sunny dave - // So - enough of the prevarication - would you support the right to block traffic in this situation ... if a member of your family was sat in the ensuing traffic jam in an ambulance? //

You appear to be misconstuing my constant attempts to be as objective and fair as I can in all debates, to be tacit approval of the actions of these idiots.

In order to be beyond doubt, I would not support the right to block traffic in this situation on a country cart track at two in the morning.

I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

suny-dave - // Of course we mustn't let the right to protest be eroded - but (in all actuality) the people eroding the right to protest are the people misusing it so egregiously here. //

Again in the interests of clarity, I entirely agree with your point here as well.

[sunny-dave]

Good - that's reduced the complexity level a bit then

Happy to help.

You will know, as a regular, than in every debate, I always try to present a fair argument, and keep my personal feelings out of the issue being discussed, unless it is directly relevent.

But if that position means that I appear to agree with the actions of attention-seeking idiots like this, then that is a misconception I am delighted to demolish, and I believe I have done so.

Onwards ...

I love the way the Mail calls him the 'mastermind', as if he's a Bond villain a something, but Mail nonsense aside, these people are selfish diicks.

[andy-hughes]

Being the 'mastermind' of a load of mouth-breathing soap dodgers is not something to boast about.

[anneasquith]

Are all these protesters really dirty AH ?

[fcc]

Yes they are and want throwing in the sheep dip.

[anneasquith]

FCC. Are you answering for AH ?

[youngmafbog]

If the Police cant deal with them then they need to move out the way and let the public do it. They wouldn't be doing it for to much longer, only takes a "Kenneth Noye" type and they are toast.

Just read that he was studying for a PhD at King’s College London between 2017-2019.What for you ask…How to bring about social change by public disobedience,you couldn’t make it up.

//Best I can think of at the moment is to use water cannons //
As I have advocated several times on AB, it is time that serious consideration wa given to the use of water cannons.

[andy-hughes]

Anne - I don't think the protesters are necessarily dirty as a requirement, the term 'soap dodger' is a genetic term for eco-protesters.

[andy-hughes]

Generic!
