I don’t see any deliberate attempt at blocking an ambulance there at all. I see an ambulance trying to gain access through a road where a planned march is taking place and it driving slowly through the crowd with a police officer at the front no doubt telling people to make way.

To sum up your full of shit as per.

Of course it's not a deliberate attempt to block it. I think the point is that when a similar thing has happened at other protests, (even if purely hypothetical), we heard so much about how the protests were 'blocking ambulances' and preventing people getting lifesaving treatment. And of course people's concern for the safe movement of ambulances seems to be entirely based around how they feel about the protest.

Personally, I've got no issue with farmers protesting and involving themselves in a bit of civil disobedience if they feel strongly about an issue.

I think the questions are done on a lottery basis to some degree.

A Reform MP has been allowed a question every week. I cannot recall a Green being afforded the same?

I don't think it's been every week, but more than the Greens I would agree with.

However, it's irrelevant. People who want to ask questions apply, and some of them are selected. Maybe Reform MPs always apply so they can do some performing.

JSO where sat there glued to the road so in what way was it similar?

Wouldn't surprise me as they want the TikTok 10 second sound bites.

In what way is driving a bunch of tractors into central London not done to block the roads and cause an inconvenience? That's sort of the point of civil disobedience. The only footage I saw of an ambulance during the JSO protests was remarkably similar to this one. An ambulance having to slow down as large numbers of people on the street had to move out of the way. Every other example was a hypothetical 'what if?' I'd imagine the emergency services are well versed in dealing with road closures and disruptions given that they happen all across the country for all sorts of reasons. I think the hypothetical possibility of an ambulance being delayed is a BS argument that people make about protests they don't like.

There was one where the newspapers tried to claim that someone died because of climate protesters when an air ambulance attended the scene ffs.
