x trailer driver had made no attempt to stop, and killed one of the idiots, it would be the driver in deep water with the law, and no doubt facing at least a manslaughter charge! >:(
It is the one who holds the licence to drive who will always get blamed ::) ::) ::)

How's your bus pass? ;D
This current bunch of eejits want the government to insulate all social housing.
Notwithstanding that the government doesn't actually own any of the housing stock, having long since farmed it out to private contractors... most social housing insulation exceeds current standards because said contractors don't want miss out on any subsidies that might be on offer for, yup you guessed it... making their housing as energy efficient as possible.
Ironic, isn't it? :-X
-
Apparently one of the leaders admitted on TV this morning that his own house isnt insulated.
Fickin idiot. ;D ;D

He didn't exactly admit it, he was browbeaten by Suzanna Reid and Richard Madely until he couldn't deny it. Then they, more or less, laughed at him and he did a Piers Morgan. ;D
-
I'm wondering where all these 'draughty' houses are that they keep talking about? :-\
The vast majority of houses these days are double glazed and have loft insulation, and my house for example is as tight as a knats chuff with all the windows and doors closed. I probably could have deeper insulation in the loft to be honest, but then you make the space unusable if you have 6ft of rockwool up there! ::)

It takes the snow much longer to melt off my roof than other houses in the street
I have a warm roof , 3 layers of PIR on/in the rafters with thermal breaks .
we don't have the heating on vey often ,just the gas fire and heated bed .
-
My house is old and lets the heat out through the walls and the roof. I try not to let it keep me awake. I suppose I could turn the heating down in the house, and sit in the car with the diesel engine running all night to keep warm. :-\
But then some people would probably moan that I'm killing my neighbours in their beds. You just can't win these days. ::)

if you did sit in the car then the M25 protesters could block your road for you to highlight your plight :)

Shooting them?! That is far too good for them!
But, ok shooting is not allowed ( ::) ::) ::) >:() so where are all the prison sentences that have been talked about for these bloody idiots?!
As though motorists going about their lawful business have not got enough to deal with already, like getting the fuel that is now being wasted by idling engines caused by these protests - that actually increase the environmental damage!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
If I were that close to the front of the queue, I would be forcing my way through them... Albeit in first gear at idle... Just enough effort to be serious, but not enough to splatter people.
I would of course forewarn them that if they attempt to block any part of the vehicle that cannot reasonably be seen from the drivers seat, they do so at there own risk and they accept full responsibility for doing so and agree that I will not subsequently be held liable if they bleed to death waiting for the ambulance or lose a limb or three in the process.
I would like to think that anyone behind me would have the sense to follow.

They seems to be of made up 50% students and 50% pensioners.
Students are lazy and bolshy, and pensioners have no job to go to......hence they have all the time in the world to be a pain in the arse.
Shoot the students and the pensioners will soon go back to feeding the ducks in the park. :)

We know none of that will happen, but......where are the promised prosecutions for contempt of court? Throw three or four of them in jail and I can guarantee the others will think twice. They just don't think it's going to happen, which it looks like it isn't.

The court orders issued so far only cover the M25, the M25 junctions, and some routes to Dover/Folkestone. Todays demos weren't on roads covered by the injunction, so no contempt of court.

I see. Well it's about time the government caught up with their tactics. The first injunction should have covered all major arterial routes, but obviously didn't. Time for a further injunction before someone gets hurt.

I don't support the methods or aims of this group, but the right to peaceful protest is one of the things that distinguishes a free and open democracy from somewhere like China or North Korea. AFAIK none of this group have done anything 'non peaceful', and it appears that for the most part they've not done anything illegal either. Sure they've pissed off a load of motorists, but legislating for that is probably counterproductive.

I disagree. They may be 'peacefully' protesting in the legal sense, but they are causing untold misery to law abiding citizens going about their lawful business. Marching through town is one thing, blocking a motorway is another.
Their protests are also counterproductive and futile. I wouldn't run them over but, if I had room to manoeuvre, I would reverse round and rev the bollix off my Diesel engine and, hopefully, choke the bastards. :)

I watched the founder of ER being interviewed this morning in anger and dismay.
He had a scenario put to him where he is taking part in a protest and an Ambulance arrives at the scene with someone on board whose life is in danger and needs to get to Hospital.
"Would you move to allow it through?" "No, I would stay where I was."
To me, this now puts them into the bracket of a Terrorist organisation and the powers that be now need to treat them as such. >:(
-
Hope we get some bitterly cold weather , bunch of wimps won't stay sitting on their lazy arses for long in the road, should round them up & force them to clean the streets & clear all the shite from flytipping that has occurred all over the country, sorry if I sound harsh but these useless cu**s really annoy me.

This is the dilemma.
100% agree they have the right to protest, but when their right to protest takes away the rights of people to go about their business, and stops a blue-lighted ambulance or funeral hearse from reaching it's destination then something has to give.
They need to find a better way make their point.
In summary, the need to move or be removed.

Perhaps they could have protested at the Labour Party Conference. ::)
Diversity and inclusion, and all that.

I see. Well it's about time the government caught up with their tactics. The first injunction should have covered all major arterial routes, but obviously didn't. Time for a further injunction before someone gets hurt.
I don't support the methods or aims of this group, but the right to peaceful protest is one of the things that distinguishes a free and open democracy from somewhere like China or North Korea. AFAIK none of this group have done anything 'non peaceful', and it appears that for the most part they've not done anything illegal either. Sure they've pissed off a load of motorists, but legislating for that is probably counterproductive.
I disagree. They may be 'peacefully' protesting in the legal sense, but they are causing untold misery to law abiding citizens going about their lawful business. Marching through town is one thing, blocking a motorway is another.
Their protests are also counterproductive and futile. I wouldn't run them over but, if I had room to manoeuvre, I would reverse round and rev the bollix off my Diesel engine and, hopefully, choke the bastards. :)
This is the dilemma.
100% agree they have the right to protest, but when their right to protest takes away the rights of people to go about their business, and stops a blue-lighted ambulance or funeral hearse from reaching it's destination then something has to give.
They need to find a better way make their point.
In summary, the need to move or be removed.
I think that the out of touch old fools in the Supreme Court recently ruled that disruptive protests are legitimate. ::)
So ultimately it probably needs legislation from Parliament to correct that. Time for Boris to put his 80 seat majority to use! :)

I suppose by definition protests of one sort or another are always going to be disruptive to somebody or other. Much like it is impossible not to offend somebody with what we say or do.
Perhaps a decision as to 'which is the greater good' needs consideration.
I would say the 'greater good' is achieved by letting the traffic flow.

I watched the founder of ER being interviewed this morning in anger and dismay.
He had a scenario put to him where he is taking part in a protest and an Ambulance arrives at the scene with someone on board whose life is in danger and needs to get to Hospital.
"Would you move to allow it through?" "No, I would stay where I was."
To me, this now puts them into the bracket of a Terrorist organisation and the powers that be now need to treat them as such. >:(
I watched that idiot too however the question put to him was… if it was “HIS MOTHER” in the ambulance……so by his admission the man would see his own mother suffer and die for a situation that may well not even take place! What a waste of fkg space🔥 it’s no wonder nobody will support this bullshit.

Has the breeding of idiots been stepped up ? As it seems to be completely out of control at present one ridiculous protest after another, I for one couldn't give a flying f**k about this nonsense.
-
Sadly people obviously do support them and misguided shit tards like them. Brighton is full of the idiots
If people genuinely want to do their thing to save the world, then sod off to somewhere remote and fend for themselves with nothing more than what's already there.
Better still, shut themselves back in the basement and stay there indefinitely... :-X

That's half the problem... most people couldn't care unless something affects them directly such as Ocado running out of fuel to deliver their loo rolls.
There is a solution...

Saving the world seems like a bit of an ambitious statement. The UK could stop producing any CO2 at all tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock, and it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to 'the world'.

I'd like to see this type of Demo getting tried around here, they'd likely get a bloody good shoeing
Not that I'd condone any such thing obviously

Having said that, we don't need protesters on the M62. The f**kin thing is always closed anyway.

It’s such a shame that they embargoed Aussie coal... ;D

Indeed. and these idiots seem to think we can achieve it solely by insulating a few houses. Most of which are already insulated to a certain extent. Absolutely barking.

Yes and it would be amusing if Scott Morrison banned selling coal to China if and when they come crawling back. :)
Not that he will of course even after the way China has behaved towards Australia for having the impudence to query the origins of Covid. ::)

Australia started it. They suggested there should be an enquiry into the origins of CV19 ::), and the Chinese took offence. ;D
Apparantly Australia is now also drowning in wine because China was their biggest export market.

Yep no energy crisis Down Under and no shortage of wine while they've been locked down either! ;D

They must be in Cuckoo land to believe utter nonsense, but just goes to show how many idiots are in our midst, every day something totally ridiculous seems to be reported glad that I won't be around in 30 years or so to see the results.

Jeremy Whine had a couple of lefties on today whinging that Boris was cracking jokes at the Tory party conference when the country is in crisis. ::)

i see the drivers affected by the actions of the idiots took it on their selves to remove them, does anybody remember Thatcher allowing the police to remove their numbers and charge into men, women & children with batons , horses . no pc49 or such meant no id,s. get tougher with this lot . eventually some body will lose their rag & mow them down.
-
If the police aren't there, they cannot react to it... positively or negatively.
The protesters cannot complain too loudly because they know full well that how they are doing what they are doing is totally illegal and the police, presumably unofficially, have decided to let those directly affected have a go at dealing with the ecomentalists in a less polite manner than the police might be expected to use.
Flip side of course is that any drivers deliberately driving towards the protesters could ultimately be charged with attempted murder as a starting point should someone get injured. :-\
We're far too civilised here, note that in the news clip today, the two car drivers were a West African chap and an Eastern European woman.
There are places in the world where such protesters would find themselves being shot in the head where they sit and driven around/over like road kill or litter. And whilst this obviously isn't Haiti or Columbia, I wonder how quickly they would move if someone discharged the magazine from a blank firing pistol. ::)
-
I watched the footage at the roundabout yesterday .
Isn't it strange that a small Eastern European woman can drag one of them to the kerbside whereas it takes two large ass and useless policemen to do the same .
My belief is that they are deliberately tempting fate and seeking a minor injury ( recoverable of course ) by the hand of a driver or front of a vehicle that the news hungry media will spout all over the world.
The sanctimonious expression on their predominantly sixty plus privileged faces is there to goad the unfortunate drivers .
It's entirely right that the drivers should be able to drag these cretins off the road, but I'd caution with limited force.
I've heard all sorts of suggestions in how to do this but if I was there I'd remove their glasses and / or backpack and throw them either over a high wall or place them under the wheels of a lorry that had to reverse to avoid one of theirs .
Zip ties sound good but pull them too tight and these people would be the first to have the law on you perhaps zip tying their backpacks to a fence and then citizens arrest if they produce a blade to cut it free.
Dog shit is another good idea ......
The Police have the powers to deal with this just not the willingness ,support or direction of the Senior officers and the public see that .
Cressida Dick should be replaced immediately .

Replaced wouldn't be the first choice.

There was a case a few years back where someone grabbed a camera off a paparatzi photographer, and was done for assault. It's all over the "rights of a photographer" websites so these protesters will be aware of such rulings.
