Title: Insulate Britain
Post by: Alex on December 17, 2021, 06:23:07 PM
I've just read that the female 4 x 4 driver who "nudged" two protestors with her vehicle had been charged with assault.  Probably not the best reaction, but surely by sitting in the middle of a road the activists are putting themselves in danger.

I'm not surprised -always punish the victim if you can - why aren't the two idiots being charged with obstructing the Queen's Highway? Or did that go out with Dick Turpin?

It amazes me that the police don't charge the idiots, even if not for obstructing the highway, there are offences for causing distress, fear etc.
