Good - these people are a fucking menace. Their antics are potentially putting lives at risk (re blocking emergency services). Personally these groups should be classified as a terrorist organisation and dealt with accordingly.

What puts more lives at risk, protests or the massive global famine that the climate is rapidly headed towards causing?

Oh for the record I was involved with Just Stop Oil but left two years ago - I realised the the organisers actually don't care about climate change but simply won't to cause disruption.

Obviously you've never had your journey blocked by these nob-heads....if you have well you must be masochist.

Oh no! My journey!

Perhaps you don’t value your time or the safety of those around you. But there are those of us who do.

I have no problem with protests but when you directly affect or impede people who have nothing to do with what you’re protesting it is a very serious issue. In this case it is equal to a conspiracy to kidnap someone.

According to the BBC it was actually the police who stopped traffic. All these guys did was hang out up by the route signs with some signs of their own.
