M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

BREAKING: M25 Protesters from Insulate Britain, face going to prison, after Highways agency was granted an Injunction by a court judge, ordering them to stay off the motorway.

These eco terrorists have been very stupid lately, stopping traffic doing 70mph across all lanes and sitting down, on a live motorway of the M25.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Since when has anybody been able to do 70mph on the M25? The fact it is jammed a lot of time, might mean the protestors have a point.

Unfortunately quiet protests/petitions are ignored and ridiculed, this gets the headlines.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Insulate Britain’s protests should definitely be ridiculed, stopping live traffic, potentially causing a pile up, preventing people getting to appointments, stopping ambulances getting to people, who are on the verge of death. Yes they ought to be bloody ridiculed.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Silly protestors that cause more problems than good. Throw the book at them.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Thought their point was to increase insulation in homes and properties -> lower fuel use at home. I understand they want to make a visible statement and that quiet protests are ignored but moving into live traffic on a busy motorway repeatedly isn't going to win favours.
They needed to be more varied and move protests around else they miss the headline they really want. Think guerrilla tactics, change often, skip days, protest in different places nationally. Be inventive and disrupt as little as possible - you want support not just to make a point.

Yes we do need to sort out transport especially the "infernal combustion engine" (see Harry Harrison - Stainless Steel Rat). Work from home really helped and business should keep that going. They should move hours around so avoiding "rush hour(s)".

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Or maybe they should encourage people working from home where possible?Now is the time to reinforce that idea.Also encourage more freight onto trains?

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

not sure why an injunction was required, Blocking a public highway is an arrestable offence

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I'm in two camps on this, when extinction rebellion were being pains it made my life a misery but we as a whole country are in agreement that something meaningful has to be done now and all you get from the government is lip service and kicking it down the road, that notwithstanding I remember how angry I was at the time and how much trouble I had controlling myself back then and think for me a happy balance is going to be them going to prison for a cause most of us believe in

Yes arrestable but not jailable

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Because, they can be arrested and held for 24 hours and then released, it's been rinse and repeat with some of these IB folk - the Injunction holds more weight in power, because being in contempt of a court order can lead to imprisonment.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Tbf bail conditions could have been imposed from day 1 like don't go within 2 miles of a motorway but the injunction is more powerful

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued

with a good hard crack around the head, followed by a good kicking.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

. . . and swipe their pocket money too ;)

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

nick their bus passes.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

It'll be served when they try and get on I'd imagine, it's to deter them from coming back, either way don't get hung up on it, I suspect this might be in it's death throes now

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

If they sit in the middle of the M25, death is a distinct possibility.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

So this only applies to the M25? Can anyone spot a problem with that?

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Personally, anyone claiming JSA should be banned for claiming for a year

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

You mean protesters right ? not anyone claiming JSA.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Oh I don't know . . . it's worth a go at least :D

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I'm sure if they ask Prince Andrew's advisers nicely, they'll receive some advanced tips on how to avoid injunctions being served on them. ;)

BREAKING: Police have this morning, arrested nearly 40 Insulate Britain eco terrorists who blockaded the entrance at the Port of Dover.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Terrorists ? Really? No weapons, just seem to be sitting in the road. Don't really look like member of al-qaeda.... Sad day if we label peaceful protestors as terrorists, whether you agree with them or not.

I've added a link as you forgot....

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

There's degrees of terrorism, they make innocent peoples lives a misery with politically motivated events designed to get media attention to further their cause and whilst I wouldn't call them terrorists myself I'm not going to criticise anyone else for labeling them such and let's not kid ourselves that these berks haven't caused people's deaths because they have and when pulled up on it they sounded just like the apologist **** that used to speak up for the ira regretting the loss of innocent life

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

What is sad is you supporting and attempting to justify these idiots.

Their cretinous actions are nothing short of terrorism. They’re trying to hold ordinary people “hostage”, not letting them go their ordinary way life and trying to blackmail the government and now they’re deliberately trying to stop imports in to the country. Absolute bunch of pricks.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I support their cause and I'd even respect them if they went to Whitehall and glued themselves to the railings outside Parliament or stuck their faces to the road by downing Street but they won't because they know they'd be carted of before the first photo was snapped, they can't impact the lives of the important people that matter so the ordinary people have to suffer instead

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

No doubt they'll just move on to another port.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Again they need to be more guerilla minded. Turn up, cause some disruption, make a point then move on quickly, maybe before the police arrive and certainly before they arrive in numbers. Would be ironic if they delayed shipment of insulating materials.


They could get creative and turn up somewhere and offer to insulate a property.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Well they're on a hiding to nothing if they think that they can blackmail El Gov. into insulating 17+ million homes at the tax payers expense.

Many homes are not suitable for certain types of insulation anyway as those left with horrendous rising damp and mould issues can testify.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

So you are saying that they are either retired, or fully employed and that no one is claiming benefits?

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

What :confused:

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Sorry I misread your comment, yes I meant any protestors claiming JSA should be banned from claiming it.


Plus those throwing paint and supergluing themselves to stuff should have criminal damage to their crimes

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

BREAKING: Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps in the last hour has tweeted to say the government has been granted an interim injunction against Insulate Britain that prevents them from blocking the port of Dover and the A20 and strategic roads and access around it.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

The minister has sent a tweet.... He's paid a lot to do that. Maybe Grant should get an HGV licence and earn his money?

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

BREAKING: Eco Terrorists: Insulate Britain defy M25 Injunction by targeting Junction 14 near Heathrow Airport.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Just seen that on the news Mick, a report about the climate protesters concerns, followed by a report on the La Palma volcano that's set to keep spewing crap out for the next 3 months . . . wonderful continuity :D

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Cops should take them straight to court, then jail.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

See they've blockaded a small airfield now where private planes fly from, this might be a better use of their time as private jets much do exponentially more damage than pretty much anything else, unless they're going to glue themselves to an active volcano of course mind you that icelandic one did far more good for the environment than damage iirc

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

We could do with another Krakatoa (looks sideways at Yellowstone), that would sort things out for a few years :D

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Yellowstone goes off every 600,000 years and is overdue at the moment. :erm:

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

If Yellowstone blows, climate change will be a major issue, as temperatures will plummet due to the ash cloud.

Then there will be the 20,000,000 Americans in the area vapourised.

Air travel will be grounded for years, as will holidays in the sun as there won't be any, the ash cloud will see to that.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Or just another ekkkjarharthkkkaaarrtyreric would do, might have pumped oh let's make some figures up 3 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere but the months it took to get planes airborne again saved 30 million tons, not sure of the figures but they were big and basically the volcano was of net benefit by 90% in carbon release terms, that would do, no need to wipe America out or anything drastic just another ekkkj or whatever that thing was called

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

They're at it again this morning.


Why ain't they being sent to prison and fined like it said?

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

no law and order in this country.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

They are pure 100% ****, they refused to move to let an ambulance past.


Some motorists have been seen removing them, I got a 7-day ban on FB for saying keep the traffic flowing, if they get hurt tough.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

During a radio interview, this is how the "brains" behind these protests responded to a question.

Moron

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Yesterday these idiots burnt the injunction and yet again blocking and damaging the public highway.

Give them all 6 months for each office and make it consecutive, serve one then start the next etc.

Then heavily fine them.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Easier and cheaper if the police warn them about the dangers of encroaching onto a busy road and then walk away.

Just let the frustrated drivers deal with them, a good rainfall and local wildlife will clear most of the resulting mess up :D

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

If another driver runs over and kills one can i take it home as road kill meat.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I hope they get banged up, they don’t serve Waitrose Cous Cous in the scrubs.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Take 4 or 5 home, mix n match the parts, tie to a strong table and wait for a thunderstorm with great lightening bolts :D

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Imagine them in there, talk about fresh meat...

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I wouldn’t if I were you. You don’t know where it’s been.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

They've suspended blockades until the 25th.


So then expect major issues.


We should clear court dates and take them directly to court and the jail, with massive fines (£1,000 for first offence then doubled every time thereafter.)

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I think they want to be arrested to make it look bad for the Government ahead of COP26.

Making them look rather pathetic instead is probably worth it even if it's disrupting some people.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Just shows that a court injunction isn't worth the paper its printed on if there's no enforcement

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Police should drag these numbskulls to the barriers and handcuff them to the barriers and leave them to stew overnight! Presumably, they will insulate themselves!

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

These *******s are ignoring the law.

Why are they not being fined and sent to prison.

What haulage firms need to do is get together and sue IB for loss of earnings.

But sadly, this country allows yet again the minority to screw us all.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

It's like terrorism without the bombs & bullets. I'd name and shame the lot, publish addresses too so disgruntled people can go camp in their driveways :D

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

That’s like saying "having an argument with someone is like murder without the killing"… ;)

It’s protesting - I don’t agree with them, but we (at this time) have the freedom to protest.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Yes they do, but not by blocking the road network.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Too right, I'd much prefer it if they tied themselves to high speed rail tracks . . . in the French half of the channel tunnel preferably

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

I suggested something similar on Farcebook, and was given a 7-day ban.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

That figures, you probably contravened rule 318/B . . that says free speech is allowed as long as you do it quietly while sitting in the middle of the M25

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Words are violence nowadays though!

They have the right to protest, they don't have the right to block the highway which is an arrestable offence. So instead of protecting them the police should be arresting them.

Do you think if this was "Britain First" that they would be allowed to get away with what they are doing.

If you want to see white middle class privilege in action..........there it is.

That was a far better target.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Typical hypocrisy of someone whose life revolves around an activity that not only serves little purpose, but involves travelling around the world for that pointless activity.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Missed the point again. It's the target not the protestor I'm referring to.:rolleyes:

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Still requires fuels for him to travel around in order to carry out a pointless profession. Probably eats a lot of soya based food which has to be transported across the Atlantic. Low carbon footpoint, it isn't.

Even excluding fuels, we can't do with plastics. Just look around and see how they are everywhere and to a large extent can't easily(if at all) be replaced.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

That's true, oil and its derivatives do a lot more than just make fuel.

Plastics have become more of an annoyance than a necessity, I long ago got fed up fighting with the plastic wrapping on items.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Lot more to the use of plastics than wrapping. Try getting any other material into the range of shapes and lightness of plastics.

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Yes I know . . but plastic wrapping :mad:

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Maybe 'wrapping' was the wrong word for me to use . . let's try packaging instead.

example: Buy a new (wet) razor with 3 'free' blades . . you've grown a decent beard before you can get the bugger out of it's protective shell :D


. . yes yes, we know . . sorry . . Topic :p:

Re: M25 Protesters Face Prison: Injunction issued
 

Seriously? It's all about him not the oil industry?Not about Fawley Refinery owned by Esso Petroleum Co Ltd? I'm just suggesting that's a better target than gluing yourself to public roads.But of course that went way above your head.
