Lock Them Up!!! - XR that is

[SueEllen]

Apparently the injunction just names the M25.

So they just need to block all roads on the junctions that lead up to it......

They are busy comparing themselves to the likes of Gandhi and Churchill yet are completely unsavvy with the media.

You kinda gotta know you've ****ed up when the entire country hates you and the powers that be grant special injections to lock you up. They do say bad publicity is good publicity but you have to think that this one is an exception to the rule.

Or here, for those outside the country!

Good. All in favour of tackling climate change, but it doesn't help the cause to disrupt peoples' lives. Generally it's annoying when protesters, whether it's climate change or BLM or whatever, intrude too much on our personal space.

Did you see the guy throw a paddy and walk off set on the TV this morning? They really are a set of eejits. Possibly the worst run campaign in the history of demonstrating. The entire country hates them, their leader is a hypocrite of the highest order and the courts are after them. Complete and utter disaster. Hopefully we will see the back of this lot very soon.

You mean this?

FTFY. In the interests of pedantry.

It's an injunction on the rabble protesters to not block the motorway. If they breach it, then that's contempt of court, with unlimited fines and maximum imprisonment of 2 years.

sounds good to me.

The government has got an injunction to block up protestors blocking the M25

A court injunction has been granted to National Highways against protesters targeting the M25, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said.



Climate change activists from Insulate Britain could face imprisonment as a result of the High Court decision.



The group has blocked various parts of the M25 five times in the last week.



On Twitter, Mr Shapps said the "activists will face contempt of court with possible imprisonment if they flout".



Home Secretary Priti Patel, who described protesters' actions as "selfish" last week, said the "important injunction" would mean "people can get moving again" on the London orbital motorway.



"We will not tolerate lives being put at risk," she said.



"Those who continue to do so risk imprisonment.
