UK far right trouble

You don't think stopping emergency vehicles causes any harm? In my opinion that's a very serious offence and if anyone's died as a result of stopping an ambulance, police officer, or fire engine from getting to a threat-to-life situation, arguably manslaughter. You cannot frame that as a non-violent offence.

Throwing soup at a painting is obviously a lot less serious than the above and a lot less serious than child rape. I'd agree the people locked up shouldn't be getting longer than a child rapist however, they still attempted to cause millions of pounds worth of property damage given the value of the painting so I don't think the sentence is out of line with the sentencing regime for property offences. If anything, you could argue it was lenient.

Are there any examples of Just Stop Oil protesters being imprisoned for speech offences or offensive tweets?

So what should we give these poor farmers that were in that there London today then?
A couple of years in pokey for possibly stopping or slowing down an ambliance that was maybe on its way to someone who might have croaked?

Personally, I see a great parallel between the riots across the UK, and January 6th in the US.

Two lots of entitled right wing parts of society who used the earliest thing to latch on to, to cry arse about that their “side” lost.

And then cry arsed about consequences of doing so.

Too cold for them to set fire to hotels now.

They may try again next summer.

Are they protesting in Westminster or on the M25 to deliberately grind the transport system to a halt? If it's the latter then I'd support them receiving exactly the same sentences to the JSO protesters depending on intent and previous convictions etc. That's how justice works.

Is civil disobedience going down the same shithole as freedom of speech in the UK now, too?

Goodness me, I do hope it’s not something I really care about next!

…and then they came for me!

Laughable that Starmer has raised the case of Jimmy Lai to the Chinese who, amongst other things, has been jailed for Twitter posts.

Starmer calls for strong UK-China relationship after meeting with Xi at G20

Starmer challenged President Xi over the detention of Jimmy Lai as he became first British PM to meet Chinese leader in more than half a decade

The Chinese would have laughed us out of town. We have no moral authority to complain about locking anyone up for speech crimes.

I seen a big fuck off tractor driven through a barricade and straight at the coppers. Three years?

I've not seen the footage so can't comment but if it's to endanger life then yeah absolutely they should be arrested.

I notice you didn't answer my last question though, I've not seen much of the farmers' protests but I'm assuming they're not blocking the M25 then?

This is the issue. You're seeing everything through the prism of party politics and why you're not too bothered about losing some basic freedoms.

Good to see Labour and Manchester MP Graham Stringer understand some things are more important than Labour Vs Tory and condemn the Stasi-like policing that's going on in this country at the moment:

He was arrested for unlawful assembly not encouraging peopleto burn down buildings.If he was he would be in a prison facing execution for terrorism charges.

You are insane if you actually believe this shit.
