I find all the actions of the JSO and Insolate Britain, etc, really piss boiling. I honestly think these protests are not hurting anyone other than us poor mugs, nobody is running to their mp to demand further green motions because they have been delayed. This will lead to further reductions in our rights to protest. As a member of the emergency services I can guarantee this has delayed some first responders either directly or due to the further chaos on the surrounding roads caused by these actions.
However a bloke beating up a young lad offering no response is the act of a coward. A coward that knows he has just tried to force his way into another lane and dented his prize merc.

If you are on the side of someone booting someone in the head while on the floor, then you need to have a look at yourself. Proper cowardly, shithouse behaviour that.
I thought he kicked his phone away rather than booted him in the head but half watched it quickly earlier so am happy to be corrected

If you watch it zoomed in on twitter the guy is on the ground is shielding his head with his hands, the foot hits the hands on the back of the head and sends the phone flying.

Booting someone on the floor is scum behaviour.
fair enough, like I said mate, I had one quick watch
and i think everyone agrees with your last statement

Yeah, sorry mate that wasn't meant to sound aggy towards you.

Just to add. I understand people have genuine concerns and I am in no way mocking how they feel.
The only thing I mock is the JSO tactics that disrupt people going about their lawful business. Ceertainly not helping their 'cause'.
You do realise if it’s snowing in Canada it doesn’t mean it’s snowing everywhere, right? Weather patterns affect different areas at different times - they are not world-wide all at once. Our windy weather over the weekend was a knock-on effect of the European weather system causing the baking heat. And was unusual for the time of year in the UK. See the pattern? Lots of unusual weather, not conforming to seasonal norms and breaking records.
If the police we're to do their job and move the JSO people off the road then situations like this would be avoided. If that was a group of football supporters the old bill would come in very heavy handed but for some reason this lot are given a free pass. I don't agree with the bloke doing what he done but if the police refuse to do their job don't be surprised to see things like this more often.
Sadly I don't believe this is accurate (even if we wished it were).
As I understand it the protestors are operating in line (at the margins maybe) of what they are 'allowed' to do & hence creating the disruption they do. It consumes a lot of police manpower as it is to shepherd them along etc. They remove them (I think) when they can.

Apart from when they glue themselves to the road and old bill responds by giving them cups of tea.
furious motorist punches and kicks a Just Stop Oil protestor
Love it - if you could guarantee not getting nicked, would do it myself in same situation
I would justify it by explaining it is direct action against the cause of the traffic jam, after attempts to discuss the situation with the leaders of JSO led to no change.

Context though? Are they now not removing them when they can / the law permits?
You stated they are not doing their job. Not sure that is wholly true.

Why give them a cup of tea when they are behaving like c***s

Why give them a cup of tea when they are behaving like cunts
I asked what the context was as I haven’t seen this.
The police don’t ordinarily have the ability to make a cup of tea for themselves. Did a member of the public pass it to them or was it given out of concern in some way ? I simply don’t know.
But you suggest they choose not to do their job. That I don’t buy.
Absolutely fascinating read, I always find it interesting how different posters views can be about such an important topic.
If anyone bothers to read, I'm gonna share my views, I must warn you they are quite morbid but I've actually found a lot of peace in acting this way.
What I've come to realise is humans are basically just self-destructive/lazy and no matter what sort of effort you put in to make the world a better place, someone is gonna fuck it up at some point anyway.
Slightly random stories but bare with, I went to take the bins down the other day in my flat, there are 5 waste bins. I see the middle one full to the brim and think ah FFS bin men haven't come. I go to the bin nearest the door, lift the lid and low and behold, empty. So out of interest, I then open the other 3 closed lids, all minimal waste and then it hit me. These lazy fucks instead of using another bin and making the effort to open a bin lid, are causing a mass pile up in one bin. It pissed on my chips a little but I thought, fuck it, life goes on.
I get in my car (I know what an anti-eco scumbag) and I'm driving about and see a bit of traffic swerving in my local area, about ten or so cars all swerving on a 20 zone so I think, must be a bump in the road, holding the care up. Nope, a road sign has fell into the road, 20mph road stand still traffic, not one of these people think 'i could just move it quick and then people won't have to keep swerving their cars into the next lane'. So anyway I move the sign and think you lazy bastards again.
Now I know this day is already really riveting post but I get to my families for a dinner, roughly about 16 people knocking about, all decent people, respectable, good jobs, funny witty people who I respect. So the BBQ is on and everyone knows I'm vegan there and when I am putting my food on, they're looking at me like I've stripped down or something. All my friends and family eyeing up my food, 'ugh what even is it'. All I can think is, how am I the weird one, eating a corpse genuinely upsets me, but I'm being given the eye? They are all aware of the impact eating meat has and just in general how it's pretty disturbing, yet they can't even give that up. So I'm thinking, I bet it's you fuckers who would swerve the sign or leave the bin lids open.
Just sort of had an epiphany (obviously not strictly because of those events, very much tongue in cheek) that we are royally fucked. We just arent grateful collectively for life itself and sabotage it any given opportunity. There's always corruption, always a hierarchy, always someone wanting to be a tyrant/narcissist etc. I don't think it will ever change,
So I just thought, fuck it, I don't care anymore. I just try and be nice, enjoy my life as much as I can while being mindful of what impact I may have and just accept we're doomed no matter what.
People will believe what they want to believe and do what they want to do at the end of the day. I credit people who have the energy to go out of their way to try and convince other people to change their ways, unfortunately from experience and as I can see in this thread, you just can't convince some people
When was the last time anyone bought a chicken and asked whether it had a two week holiday in the Seychelles and travelled by business class before it was eaten.
Don’t know, but should it cross the road, questions will be asked.
I have absolutely no problem with this. They should go for the houses of parliament next - chuck some orange paint during PMQs or something - how about blocking the traffic to and from downing street as well.
Humans are flawed (supporting Charlton is one sign of that!) i believe most people just don't care to enough about climate change when they go on their short haul holidays, drive cars, by products that are made in China/India.
I do the same so i'm part of it. I just can't see us going back to a more basic life at this stage.

I would shut the road and set up a diversion and leave the pricks in their own piss and shit
