I think they did lose a lot of public support though, mostly men because they were trying to drive through the city, because of that stunt. Which is heart-breaking because they deserve everything they are campaigning for. |
I wan't aware of that. But on the issue of the London Bridge stunt, it's worth recording that he was acquitted by a jury of causing a nuisance, and the police notes of the incident made clear that their decision to close roads was based on building a case against the protestor, rather than public safety. Disgraceful behaviour by the police, IMO.
