Observer II Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 These middle class kids blocking the M25, for 5 mins of the evening news, whilst alienating all the road users their action has inconvenienced is one thing. The other more important aspect to this is the woke response of the Police. What people expect is for the Police to IMMEDIATELY remove protesters from the roadway, thus allowing traffic to move, the protesters can then be arrested and taken to the nearest Police Station for charging. But no, 9 protesters (on the news clip), were sat in the roadway, surrounded by at least 30 plus Police, whilst a senior (female) Police Officer "talked" nicely to them. With the Police, wokism may be a much more serious matter, but it's systematic of the state of all our public institutions today, where senior management is full of woke idealists, resisting any control by the elected politicians. Time for a root and branch purge in the Police and all our public institutions imo, to terminate this woke nonsense and return to common sense responses in tune with public opinion. 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 saw a clip on faceache of the police stopping a fed up driver from removing the protesters. He tried to drag one of them away and was set on by a second the police stepped in and told him to stop or he would be arrested for assault.... Personally i would have backed the diesel up to the protestors and floored it. a few seconds of diesel exhaust in the face will shift anybody. mind you that would probably get me arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.....🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted September 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 It's not the weaponary Dave, but the willingness or otherwise to use it. We don't seem to have any politicians capable of getting a grip and sorting anything out. 😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer II Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 The irony with all this is, that most folk would support the proposition that all homes should be insulated; as it would save money on bills and save wasting energy. The question for the politicians is to develop a fair and affordable policy for mass implimentation . The question for these protesters is, have you insulated YOUR home, and it seems in many cases the answer is NO - so perhaps they should start putting their money where their mouth is ? But in terms of the issue, this form of protest has probably alienated a huge majority of public opinion, thus dooming any possibility of social and political progress on the matter. In the meantime, the lack lustre performance of our woke Police Services, needs to be urgently addressed in the recruitment policies for senior Officers, and the politicians who select them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
