Good News At Last

Does anyone know where they’ll serve their sentences?

Wherever they are sent you can be sure that it will be nourishment not punishment!

They’ll even get Christmas pudding at Christmas, bastards

If this was the organisers behind the ‘blade runners’ getting five years after ‘peacefully protesting’ by for cutting down hundreds of ULEZ cameras, people here would be cheering in unison.

Saw a Twitter thread about other sentances the same judge has handed out.

Deliberately crashing a car into the gates of Downing Street and possessing indecent images of children: suspended sentence

On-duty police officer having sex in a patrol car with a vulnerable woman who he’d offered to drive home after she was ejected from a nightclub: suspended sentence

Failures contributing to the spread of a fire in which two women died: £40,000 fine

Charging refugees for legal work despite having been struck off: £2858 fine

Claiming benefits while making money as the creator of Rastamouse: community service – thanks in part to an intervention by Hehir’s eight year-old daughter

That’s an act of wilful vandalism – this was peaceful protest.

Have any “blade runners” received prison sentances?

You have to be an absolute boomer to celebrate this verdict

That’s an act of wilful vandalism – this was peaceful protest.

Given that JSO have done various acts including spraying paint on Stonehenge, smashing windows. damaging aircraft and vandalising artworks under the banner of  ‘peaceful protest’, why, exactly, do you think that cutting down ULEZ cameras doesn’t quality? 

and applied equally to all by an independent judiciary

if any of us find ourselves in a court of law, we are all subject to the same proceedings and judgements, which we will be made well aware of

We’re really not. Poor people tend to have a worse defence than rich ones. Politics and the judiciary are separate in name only. The M25 is blocked lots of times for a plethora of reasons. The rail strikes caused more inconvenience to your average working stiff over the last couple of years. Shall we take conductors and train drivers to court? Just tell them that being part of a union is no longer an acceptable defence. Much more of a **** nuisance than what the JSO folk did.

For what it’s worth I don’t agree with their tactics but the sentences handed down weren’t for the crimes committed. They were purely political. Making an example of people. I hope it leads to larger scale, more disruptive protests. As others have stated, if things continue as they are we may as well say bollocks to relatively harmless protests and go straight for civil unrest.

Given that JSO have done various acts including spraying paint on Stonehenge,

Wrong.  It was harmless biodegradable powder

You have to be an absolute boomer to celebrate this verdict

This ‘boomer’ doesn’t, nor does any of his ‘boomer’ mates. Idle thought, you’d have to be an absolute **** to insult and stereotype people based on their age.

Well said !

Good. ‘cking nutters. Should be in the funny farm.

I dunno blokeuptheroad.  These millennials are a bit much.  back in my day………

Oh, hello Whataboutery. The topic at hand is people receiving lengthy custodial sentences for discussing legitimate protest. Famously, the “paint” they use is hoovered away in seconds – got no problem with any of them receiving realistic sentences where criminal damage is caused.

Politically motivated excessive sentencing is always politically motivated excessive sentencing.  What would criminal damage like that attract normally? Not 5 years, so no cheers for that from me. Anyway they, like Sunak and The Tractors, will not see the inside of a courtroom.

Please do not be so offensive here.

Well, first, they have never sprayed paint on stonehenge. But let’s not worry about the facts here, because what actually matters is that this court case was nothing to do with any of that, it was for discussing a peaceful, inconvenient but nondamaging protest. Not even for doing the protest, just for discussing it. So this is some weak-ass whataboutery. “What about these unconnected things?”

Think i said something earlier to the point, but the sad reality is that this was always going to end in a case like this. Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and others have pushed the peaceful protests for a few years now, as much as there’s positives on here, they have had widespread condemnation across the country (and world), which has been played by the politicians.

Again, not picking a side, but i feel this was always going to happen with the way they were going, it has been a confrontation from the start, which is basically their mandate, i’m just glad we haven’t seen a serious incident at the protests, yes i know there’s been a fair bit of violence, but i’m on about the idiot doing something seriously horrific to protesters.

A few more jailed for blocking the M25.

“Five environmental activists who aimed to “create mass disruption” have been jailed for their role in protests that caused widespread traffic disruption on the M25.

The Just Stop Oil campaigners climbed gantries on the motorway in November 2022, forcing police to stop the traffic, in an attempt to cause gridlock across southern England.”

I’ll bet you’re opening the Lidl champers tonight

For me it’s more about proportionality of sentence… I mean you can batter someone half to death or rape someone and you might be out in 5 years with good behavior…

It’s all backwards if you ask me.

as on the Southport thread, what sentences can the rioters expect, if planning to cause a traffic jam gets five years?

[edited, whoops]

Southport !!

Ive been wondering the same, I’m betting that basically torching city streets and attacking police will get you less time, if any. A mad old world.
