Just Stop Oil protests

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Wholly disproportionate sentence and abuse of the fact that causing a public nuisance is a common law offence and therefore has a maximum sentence of life by default.

They'll be out after 3 months

 

[Postman Pep]

The longest ever prison sentence for nonviolent action kind of deserves the longest ever Twitter post.

 

[Don Karleone]

Maybe the cap fits, but achieves nothing. Probably the contrary because it just reinforces division.

Well, mollycoddling them didn't work. Fuck em.

I always find calling people short sighted dickheads is a really good approach to winning hearts and minds to change points of view.

Well this is the internet

Why do you think people are trying to win the hearts of dickheads, I'm sorry they will always be dickeads.

Literally the entire point of just stop oil protests is to change attitudes.

Some of the things Christopher Hehir has said and done during this trial strike me as wholly inappropriate. I still haven't seen a cogent explanation why he had 11 peaceful protesters outside court arrested and detained yet a number of days later when a much larger number did exactly the same thing with the same types of signs he chose to do nothing.
