“I’m not joking, my son needs to get to school. Move out the way. Move out the way now.”
Bet he's close to a suspension/exclusion for being a mouthy little shit, whenever he actually shows up.
Just a bit of supposition on my part, looking at the tree the cherubic little apple fell from.
😉
and she was taking her kids to school, which *is* necessary.
You ****in' wot? Didn't somebody say the kid was 12...
And you'd count that as necessary?
My mind is truly blown

50:50 the school is a short walk from the house.
I couldn’t afford her nails, let alone her car.
Tbh, bald tyres,no tax,I don't imagine she can afford the car,really.
I don't think the XR lot are going about it the right way, but I haven't got any better suggestions so I'll keep shtum.
It'll be a rented car most likely
Fat cow could have just parked up and walked little Alfie the [ guess ] 1/4 mile to school but no , I am entitled so I am going to nudge you out of my way.
NO one comes out of this looking good in any way
The Insinuate Britain cause rise in CO by blocking roads /making traffic jams which people sit in with their engines running
Why was she waving her phone around? Is it some kind of disrupter weapon weapon that makes people turn to ash ? nope she is exactly the type to use her phone constantly whilst driving / eating / drinking , updating her 'socials' and needing the drip drip drip of the dopamine hit of every 'like' or heart emoji
Bet shes even got 'Blessed' written across her arse crack . bit stretched now as she has developed big bone syndrome
They need to chain themselves to Shell & BP HQ
And what do you expect Shell and BP to do about the lack of insulation in UK housing ?
It’ll be a rented car most likely
No tax, bald tyres. Not sounding rented to me.
updating her ‘socials’ and needing the drip drip drip of the dopamine hit of every ‘like’ or heart emoji
<hits 'like' button>
I'll bet she's got 'Live, Laugh, Love' in big letters fixed to her kitchen wall.
They need to chain themselves to Shell & BP HQ
XR tried that several times.
Given it's probably the same professional protestors they are probably aware that it was about as successful as shouting at the wind.
To be fair she was well insulated, in a let's rethink stretch clothing sort of way.
Rented / Hired / Pcp/ PcH deal
all the same to me . You are just borrowing it for a period of time
Gobby son gets out the car waving a McDonalds shake around. Maybe if they have the time to go out for breakfast of a morning then ramming ladies with 2T 4x4 might not be so neccessary.
It’s got us all talking so must be making us think! Professional protesters or middle class white people with time to burn? It’s got to be mostly people who can have time off work or are retired and take the hit when arrested. Respect for taking a position and taking action (non violent).
Can you imagine sitting in a Range Rover and just driving at someone you know is sat in front of your massive car?* You'd have no idea if it would crush her, break her neck, snap her back like a twig... you just wouldn't know. And still you press on that accelerator. Woman is a ****ing psycho.

It's chilling. It's not a driving issue, it's a deliberate reckless assault with a weapon that could easily have killed or maimed.
Yeah the woman was definitely out of order, doesn't excuse the idiots blocking the roads, gluing themselves down so not even the emergency services can get through.
Massive entitlement all around, the woman in the nicked Range Rover (we've established we don't think it's rented) and the holier than thou glue fetishists, who to be honest do look like very comfortably off middle class people with time on their hands who a criminal record won't cause a lot of issues for.
People's heartfelt beliefs don't trump the obstruction laws or court orders, if they did it be would anarchy.

So yeah, I’d guess she was an example of someone who isn’t rolling in cash doing something relatively important
Oh sure, nothing says "not rolling in cash" like a 20 plate Range Rover driver seriously considering running someone over on the school run.
Woman sat in the road was in no danger of killing or maiming anyone though. There’s your balance.

Apart from the critical patient in ambulance who got stuck in the congestion, or the kid walking to school who struggled to cross the road due to congestion, or the person with breathing issues who had an attack due to intensity of exhaust fumes generated by the additional congestion.
What if the lady had lain down across the road. Another Emily Pankhurst moment updated by 100 years if nail bar hippo drops the clutch.
Bet she updated her faceache profile with a fricken ' BE KIND' Rainbow sillohette when the love island presenter died. Unless im going to be late for mildreds purple rinse at the salon, then being kind is not on todays agenda
Apart from the critical patient in ambulance who got stuck in the congestion
Ah yes, 'Schrodinger's Paramedic'.
he kid walking to school
Wut? It ain't 1985. Kids are transported around in leased Range Rovers.
Apart from the critical patient in ambulance who got stuck in the congestion
You are gonna shit yourself when you find out how many KSIs there are on UK roads.
or the kid walking to school who struggled to cross the road due to congestion
Traffic's stopped for once - piece of the proverbial
or the person with breathing issues who had an attack due to intensity of exhaust fumes generated by the additional congestion.
If only someone would do something about those pesky fumes, maybe a protest or something?
Personality i prefer crossing roads with stationery traffic caused by congestion, rather tben crossing rods with a constant stream of traffic doing 40,mph a foot in front of me but maybe im on my own on that.
I don’t think the XR lot are going about it the right way, but I haven’t got any better suggestions so I’ll keep shtum.
That is the challenge.
If you did highly targeted protests against the government then no one would report it unless you dumped a bunch of abestos/some other thing to link it to insulation.
So noticable disruption is needed but as you say "better suggestions" on how to do it is somewhat tricky since you need to annoy people enough for it to be reported but not so much to turn everyone against you.
Ah yes, ‘Schrodinger’s Paramedic’.
Beautiful
Apart from the critical patient in ambulance who got stuck in the congestion, or the kid walking to school who struggled to cross the road due to congestion, or the person with breathing issues who had an attack due to intensity of exhaust fumes generated by the additional congestion.
What about all the other people causing congestion? Are they complicit in the health effects of their roles as part of the traffic?

You would be stopped from doing so.

For either party.
What did the protestors expect to happen when they sit in the middle of the road? Do they actually think the public care about their cause enough to be happy to be held up by their futile meaningless stunt. Sure they have the right to protest, equally the road users have the right to go about their lawful business
the person with breathing issues who had an attack due to intensity of exhaust fumes generated by the additional congestion.
Ooh, I’m sure I’ve heard that shit spouted when claiming cyclists are bad for the environment..
equally the road users have the right to go about their lawful business
Forgetting that the person involved in this was breaking any number of laws, all at the same time. As are many other road users. Every day. The right to protest is being eroded, this will require protests to happen “in the community” rather than be directed at key people or locations. There will be more of this in future, sadly. It’s how protesting looks when it is “cracked down on” near the seats of political power in London etc. Protestors need to be nimble to make their point, they aren’t going to be sitting outside the Palace of Westminster, or any similar site, any more. That’s now denied them.
Sure they have the right to protest, equally the road users have the right to go about their lawful business
This isn't Top Trumps, you can't justify running someone over because "bloody hell, I really need to go somewhere IN MY CAR!!!"
Well, I can't - YMMV.
Seeing as cyclists dont cause congestion despite what the gammons say your point is pointless.
What about all the other people causing congestion? Are they complicit in the health effects of their roles as part of the traffic?
Yes, but at least they have reason to be doing so, the protesters are going to change nothing with their behaviour (apart from turning more people away from acknowledging climate issues).
Yes, but at least they have reason to be doing so
Where do I get my "reason to congest" ticket validated?
So the argument is about reasons. Well, looking at this clip, if we’re deciding who has the best reason for their actions, I’m with the protestors wanting real action on climate change, not the person driving their kids to school in an unsafe, untaxed, polluting behemoth of a car.

En route to a cat scan obvs...
Canny wait until the XR and IB lovelies all descend en masse on Glasgow during COP26. Doubt the local 'businessmen' in their large black 4x4s will respond well to Olivia evo-sticking herself to Sprinburn Rd.
Were the suffragettes right to disrupt london and other cities the way they did the way they did?
If yes then whats the moral difference here?
If no then do you think women would have got the right to vote?
The campaign was then escalated, with the suffragettes chaining themselves to railings, setting fire to post box contents, smashing windows and eventually detonating bombs, as part of a wider bombing campaign.[33] Some radical techniques used by the suffragettes were learned from Russian exiles from tsarism who had escaped to England.[34] In 1914, at least seven churches were bombed or set on fire across the United Kingdom, including Westminster Abbey, where an explosion aimed at destroying the 700-year-old Coronation Chair, only caused minor damage.[35] Places that wealthy people, typically men, frequented were also burnt and destroyed whilst left unattended so that there was little risk to life, including cricket pavilions, horse-racing pavilions, churches, castles and the second homes of the wealthy.
A bit more extreme than glueing themselves to a road
Protestors need to be nimble to make their point,
protesters need to remember that they need to change and influence popular opinion if they want to actually effect change. I’m not sure how blocking roads actually helps with that objective
Fact of the matter is, we've known about the requirement to insulate Britain's old housing stock since at least the 1990's (when I got out of the environmental game because I realised only serious political action would do anything, that it wouldn't happen and that I'd pauper myself in the process).
30 years later, these people have started taking direct action. And people are angry about it.
Good. They're angry, and it's in the news.
Fighting in the streets next. And the government can't really ignore that. So they'll crack down more.
And then, slowly but surely, the idiot public who show no solidarity with people who've got to the end of their tether of being ignored, will understand that they're on the wrong side of the argument, and simply (and stupidly short-sightedly) identify with fat women in untaxed range rovers.
Yes, but at least they have reason to be doing so
And these officially approved reasons are?
Being too lazy to cycle a couple of miles to work perhaps.
Were the suffragettes right to disrupt london and other cities the way they did the way they did?
Are we really putting the right for a woman to vote, and the right for more cavity wall insulation in the same discussion?
they need to change and influence popular opinion if they want to actually effect change
How’s that panned out over the last 50 years then? The change that is needed has been known about for half a century now. How do you influence popular opinion? How does that then change building regs, planning requirements, funding for transforming shared dwellings, new standards for private landlords, social housing programmes, listed building change limitations, end of life programmes for domestic gas units, green taxes on domestic and business sites based on energy wastage…
How’s that panned out over the last 50 years then? The change that is needed has been known about for half a century now.
What are you worried about precisely? I say we wait another 50 years and see how it's going. Duh.
I think that’s pretty much the plan. Anyway, whatever the plan, don’t get in the way of my black disco sport, my kids are too special to get the bus, I know my rights (but ignore all my obligations). Damn law breakers (no, not me, I have good reasons for breaking all the laws I’m breaking).
I’m not sure how blocking roads actually helps with that objective
I think the answer lies in the many long years of f***-all happening as a result of passive protest. You'd be moaning about those bloody suffragettes, right?
Are we really putting the right for a woman to vote, and the right for more cavity wall insulation in the same discussion?
It's not really about "the right for more cavity wall insulation", is it now.
But you knew that.
