The right to protest in this country is being severely eroded and I'm very uncomfortable with those who are cheering on further erosions. That said, I still don't know why these protestors aren't, like, occupying housing construction companies instead. I do wonder whether they're not now courting an over-the-top police response. Strange tactic.
Is it? What new laws have been passed to erode the right to protest? Not a rhetorical question, genuinely interested in anything that has passed me by.
According to the news they arrived at 8.00am but were not removed until 10.00am - FFS what is going on with law and order in this country - they should have been dragged off into meat wagons by 8.10am and chucked in the clink
The Police were quick enough to arrest Charlton fans at Dartford station Tuesday night…..
Probably cos: Protest = not illegal. Punch ups = illegal.
But under the Coronavirus laws no person may participate in a gathering of more than 2 people - or has that law been dropped now ?
You’re joking aren’t you? You haven’t noticed thousands and thousands of people inside football stadiums?
Yeah yeah - OK - my mistake - I wasn’t thinking straight - as soon as I posted it I knew I had dropped the ball - we all have off days - 8 pints of Guinness last night hasn’t helped

You are a man who’s priorities are in place. Didnt know the rule of two was scrapped months ago but knows the pubs are open. Give this guy a promote admin.

Ok - enough now - I realise I made a fuck up
All jokes from me 👍🏻 I know you knew the rule was scrapped.
Terrorism is the use or threat of action, both in and outside of the UK, designed to influence any international government organisation or to intimidate the public. It must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.
Examples include:
serious violence against a person or damage to property,
endangering a person's life (other than that of the person committing the action),
creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public,
action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

Thaks, I'd forgotten about that. It's not law yet but unfortunaely these protests will provide Patel with more than enough public and political support to get it through Parliament.

Are you implying that the M25 protestors are terrorists?
Clearly the Government High Court injunction to prevent the M25 being blocked was poorly thought out - these twats have simply moved to another area - perhaps someone in Government should use a bit of grey matter and get an injunction that deals with any sort of protest anywhere - AA Roadwatch shows total carnage on the roads around Dover
I made an attempted joke at the time saying that I hope the government didn’t use farnell and elliotts legal team. Looks like they did!
Do they genuinely think this is helping their 'cause'?
I should think those motorists, already pissed off with having to queue for God knows how long to get some fuel are def in no doubt to their answer to that one..their "cause" has long since disappeared over the horizon, this thread title needs updating, far too peachy clean for this bunch of arseholes..

Oh FFS. These wankers are really getting on my tits.
But then remembered that there are going to be no lawyers upstairs are there!!
Insulate Britain protesters have glued themselves to the road and are blocking a roundabout on a junction of the M25.
Kent Police was called to junction 3, the Swanley Interchange, at 07:30 BST and the road has been closed.
Congestion is building anti-clockwise towards the Dartford crossing and has backed-up along the London-bound stretch of the A2 from Gravesend.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and find alternative routes while officers work to remove the protesters.
