Thread: Just Stop Oil - WTF?

    Angry Just Stop Oil - WTF?

    Anyone who has listened to my rants over the last two decades knows I will hold no fondness for George Osborne but how can anyone justify trying to spoil a couple's private wedding with a political protest?

    I think Braverman needs to stop her Rwanda flight fantasy and concentrate on jailing these whack jobs.

    BT, I am in shock. I thought that you were the champion of peaceful protest and that is exactly what it was.
    I suppose that they should really think about fining the woman for dropping litter because that would seem to be the only crime committed.
    You can't go around stopping peaceful people doing their thing, we would become a police state if that happened.

    Impinging on a wedding nuptial is not a peaceful protest Supersub6 it's a gross intrusion of privacy. Osborne has not even been involved in politics for 6 years, I hope his wife is all OK about the intrusion into her big day.

    In addition to an intrusion of privacy, there is an argument that it is assault within s39 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988. People cannot go around throwing things at others. The police will do nothing though.

    It was just not cricket Sc - somethings should be left sacrosanct, a wedding being one of them.

    I agree BT. I never understand the mindset of these people. Blocking roads, spoiling sporting events, invading a wedding. Peaceful protest is one thing. Do they really think that their antics are going to attract support? Seems to me that all it achieves is annoying people.

    Still, if they were ever prosecuted they can plead insanity.
