All I’m hearing, in protest against this bill is self-serving demands that those who think they’ve found a means of holding society to ransom in pursuit of their political goals, should be allowed to carry on, and the rest of us should just let them get on with it, or, worse, abandon our own convictions and give in to their blackmail.
Well I’m sorry but no. If people want to bring the M25 to a halt, cause millions in lost business and prevent tens of thousands of people from going about their business, then I’m more than happy for them to spend a few weeks in jail in recompense. If nothing else, it will weed out the dilettantes who think this lunacy is an attractive way of virtue signalling to their mates.
(Edit) And references to Russia, Iran and Egypt are simply more contemptible left-wing dog whistling, and nonsensical to anyone who is actually familiar with what human rights abuses in those countries actually look like.

A prime example of self centred right wing rationalising to justify erosion of our civil liberties and a classic use of the "lunatics holding society to ransom" trope to justify draconian changes in the law. You seem to be content to let this Government take away our freedoms but I am not.

Don't be patronising, I am making a serious point here.
