    Meanwhile other protestors (linked to the F1 ones?) are gluing themselves to and doing vandalising around famous art: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-62050348

    If you glue yourself to something, being dragged away seems an appropriate level of force where beating people up clearly isn't. You'd leave behind a layer of skin and have a great story to tell about suffering for your cause.

    How would that help the situation to know "it costs more somewhere else?"

    Yep more protesters...



    https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/motorist-...lock-motorway/

    Roads in various parts of the country could be subject to traffic jams on Monday as protesters take action and call for a cut in fuel duty.

    Protests will target mainly three-lane motorways and see slow-downs on two lanes, leaving the fast lane free, according to FairFuelUK founder Howard Cox.

    While he said his organisation is not involved in the action, he is "fully supportive" of the demonstrations so long as they are conducted legally.

    The protests are understood to be organised via social media under the banner Fuel Price Stand Against Tax.


    Organisers have indicated an intention to block the Prince of Wales Bridge, with the protest starting on the M4 at Magor services, junction 23A eastbound, and junction 20 of the M4 westbound.

    Disruption is also possible in Essex and Gloucestershire.

    Chief Superintendent Tom Harding said he would encourage drivers to reconsider their journey, consider working from home and avoid the area where possible.
