A quick related ish, story if you have a moment. My son lives in France and a few months ago, actually it was last year I think not that it matters, he told me that eco protestors attempted to block a main road, and the police were not required. He said, as soon as they started to sit in the road angry motorists got out of their cars and none too gently threw them over crash barriers. Within two minutes traffic was moving as normal. When he told me this, and it's not easy to say this, but I did feel a grudging respect for the French. Why I we so compliant in this country? There was a similar vid (can't find it now), again of a sit down protest somewhere in London where a couple guys got out their cars/vans and tried to pull the protesters off the road as a fire engine under blues was trying to get through but was stuck in the traffic jam...the police stopped them...I mean for fuck sakes.... I've seen it, it's mad. I've always been pro cop, until now. The police today are an embarrassment. |

Dumb as rocks they deserve locking up, we had investment in the largest battery producing plant in Europe and a government who had no choice to back it at the time, they couldn't even work out if they didn't get behind it, the government would back out at the first excuse and still blabber some old pony about net zero. Now it is all in the hands of the Chinese.
