Good to see the police acting quickly to remove the protesters to get the motorway back open.

Absolutely ridiculous, totally unacceptable. Tougher sentences are needed for people who will cause that level of disruption.

Imagine how slated these protesters would be if it wasn't for a cause so many in the media are sympathetic to.

And what if they prevented an ambulance getting to an emergency. Thoughtless idiots.

If every home in the UK was properly insulated, people wouldnt be facing the horrendous energy bills that are coming our way shortly.

If it wasn't this it would be something else. People have too much time on their hands at the moment.
Get them off furlough and back at work.
If they haven't got a job get a HGV licence or pick fruit in Norfolk

The traffic jams are causing much more pollution too…..

Re: M25 Blocked in Both Directions

I'm sympathetic to their purpose and its nice that some people care enough to try to get change.

You can see how the world reacts to very real and imminent threats like covid, yet for something that creeps up on you the reaction by those in power is laboured.

But... There has to be a better way than pissing everyone off.

There must be targets they could focus on which would be equally as covered by the media but cause far less frustration, anger and disruption to the every day man and woman just trying to get about their day.

Fire bomb a few petrol stations.
That will keep the traffic down.

Nearly every cause is just on one level, but the that doesnt mean the actions are justified. I also suspect it does their cause no good.

You cant just do what the hell you like and disrupt everyone's lives. That is just arrogance and entitlement and not connected to democracy or protest at all.

It's a form of vandalism, its dangerous to them and other users and they should be dealt with harshly.
