@burn 4 years for blocking traffic what the fuck?!?
@rewarp yeah, especially given that the M25 is essentially a self-blocking system in the first place, amazed anyone noticed

@rewarp it's actually amazing.

"Forty-five Just Stop Oil protesters climbed gantries on the motorway in November 2022, forcing police to stop the traffic, in an attempt to cause gridlock across southern England". For FOUR DAYS. "nearly 51,000 hours of driver delays".

People protect the law, the law doesn't protect people. I have been thinking of this Psycho-pass quote a lot these days. It's just a matter of time before laws are dismantled by the people they don't serve.
