Eight arrested as Youth Demand try to ‘shut down’ London and block fire engine ‘on emergency call’

1. Blocking emergency services is a great way to get EVERYONE to hate you.

2. This is literally the exact opposite of throwing yourself under the kings horse

3. Whilst I don’t disagree with their stance, blocking a fire engine its the act of a cunt and they can collectively fuck right off

4. So Youth Demands said “yes well move for emergency vehicles,” followed by immediately saying, “Why have people been arrested for blocking emergency vehicles?!” And advising they will use roadblocks every day of the month in protests.

5. > in a statement, Youth Demand said eight activists had been arrested, adding: “We’ve tried the marches, petitions and rallies for over a year-and-a-half now. It hasn’t worked.

   Maybe they should try the Tibetan monk method.

6. Oh FFS, your emergency vehiclr protocol is something you plan, your Marshalls have to know where to move people, and to do it quickly. 

   Otherwise you end up looking like those pro-Brexit pricks who blocked an ambulance on Westminster bridge. 

7. If they really care about the Palestinians maybe the would be better off going over to Gaza. I’m sure they would appreciate the help. Our government can’t/won’t do anything. Their protests are futile. Anyway, in my opinion, both sides are as bad as each other. They will never find a solution to suit both sides.

8. So, another couple of days of looting on the horizon?

   I think that once they burn a couple of warehouses down and bring a new TV or a pair trainers home, their fight for social justice will be over.

9. A protest would have to cause disruption to have any meaningful effect.

    Because nobody is under any obligation to humour you or do as you demand.

    You haven’t been unjustly treated.

    You just haven’t been given a heckler’s veto.

    Simply throwing a louder tantrum and stomping your feet harder and trying to disrupt everyone’s lives until they give in to your tyrannical demands doesn’t win you sympathy and certainly shouldn’t win you results.

    Glad to see them facing jail-time. Sick of these narcissistic, spoiled little brats acting like pissing themselves in public entitles them to determine public policy.

11. Organised youth activist group in uk.. okay makes sense, plenty of issues at home. Let’s see, which one did they pick.. housing prices? Budget cuts? Energy crisis?

    They went for – ah, yes, Palestine

12. Run by the same organisation behind Just Stop Oil, called Umbrella.

    Well, there is a surprise /

13. Not going to lie if you block an emergency vehicle on purpose and someone dies you should be charged with manslaughter

14. Impressive to conjure up all that empathy for people in a country you’ve never met and none for the person on your community in need of emergency services. Almost makes you think this has nothing to do with empathy or morality at all.

15. I saw “youth demand” and thought it was a protest that mattered, for a second. A protest about the situation for many young Brits struggling – but it’s bullshit Palestine crap.

16. Well, they’ve now made themselves absolutely hated already.

17. People used to march to Jerusalem when something was happening in Palestine, now they do this shit.

18. Social media is absolute poison to some people’s minds. However awful what is happening to Palestinians is, the way that they have been utterly brainwashed to see it as the *only* issue, above all local issues and to the point where they are willing to let one of their fellow citizens die over it is terrifying.

    Bear in mind that this isn’t even the choice between letting emergency services through and saving other lives, their protest is powerless and will never save any lives. They are willing to let others die just to massage their own egos.

19. You want me to pay attention to your message about the need to do something while demonstrating you haven’t got the brains God gave to sheep?

    No.

20. I did wonder if these people were an offshoot of Just Stop Oil, and it looks like they might be based on their tactics.

21. “Morons shocked when their illegal actions carry consequences”

22. there was no fire engine. The new is just making shit up so their braindead readers will hate these guys by default

23. Fucking idiots. Palestine would reject them and hand them over to Hamas.

24. So, basically the same cunts from JSO under a new name.
