Speaks better than that Truss woman.

errrm - not hard that - I mean you are not going to be given an interview if you just stand there like someone sedated and just stare grin and blink - unless you are answering in morse using the blinks I suppose

from what is clear on the news when they protest on roads they wear High Viz

In the night time sure wear high viz and reflectors , but unless you are blind how can you miss someone glued to a road on broad daylight.

Just as high viz is made from plastics there is far too many of them unecessaraly in my opinion as they are not enviromentally friendly

I’m amazed with what’s going on, there haven’t been protests/riots. Everyone seems to have had the fight knocked out of them since Covid.

They do tend to be worn with hard hats too. Scrap them on environmental grounds? I don't think that environmentally HV vests are that big a worry TBH

More and more strikes are coming - people in employment but who are not organised - the old and the young will be hit very badly by what's coming thats when they will protest. If there are pickets outside railway stations, hospitals, bus depots, schools etc they can swell the ranks there - if things get unruly there are no way enough Police on duty to control everyone.

I remember the poll tax riots. Now that was a protest!

I remember being sent down to HMSO in Manchester from the CIS after the Moss Side Riots to pick up some forms relating to the Riot Act and insurers reclaims some of their outlay or something - all a bit of a blur now.

This is how these attention seeking morons should be dealt with :

We’ve never been a country of rioters to be fair, only very occasionally.

Not sure if reality has kicked in for a lot of people or if at the moment it is hysteria from the media.

It has been a mild autumn combined with government support payments off setting energy bills. I would imagine when usage increases and it is hurting the pockets of people they will take to the streets. Likewise when it comes to mortgage renewals although I'm not entirely sure what is actually being offered.
