Actually the Dartford Crossing comprises of two tunnels and one bridge. The tunnels take the traffic northwards, and the bridge southwards.

They often close the bridge - windy days, maintenance work, whatever. The tunnels then take traffic both ways.

The real reason that they got the long sentence was the supposed defiance of a court order. The court order stated that they must not protest on the M25 motorway or obstruct it as before. Accordingly they moved to the bridge which is not part of the motorway. Neither did they obstruct the bridge - a decision was taken to close it. Ambulances and other emergency vehicles do not routinely use the bridge since it spans two different counties. The usual system then prevailed, the traffic used the tunnels.

The rights to freedom of expression and the right to protest under articles 10 and 11 of international law which is cemented into UK law through the Human Rights Act.

If you then say that they did not have the right to protest, then equally you have no right to free speech.

Lots of people used to wonder how it was that the Holocaust happened.

Now we have people cheering on the Gaza genocide and calling for savage sentences against those who try to draw public attention to it, in the face of a silent media, it is pretty clear how the Holocaust happened.

Thankfully, in this country, the proportion of ârseholes to non-ârseholes is not high enough for it to happen here but we have to keep drawing attention to it because it could.

You and your facts. You'll be expecting him to think for himself next.

I believe him to be a transgenic mouse, which is how he can afford to fund his lifestyle. Obviously that's a considerable upgrade, so I live in hope.

Not much of a life, though, is it, if hours of his day are spent shîtposting on a tiny cycling forum with maybe 10 active members, in the vain hope that it'll annoy someone.

The irony of the post

 

[multitool]

There is no irony. Most of the time, in fact almost all of the time, I ignore you.

Likewise. It's a real shame 'cos there is such potential for interesting discussion then moment it starts ... swamped with mindless Twitter videos and no interest in fact.

I guess such is life for a Trumpton but it does spoil it for everyone else but then maybe that's what it's seeking.

Trying to see "glass half full" it's an education about the alternative reality Trumpties live in. No way it's possible to solve issues if the solutions are based on garbage fact about the issue. But it ploughs on regardless listening to nobody in shout only mode. Mindless.

But he can change minds and behaviour, he changed mine:
I was someone who never used the ignore feature - now I do.

I feel like I have fallen through a gap in time/space, I am back in the 1980s, bicycles are about to be recommended. Unfortunately, I am not 45-50 years younger. 😊

Starmer's moral compass points the same way as the Tories'.

And now all that Farage needs to do is to call that out, make a load of false promises about being the friend of disabled people.

And it will be the fault of the left when they loose the next election.

Except that neither Starmer or the Labour Party under him are on the left. Their whole schtick is that Starmer is not Corbyn.
