Traffic chaos in Kent

Old Morgan might just have his head screwed on climbing as high as possible. We only have 7 years apparently until this area is all under water so at least he may be safe while the rest of us are swimming.

The river will stop on the north side of the main road, I live to the south. Does that mean my house price will increase in value as I will have a river view?

Pair of scumbags punishing ordinary people. Hope they get banged up for a long time.

That's all.

Recently the A2 was shut completely by some "moron" during the the London Marathon and the rail strike week-end.

What happened on the A2 that weekend?

Not a chance Len, they will get a slap on the wrist and be sitting on top of Big Ben before the year is out

Essex OB bought in a platform & the eejits are down & nicked.
The Highways agency haven’t opened the bridge yet but I’m guess it won’t be long.

Why could this not have been done yesterday 😡

I’m guessing the specialist platform was the issue.
They don’t have those in the station car park on the off chance it might be needed.

I'm going round to throw plastic pigs into their front gardens, that'll learn 'em.

See that map, Roland? That's your real estate investment going to shit. Sell it now, you silly old git, while you still can.

Last night at work I saw a dog that was bleeding internally. If it was a splenic tumour we would’ve done the surgery there and then but unfortunately the tumour was interconnected between liver and spleen and required referral. The only place that would accept it overnight was the RVC in potters bar. Instead of getting quickly up the m25 the owners had to drive with all the traffic up through blackwall, m11 etc. 
if an extra 30minutes of journey time, 30minutes more of blood lost has caused this dog to not make it…

Not going to say any more as I’ll end up ranting for pages.

I wonder if the operators of the Dratford crossing have a case against these two protesters to bring private action for loss of revenue. They won't be able to pay but being made bankrupt would be a real pain to them.  

Never likely to have jobs are they?

All these fuckers must have very understanding bosses otherwise, to allow all this time off to do daft shit like this.

Would imagine their employers would be desperate to keep their companies a secret to avoid a backlash from customers/clients.

We use specialist booms all the time, I’m qualified to operate anything up to 175ft it wouldn’t be higher than that and they are lorry mounted and I know of 4 crane companies that would offer them same day. 

Hangar 7 at Heathrow has 2 of these platforms permanently on site

Yea but they were probably stuck in the traffic getting them there

But according to @Vincenzo that's fine & if they didn't have a dog, kids & a car then the planet would not be so polluted.

Well I hope someone outs them & they get the sack.

How much are they to hire?

Just for starters, the cost should be picked up by Prick A and Prick B.

Well, the arsehole from New Zealand (who is a serial protestor and should be deported after completing his sentence) CLAIMS to be a civil engineer and bridge designer. But, strangely, I can't find him listed either with ICE or ISE. So, I can only think that Tony Keohane wrote his CV for him!

Not a nice story but I can't help thinking that if anyone really cared about the welfare of cats and dogs (or children for that matter) they might consider driving less often - or at least go a bit slower in built up or rural areas.

According to the current Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman the M25 disruption is caused by @seth plum on Charlton Life.
I am a vegetarian (tofu eating) and anti racist (member of the wokerati) and therefore closed the Dartford Bridge.
Should I surrender myself to the nearest police station?

Sorry, a civil disobedience engineer.

I have been held up for hours on the A2 by random road works on countless occasions ( including en-route to Darent Valley hospital to see loved ones) and there is rarely any visible sign of any activity. Recently the A2 was shut completely by some "moron" during the the London Marathon and the rail strike week-end.

I don't remember anyone calling for the head of the Highways Agency to be shot on site or for  fireworks and pyrotechnics to be fired at him while he/she was mowing the lawn.

And if you start claiming (even in jest) that anyone who undertakes peaceful direct action for a political cause is a terrorist,  then we are all in big trouble.

They don't have to be shot at the scene. They can be taken to a more discreet location if need be.

With the protest, this thread deviated firmly into HoC style territory. Now the protest has finished, grateful if we could get it back to its intention please, the glamorous and exciting discussion of ‘traffic in Kent’

I think it would be for the best, Seth. Full cooperation will likely result in a reduced sentence.
