They can remove these people but not the ones that sit in the roads.

These people think so superior, too much bloody money

[garymcburnie]

They can remove animal protesters but not stop oil. I'm missing something

I do respect for these did for the horses I personally told them on talkSPORT five years ago to have plastic fences with the same height, because if not that horse is get poked in heart by sharp twiggs witch kills nothing done the mugs / but when you hamper horses at the start with a false start, people like me lose on their bets I’ve had 2 seconds in the last 2 nationals because of false dew to these animal rights campaigners do you make the horse more scared and have a running about together is bad for them I say that there members on the your team that don’t want the uk to profit for there own mental needs why don’t you campaign for plastic fences and don’t hamper my horse next year I’m really suffering with cash

The great unwashed wanted it to be unicorn racing that is why they are so upset.

[develynseether]

Butterfly effect. If the race had gone ahead on time there's a good chance the horse that died today as result of a fall wouldn't have. Indirectly the protesters helped kill that horse, I hope they are proud of themselves.

[yetidodger]

money comes before animals welfare apparently.

[MickeyMichaels]

They caused increased risk to the horses today. Shame on them.

[dsrai]

What are people supposed to do with the thousands of horses in the world if they stop riding them? Not too many will want to pay to keep them if they can’t use them for something. Do they just let them free to fend for themselves?

[stevemiller]

Water canons are the best tool for this job

[dickbutt]

Pure narcissism, absolutely no point in arguing or conceding to these people. For them it's less about any cause or concern and more about the feeling of power from going on some grand moral crusade.
If we gave them what they want. They won't shut up and go home, they'll just start moaning and holier-than-thouing over something else.

Now that’s nice of those officers to help that young lady who’s clearly completely paralysed on her way 🤨🤭🤣😂💖
