Nigel Farage

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.

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.

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.

Yep.
One mans ambulance blocker is another's terrorist....
 
Musk is all over Farage now. Pushing the election petition hard and retweeting lots of Britain first posts. Im seeing more people I know on Facebook also posting lots of immigrant stuff and parroting the right wing lines for Britain.

There was actually footage of an ambulance being blocked by the farming protesters whereas I have never seen footage of one actually blocked by JSO ( If anyone can correct me please do) - but as it stands I agree with you - one lot are alleged ambulance blockers the other lot have been filmed doing the deed

Surely this is some kind of joke? I genuinely hope no-one believes the above video is comparable to blocking the M25 haha!!
 
Farage is such a transparent wanker. He retweeted the petition bollocks, calling it extraordinary or some such but without explicitly endorsing it so he can't be accused of anything specific. Very Farage, always happy to whip up a mob but very very assiduous about avoiding putting himself in the line of fire. Must piss himself laughing about the number of ordinary folk he's got jumping to his tune whilst he grifts away.

Musk is a very dangerous man. His mum alluded to the fact he has a 'developmental disorder' in a social media post back in October, and yet there are practically no guardrails to keep his seemingly megalomaniacal behavior in check.

I don't know who is pulling his strings, but the whole scenario should be setting alarm bells off for everyone who isn't a right-wing nutjob.

Wonder if he said the same thing about the similarly pointless, 6m strong petition that wanted to reverse Brexit?

Surely when you're one of the richest madmen in the world, you don't need anyone to pull your strings?
