  1. But the police need to gather evidence to prove wrongdoing. Then back to the station to write it up. That then goes to public prosecutor office. If they feel there is enough evidence to secure a conviction it goes to court. Where a highly paid JSO lawyer claims the protesters had been falsely arrested & should receive damages.

  2.  @retro1980x  They are possibly smart enough to avoid a criminal record for assault.

  3.  @johnmolina3284  At least he appears to believe in equality.

  4. Looks like the police handled a tricky situation with tact. Did not wind it up to another level.

  5.  @johnmolina3284  It’s called equality.

  6.  @Phretik  I agree. Israel has got a way with taking the mick for decades. The world has more or less let them get on with it.

  7.  @Ibra-bm1jl6qw9x  But many people In many countries weren’t silent.

  8.  @ISirSmoke  I believe it’s better to defuse a situation rather than make it worse. What’s wrong with that ?

  9.  @VulpinetideCuteTimes0w0  I am not qualified to even begin answering that question.

  10. Was he trying to trigger a breach of the peace. Perhaps arrested for his own safety.

  11. Just walking slowly in the road is not an offence in itself. The Highway Code give pedestrians priority over other road users.

  12. Yep let’s see the police give people a chance to start shouting. Police brutality.

  13. Look around the world many don’t appear to give a monkey’s. Also is it already too late so best enjoy the party while it lasts. Don’t let JSO take away your freedom.

  14. Just Stop Oil are just one group aiming to deny people their rights.

  15.  SmallvilleFann1983  Trouble is the videos show the protesters walking slowly but only for a very short time, not enough for a conviction. A flash lawyer may even claim false arrest. People attacking the protesters further muddied the water. One of the reasons for going flash mob is :- Don’t give the police time to turn up.

  16.  @johannthomas6085  Because JSO have moved to ‘Flash Mob’ tactics. In grab some video & gone before the police can arrest them. Leaves them free to be somewhere else a few hours later. Video goes on YouTube with comments aiming to put the blame for the holdups on the police.

  17. @henrylister143Possibly true but look around. Many believe that JSO are just another group trying to destroy their freedom. Other like me have looked around at attitudes around the world decided most don’t really give a monkeys so best enjoy the party while it lasts.

  18. The police can’t send anyone to jail. It has to go through the courts before that can happen.

  19.  @WildTrek This thing about no democratic mandate is tosh. Action on cutting vehicle pollution appeared on two Mayoral candidates manifestos. Between them they picked up over 90% of the vote. The person who became Mayor picked up over 50%. He is now honouring his commitment actually doing what he promised.

  20.  @WildTrek It totally possible to vote the Mayor out at the next election. He received over 50% of the votes at the last election. The person who came second and also promised action on vehicle pollution polled over 40%. Meaning over 90% voted in favour. It could change after the next election but. The city would still need to find a way to meet it’s legal obligation on vehicle pollution.

  21.  @WildTrek  It is possible to vote the Mayor out. But he got back in polling over 50% of the votes last time. It appears that ULEZ is popular with the electorate. London is not the only UK city with low pollution zones. Manchester is keeping pollution down by cutting access to all vehicles.

  22.  @adamcrookedsmile Sabotage is not a legitimate form of protest. I have seen people being a pain.But as yet I have not seen actual sabotage.

  23.  @davidclarke1705 He discouraged one person from ending up in court on an assault charge. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Does anyone else feel that JSO are alienating themselves in the eyes of the general public. Almost as though they perhaps don’t know it but are being funded by the oil companies.

  24.  @dewolf123  No amount of word salad will make two wrongs a right.

  25. Just Stop Oil don’t appear to be winning friends & influencing people. Has a second country found a way for them to spread decent ? Most people don’t appear to want to do anything to combat this so called climate change. Just enjoy the party while it lasts.

  26. What term do they use.

  27. I have decided to enjoy the party while it lasts.

  28. Just Stop Oil should perhaps read. Just one more group trying to take away our freedoms.
