Would the Insulate Britain Protests Work in Manchester?

[Ja Salford Blue]

Simple question, what would be the reaction if they blocked say, Regent Road, Oldham Road, Princess Parkway or The Crescent etc?

 

[skiddypants]

If they glued themselves in Manchester,
I think some hoodies would rob em, spray them with cs gas.
Probably spike em for a laugh.

Mine personally, if I still lived there, would be to drag them off the street by their nipples.

With the state of drivers in Manchester they would be too busy speeding up any of those roadd (if possible) not notice them and run them over.

Would regent rd or the parkway at peak times be any different, places are always jammed and at a crawl anyway if you hit the wrong time.


This protest is a funny one, as I think they're cunts when they block ambulances and fire engines etc, but a person driving somewhere they could walk to if they wanted as it is less than 2 miles away to not so much

My reaction would be to make them all a nice cup of tea

Exactly they may/may not have a point that something needs to change but this sort of disruption really affects Joe Public and could cost lives stopping workers/emergency services/taking Police who are few and far between off more important matters.

They'd be given the freedom of the cities of Manchester and Salford for pissing off motorists.
Those councils love to disrupt travel even though there often aren't viable public transport alternatives.

I’m sure they do protest on the M60 -everyday near Barton bridge/Trafford Centre betweem 3pm - 6.30pm
You don’t fucking move :-)

That’s the smart motorway arm of their movement.

Its interesting because last week I said "I'd just run the fuckers over" yet this week I draw the line at spraying ink at them.

Got to be cheaper than rumble strips...

Roads in and around town are a joke anyway. Wouldn’t make much of a difference.

A couple of years ago before Xmas they or another group blocked Grt Ancoats St.

And add a large spoonful of cascara into each cup, but only when they've glued themselves to the road.
Shithouses (they would soon be).

 

[RandomJ]

They would struggle to glue themselves down with the state of the roads in Manchester.

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

♫ Don't block my road,
Please don't block my road,
I just don't wanna go to work,
I wanna stay here, ink all yout ears ♫

What biscuits for dunking?

 

[Phil1]

I’d probably nip into the Winchester until it all blew over.

 

[dickie davies]

I wish they'd glue themselves into Princess parkway
They'd fill the holes
