A U.K. judge handed down shockingly harsh sentences to peaceful climate activists, sparking outrage and disbelief. Is this justice or suppression of dissent?
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.
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.
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.
Interesting… so what are your thoughts on the practice of Kettling then? Police have used this tactic on protests that were properly permitted but may run afoul of the incumbent parties views.
Using your logic this seems like it is just a small inconvenience for the protesters.
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.

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

Says the person who thinks inconvenience should be illegal.
Freedom of movement implies the freedom not to move (while in the middle of a road), not the freedom from temporary obstructions.

Lol. OK buddy. Go back to your plastic bubble now
Which might be the back of an ambulance…or perhaps you are going to see a relative who is dying… but hey who cares about that?
Oh no! My shifting goalposts! Waves wand: “Argumentum ad Passiones!”
