    She was part of a group who were literally blocking a motorway.

    They could have caused a serious accident. The idea that they’re “not a threat to anything else” is not true.

      Those Farage-saluting farmers literally blocking roads with their tractors? Cheered on as the “Farmy Army” by the press. It’s completely different, isn’t it and, of course, tractors can’t cause accidents and never stop ambulances from passing.

          Not according to millionaire-owned media. Farmers good. Climate activists bad. Blocking roads for greed is justified whereas blocking roads to try and save humanity is criminal.

      No, no they couldn’t have. Pedestrians literally legally cannot cause an accident with a vehicle. The driver will always be liable, even if those pedestrians are breaking the law.

      how exactly could they have caused a serious accident? violently slamming their bodies against a car with such force that it crumples the front?
