You only have to look at the smug, grinning faces of these people - and I use the term loosely - to see how much they're enjoying themselves. At our expense. They're not really protesting at anything, they're just having fun - and the police are supporting them.
If they REALLY cared they would protest in China and India where the pollution to the world is uncontrolled...built then, that would involve REAL bravery, as THEY would have less than zero tolerance for it!
If they were as brave as they say they are, they would go where the pollution is TRULY harming the earth in China and India and protest there..but then, that would involve GENUINE bravery since the authorities would 'deal' with them less politely and then you'd see their real cowardice come out!
A) they have been taken over by woke zealots (aided and abetted by the stupid tick box quotas rather than the best person for the job)
B) they are in their cars and not on the streets therefore 1 step removed from the tax paying, law abiding members of the public that they purport to serve .
C) our overly litigious society where the legal system seem to be hell bent on defending the indefensible (again at the cost to the wage/legal fee paying tax payer.
D) the government is overrun with said legal workers who feather their own nests while in power in preparation for when they leave power (remind you of anyone Bliar and your human rights catastrophe so if the very few police (who are trying to do their jobs non politically) do dare to arrest anyone there are expensive inquiries
Our police forces are full of woke wallies from pro foreign anti british officers to ones that don't follow orders. Our Home Secretary agrees with the protesters.Wokery is infecting all parts of society. Worse than the great plague,because if they're too robust they get accused of brutality and if they're too soft they're accused of being useless.
Our police officers drive around in rainbow coloured police cars, lipstick, and stockings, that's just the male officers. All about keeping the tiny woke minority happy.
Let the public have a crack at policing it to free up Police resources. There'll be a fantastic clean up rate. They'll think twice about it in the future if they aren't mollycoddled.
Time to dispense some public justice on this lot, our police are far too interested on how they should address them before speaking to them or making them cups of coffee
It's because the Police in Britain have lost touch with the concept that they exist to serve the public. Like many public services they take the view that their own political leanings can determine how they do the job. They need a complete clear out.
British police are not fit for purpose, are totally soft on woketivists and will only act when it is politically beneficial to do so. They are a disgrace.
It's about time the Police Federation spoke out against the soft policing these people know will be used. Everyone is being damaged by this nonsense. The police force is either a service for those being damaged, or it's not. If it's not, then by all means de-fund it.
Blame the liberalist politically correct loons in Westminster who screech at a police to be nice whilst ignoring the violence and damage the criminals commit
Our woke police farce have zero respect from anyone and our so called justice system is a complete joke.Sadly the woke Marxists have infiltrated every institution in the UK, including the government, the police, the courts, the universities, the schools, the media, the art galleries, the museums and the Church.
These so called protesters have no idea just how irritating and pointless they are.Now go to their homes and remove anything connected to the oil, gas and coal industry. From heating appliances and vehicles to plastics and fabrics. Block travel by anything powered by same or electricity generated by same. And ensure their food has not been grown with man made fertilizers
Until the Brits recognise that the mainstream political parties don't care about anything other than milking the system to the detriment of the electorate NOTHING will change. Vote REFORM and change will happen.
The demented zealots should be offered a choice. Leave with their hands, or without them. As for no gas no oil - utter fools. Stupid, moronic, fools. from washers to seals - every single thing - including that super glue - is made from oil. Get them away, beat them senseless, publicise it so they never do it again. For every penny lost by destruction, protests etc MAKE THEM PAY BACK EVERY LAST PENNY. Garner it from their benefits and/or salaries. Just do it!
I really wish our police would treat the protesters in a similar manner, the ignorant lazy protesters need to be taught that it is not nice to spoil the lives of others. Our prisons need to be made harder and something to fear, the protesters need to be convicted and punished accordingly, maybe double the prison time each appearance in court. Make prisons basic and cheap, I would suggest an island somewhere off the coast of northern Scotland but anywhere would do (this goes for other offences as well)..! They don't deserve any special treatment. Especially considering they are usually the biggest hypocrites going
Because they are in league with the protesters, deliberately aiding and abetting those committing an offence and presumably following some hidden agenda which has nothing to do with law enforcement. Why Chief inspectors are no being dismissed must mean that the government is also in league with this law breaking.
Britain it so woke every weird little group that comes out the gutter gets priority over the majority I can remember when eco idiots complained about everything being made of steel and when we had to change to plastics which as we all know went really well don't we all eco nuts are on an ego trip they want UK back in the middle ages wonder what bandwagon they will be riding on next
Our police play politics instead of enforcing the law, these idiot protesters damaged property. The uk police protect the criminals and protesters instead of the victims or the public. When the public agree with protesters like fair fuel uk they go heavy handed.
Real reason the British Police and security won't do anything to avoid ABH and common assault which would land the police with the sack and security to sack and jailed. Not worth the risk of losing your career and life to these eco-losers.
Is it because they prefer to take the knee ? Drivers make a minor infringement and they are there like a ton of bricks but when there is a crime like this then it's a different matter ! Are the police and the criminal justice system in the UK fit for purpose ?
The left have take over all our public sector bodies and this is the outcome now brain washed individuals who are incapable of thought they're now just drones......police need to arrest these people and the courts need to jail them
The Police Service offered by people with no on-the-beat experience with degrees from one-time Polys is the cause. The rank and file are well-intentioned but appallingly led. Less lions and donkeys; more Leopards and Sloths. Why not have the police forces elect their own officers?
Why do these Ultra-Left woke hippies, always go limp when anyone touches them? No fight in them at all. I would have locked them in the art gallery alone, with no access to food, water or the media. They wouldn't last 5 minutes before crying for a caramel latte.
A slap on the hand if they get to Court. They can reasonably argue the police supported their action The police, even when these eco idiots had been sentenced and ordered to keep away from the M25, protected them by bringing them cups of coffee and muffins to eat. Time to let the inconvenienced drivers deal with them as the police are not competent. One woman on the way to hospital, until this nonsense started and blocked the road for 6 hours, died because of it. I hope the son presses charges
If I were in a museum admiring a painting (I like art), and saw two of those idiots gluing themselves to one, I'd probably jump in and beat the crop out of both. There's peaceful protest, but damaging invaluable pieces of history is unacceptable. Nothing is sacred in this world anymore and that's such a shame. Block the M25? class action lawsuits against them to recoup job losses and lost revenues. When they get hit with 30M payment, they'll think twice before they interfere with people's livelihoods.These eco-zealots have caused so much losses for nothing. Can't stop oil, unless you want to go medieval, and these greenies wouldn't survive a day in medieval mode...
Are the young jealous of the skills shown in these paintings? Are they out to destroy these beautiful works of art due to the fact that they will never achieve anything in life?
Actually what they are is brainless, utterly devoid of freedom of thought ...because of their University degree that no way would they have earned even less than twenty years ago. Our Universities are no longer a place of higher education, they are simply money-spinning so-called educational facilities that embrace the dollar rather than the mind. Critical thinking is no longer embraced by our money-hungry Universities. You can pay? We will award you your degree. Shameful!
The quality of police in Britain has fallen drastically since the entrance qualification standards were greatly reduced in the name of diversity ,the first group that got in through these reduced standards have now risen to the top ,that's why the police are now protecting criminals instead of locking them up,it would be interesting to see how many of today's officers could pass the qualification standards from the mid Seventies, I don't think it would be too many
Because our coppers now are soft, bring back the old style ones I remember from growing up in the 80s, no mucking about and asking twice with them. You either moved when told or were removed.
Because for some reason the UK has become a soft touch in all aspects, not just criminal damage, knife crime. murder including child murder, illegal entry into the UK, stop & search including carrying an offensive weapon, terrorism but our complete justice system is a joke and we the ordinary citizens of the UK are paying the price. Not one political party can do the job.
The woke left are strangling this country, nothing but a disease. They are in all walks of life now.
Why do British police REFUSE to deal with eco-protesters like this?" Because the Plod have been so much restricted by woke politicians and their idiot rules protecting loud and noisy minorities instead of the quiet majority. Carrie Johnson was instrumental, liaising with Cressida Dicks, in allowing Extinction Rebellion to shut down sections of London without Police stopping them or preventing them from committing numerous associated crimes. In other words, the wife of the then sitting PM was able to effectively disable the Police Force on matters of national security. Think about it. Who has been running the country since 2019?
It all went wrong when the Police Force became the Police Service (Big Corp Governance) The likes of Blair/Theresa May could explain it better, if only they were honest.
It's not entirely their fault, our Police Forces have had to combine the 'right' with a lot of dodgy police persons too. The majority of our Police force want a better, safer place ...they are not supported by their superiors who are too busy ducking and weaving this so-called fair society. I salute the bobby on the beat.
I'm somewhat befuddled as to why a bunch of uneducated, brash and zero contributors to society are allowed within a spit of great works of art. It's like book burning! These uneducated fools condemn all of us to a life without beauty, respect and appreciation. History is incredibly important to our growth as a society, a punk deciding (for us) that history is without context and value, not so much. Let's just pop them all onto their own island, Lord of the Flies...remove these dimwits from my space, please!
It's time to put protective screens in front of the art works and tell these Universities to expel these students who go out and put there Unis into disrepute as students they need to know better, thus security guard got the right idea the sooner the better we start fighting back at these zealots, pulling them off roads, running them over if need be we are not going to wait for the woke police to watch them give some water and ask them to leave ever politely is now what they expect and get away with. I prefer the continental way with force so they won't think of doing this again.
These bleeding heart do-gooders are only out there pretending to do something to help small groups "have a voice" but the truth is that they only do it to gain themselves attention, not to help anyone else, for example, these do-gooders start by marching for women's rights, then a better bandwagon comes along that they know will gain them even more attention like trans people, and then that new bandwagon starts to corrode women's rights to even be a part of nature, taking away the very definition of what being a women includes by nature, even going as far as to argue and fight against women's groups for the sake of tr.ans people. Until they find another new trend that they will make a mountain out of a mole hill for to gain their next attention grabbing fix. These types of people need to be put away for the sake of all humans, they need help from their own minds, they are unstable to desire such constant increasing attention on the scale they demand, to twist logic and nature for it.
That's why they keep doing it. They get arrested, get a little slap on the wrist. They then get released, to do it all again. Put them in jail for longer, take away any benefits if they are on any, and heavily fine them. I think most people have had enough of them.
It started about 25 years ago, when the Service was bring sued for millions each year for wrongful arrest, etc. The Job found it cheaper to settle rather than fight the civil litigations. Bean counters got involved and The Management decided that arresting people was a BAD idea, so they started sanctioning officers with high arrest rates who managed to get three complaints. Let 25 years of corrosion take effect and voila, no one is interested in arrested because they wont be supported.
These pathetic little 'useful idiots' are going to find out very soon just how much they've been duped over this climate BS and boy will they deserve all they get. Well done to that Italian man removing the dweebs, it puts our way of dealing with things to shame, they could learn a valuable lesson here, that's if the gov would let them of course..
I think the zealots have psychological problems that becoming extremists and getting public attention satisfies. You can't fight that with logic. The best we can do is begin to be so punitive that it's painful to them. It should be great penalties for blocking traffic. Gluing them selves to glass in a museum is a lesser issue and annoying but the minute they begin to intrude on the needs of other people and they need to be imprisoned and financially penalized
Protesters who go to far need to be treated like naughty children and dealt with roughly. There have to be some penalties for going to far. I think a museum guard should have the power to handcuff them and call the police. Or handcuff them and wheel them to the front door rudely. There needs to be a plan to get rid of them. Because we have not had a solid policy force since the mid 80's. They want the pension, but not the effort of working and serving the public. Coppers of old were driven and made up of solid people, not the snowflakes of PC diverse people who make up numbers, not dedicated constables they are a national disgrace, and they get worse every single day
Put glass cases around the gallery pictures. Arrest the motorway protestors. Give them at least 3 years in prison,. The money this all costs is staggering! They had global warming thousands of years ago. It's the cycle of things. I mean... what caused the ice age? There was no one around then with oil and petrol! The world was unpolluted.
ll educated, uncivilised, uncultured = the modern day overdramatics & zealots. Selfish, self conceited with a total lack of respect for all others or anything. The indoctrinating really begins in school as they try to deny history, & facts for their leaders own warped agendas making too many anxious & totally incapable of common sense (let alone life basics) from the word go. Accelerating through uni's & carrying into the workforce with the lazy, it's everyone else's fault, problem or my given right attitudes. Predominantly civil & public services. The other output also is the self labeling, everyone has to have an ailment of some type & constant excuses. Trouble now also is people use all of this for self gain, deliberately driving deeper divides for fame & fortune. This is now big business making money from the not so bright, gullible, vulnerable & naive, whose paths are being set out & manipulated from such a young age
There is something seriously wrong in this Country. It seems that the Chief Constables are in charge and can ignore law passed by Parliament . There have been several instances of the law being broken by these protesters but no action has been taken why not? . The only conclusion you can take from this is that they have been instructed on what action to take by the GOVERNMENT.
The reason the authorities there see things differently is they do not have armies of lawyers living off legal aid defending these people. We could do the same but we have become unable to do what is required as we witnessed recently. The woman who nudged the protester sitting in the road, got prosecuted, the protester committing a crime got no punishment. They always have a lot of people filming on phone here to provide evidence over n the EU the public want law to be upheld and it is
The Police have lost confidence, fearing litigation and an aggressive woke left. Unfortunately the public is losing confidence in the police as they prove ineffectual against protesters who break the law.
If something isn't done about these sort of situations soon where unemployed, benefits taking wokeys aren't dealt with the public will take it upon themselves and form groups that will go out and deal with them on their own. Kick them in the ribs as well then put them in jail and up the Jacksy for good measure
The woke left and deluded right must be brought to heel and it's not the fault of the police it's the fault of the judiciary that lets them get away with their crimes and the politicians who don't back up with new jails if necessary.
The Police here just act as bodyguards to the road-blocking trash, and then nick any motorist who looks rather cross about it. They're a complete joke. As for security guards at the National, they're probably paid minimum wage, don't speak English and don't give a toss about where they work and what they're supposed to do.British cops are internationally seen as the worst cops in the world- they treat criminals better than they treat victims- all thanks to your snowflake socialist culture!
Perhaps it is time to privatise - no need for the Police to attend - I am sure that for the right money it would be possible to set up a security team to remove these so called protesters. They could give them a simple choice - Move or we will make you. move - Note we wear big boots and carry big sticks.
Sick to death of this woke country.because the British Police are woke, leftie numpties. The rot started when they let university graduates go straight in to the police, initially as sergeants and then straight in as Inspectors. No knowledge of how to do the job gained by experience on the ground and working your way up, but plenty of woke, leftie rubbish in their brains and like a lot of British institutions, they are pathetically incompetent woke liberals.
British police are too wet and there are too many pathetic losers who would sue. Anyone who flies them selves to a painting or a road should be kicked unconscious and then hands ripped from the thing and imprisoned for 5 years. With regular bearings.
