    Your take is however literally madness. It would be like you protesting on here that somone trying to get people medicine to survive if they raced across town disrupting traffic and you supported them being jailed.

    I hope they can keep it up. The stupid attached to people not understating the impacts of climate change is appalling and will collapse civilisation. That’s literally what XR, JSO etal want to try and do, prevent the collapse of civilisation and raise awareness of that so we do something. And people be like “my Uber Eats driver delivered me a cold buger, jail those protestors for life!!!?”

    I get you’re not brave enough to do this yourself but you’d think you’d at least support those who are!

      This isn’t anarchy mate. There are laws in a democracy too. You’re making no sense.

          If the rich are stupid enough to block highways they will get the same punishment.

          What conspiracies are you talking about? Do you have any specific sources where certain people have higher privilages in the judiciary system of the UK? You cannot make strong claims like that without a source of a lawesuit.

            “In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.”

            I didn’t mean direct examples of when the rich were blocking roads, I meant more like why can major corporations continually polite the environment either though dumping illegally or spills and never see jail time.

            The rules aren’t the same.

              Because they don’t violate laws doing that. It’s very simple actually.

              You’re suprised that people that violate laws get punished. And equally you’re suprised that people that don’t violate the law don’t get punished. Huh?
