Mr Ghandi was once asked about British democracy. He swiftly replied: "Its a great idea!" It still is.

Why is it they can arrest them today but not when they block the road.

As they wear nylon clothing, rubber soled shoes, and have plastic cell phones and frames for their glasses. All of which have a main ingredient of OIL !!!

Since when was it a crime to protest about what you feel is wrong? Or are they just letting the public know - we are another step more toward an authoritarian police state?

Who would have thought that some day down the road, that giving up your right to bear arms would some day morph into you losing your freedom of speech?

So this is what happens to some SUBJECTS of the Realm who should be given right to protest by their King .

Who would of thought the UK would be communist. It's here 2023.

They get criticised for not arresting the oil mob, they then get criticised for arresting them. Protesting is one thing. Being an absolute belligerent belter about it is quite another. For once, I'm glad to see the police sorting these folks out.
