It’s all well and good throwing out sound bites, “whataboutery”, this is just a cop out to the fact these people are politically aligned with you and you cannot defend them (as Paul stated above).
Mick it is you that is "copping out" of criticising Fox and GB News - solely on the basis of their political leanings.

Do you believe in a democratic society individuals should attack state apparatus (which enforcement equipment absolutely is) for policies they disagree with. Yes or no?

I'm under no obligation to either criticise or defend Packham for a broadcast I haven't seen and comments I haven't read. Forgive me for thinking they are likely more complex and nuanced than you present. Equally, it's a perfectly legitimate position to hold that state apparatus is a legitimate target, but Fox crying about ULEZ doesn't make the cut in my personal morality barometer.
