Whether I agree with their protests here or not, there is a specific exemption to the walking on motorways law for protest purposes; and I find it concerning that a court has just granted a whole 12 month ban on protesting on a whopping 120 miles of road. This is the sort of stuff the Tories are creaming over and it’s a dangerous prescedent to be setting. One of the largest areas ever covered by an injunction preventing protest, and for a whole year. Not a good sign.
This is after an interim I junction against accessing land (for any purpose) along the HS2 route.
And after Shell got an injunction against protesting at any of its forecourts or even the Shell offices back in April.
“repeating the same actions over and over again and expecting a different result each time is a sign of madness” said JSO yesterday.
Couldn’t agree more.
They want to go to prison, they’ve said that over and over again, so this won’t stop them.

They just need to self identify as lorry drivers and do a go-slow protest. Job done
>It means that anyone entering, remaining upon or affixing themselves to any object or to any structure on the M25 could have proceedings launched against them for contempt of court.
Good luck driving on it without remaining in your car, which will be on it, and is an object.
A slap on the wrist and a sternly written note it is then.
As annoying and useless as this lot are. Its not like the m25 was moving anyway
We’re going to miss the 1.5degC target by some way, and people are pissed off that their commute is delayed by half an hour. I can’t wait to see how incandescent they are when they realise they have to deal with a world over 2.5degC hotter.

Good. This will mean the motorway is free to be obstructed by [all the drivers on it](https://twitter.com/search?q=(%23m25)%20(from%3Auktrafficdelays)&src=typed_query&f=live) [on it instead.](https://www.google.com/search?q=m25+delays&rlz=1C1GCEA_enGB1033GB1033&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi04O3149L7AhXag1wKHXdVBrIQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1920&bih=969&dpr=1)
