I'm perhaps a little pedantic but if the new law is that interfering with national infrastructure (including roads) is a crime then surely the police should have been detained as well?
“At 10:10am, a number of Metropolitan police arrived and began pushing the Just Stop Oil supporters back and forming a chain across the road,” they said.
After all the police formed a chain across the road which would've seriously held up traffic.
That's one thing I really do not get. The US is absolutely awash with weapons, some very high powered.
Yet it's schools and concerts that get shot up and not wherever crazy fascist orange people hang out. I'm not advocating shooting up anywhere but it's weird that it's schools and concerts etc
