Are these people so deluded and arrogant that they honestly think their pathetic protests will make one jot of difference, because if they do, I've got news for them, it won't.
I was due to drive my daughter back to university yesterday, but couldn't because it involved where they were protesting, so instead was on the 25 at silly o'clock this morning, and as I was driving back something occurred to me. The police are shutting the road for fear they may fall, even though they're tethered, but this morning I drove under at least 2 footbridges that span the 25, so I'm really struggling to understand the rationale in closing the country's busiest motorway just because they're up a gantry. If they draped their banners over a footbridge the road wouldn't be closed, and I really don't see the difference.
The hardhats, Hi-Vis, trainers, boots they wear are all by-products of the oil industry; if they had an ounce of conviction, they'd make sure everything they wear, use etc..., would not be.
