Thanks for sharing that wonderful bit of info, but what’s that got to do with milk being poured over a cheese counter? Pmsl

Things can be okay and illegal.
Because I chose not to answer the slimmest of hypotheticals. Do you think people who live in Belgravia might be inconvenienced but be able to call a cab?
Maybe I care more about pedestrians and children having to breathe in pollutants.

"I was responding to a specific person who was already talking about SUVs."
I can't support the vegan protesters despite thinking they are have a point on some things, because I consume animal produce.
Ah ok. I’ve read you don’t have a car through choice, so at least you’re not being hypocritical :)
However, anyone touches my property, consequences would occur
Surely you don’t think it’s right to do something negative to someone else’s property just because you have different beliefs tho do you?
Wouldn’t it be more pertinent to lobby the car manufacturers or government to stop making SUVs if people feel that strongly about them, as causing SuV drivers mither isn’t going to change their minds about owning an SUV, all it will do is entrench people against the protesters, which kinda defeats the idea of a protest no?
Out of interest, are you a cyclist, Walker/runner, public transporter (bus wanker), or agoraphobic?

It’s not about beliefs it is about consequences of unnecessary, unreasonable and selfish consumption. Don't construct strawmen.
No I don't. Car manufacturers respond to demand, the public demand for SUVs keeps going up. Even fully electric SUVs don't belong in city centres, they take up too much space and increase likelihood of fatalities in RTCs.
The protesters target affluent people who already consume too much. They won't change their minds, but at least they are dishing out some karma.
I walk, use buses and trains, there's no point of using buses where I live (not often enough and doesn't make sense over walking). I'm on holiday at the moment, lol sort of I work from home. But I'm currently almost 2700 miles from the UK.

I once experienced a female student shouting this back to the bus she was alighting to the university campus.
I doubt she read English literature... ;)
There is no strawman. You believe people are being selfish, unreasonable & unnecessary fuel consumption, so shouldn’t own an SUV.
That is your belief, so own it mate. These SUV drivers believe it’s their right to own an SUV & consume whatever fuel they like, so it’s exactly about beliefs, nothing at all to do with a strawman
With that in mind, do think it’s right to do something negative to someone else’s property just because you have different beliefs?
As for the car manufacturers part, you’ve got it arse about face mate. Stop the manufacturers & you stop SUV sales full stop. If there’s no supply, it doesn’t matter what the demand is no? You can’t buy something which doesn’t exist mate
Protesting against motorists will only have a negative effect on the message the protestors are trying to get across, as they won’t win the minds of anyone, which is surely the end game if you want change?
The point these protestors have is valid, the way they’re going about it is stupid & moronic
With regards to the affluent comment & karma, I’m sorry mate, but why on earth would affluent people who drive SUVs need some sort of karma?

Someone needs to give them a fucking good hard number of punches and see how long it lasts then? Just who the fuck do these people think they are when they walk into someone else's premises and intentionally start to wreck and damage goods and property just because they want to 'protest'? Can you imagine if someone marched unannounced into their houses or property and started to do the same? The world is fucked!
Not an SUV fan, but targetting people in Bacup which doesn't have a train station for about 6 miles and is up hill in any direction and more or less country side 400m from the main road is daft.
In a bad snow year it is one of the places you willl need such a car.
Middle class wallies targeting poor areas.
