Great start, now let’s see them get charged and punished.
Oh, sure, those idiots do their stupid protests and they get arrested asap but if you need the police? They are too busy to do so.
> Police have arrested more than 60 climate activists taking part in a slow march outside parliament in the first use of draconian new anti-protest powers.
These protestors are arrested for protesting on a highway. We are sliding into a Tory authoritarian state, and I feel like Labour isn’t going to be much different.
I thought the police couldn’t do anything due to cuts.
I thought prisons were too full? Or does that only apply to regular crime, not protest
I wonder how many volunteers they have? 60 today, 60 tomorrow, and maybe for a few days after, I recall reading there were about 500 vacant cells, is this the new form of protest?
Trying to save our planet/nature get arrested.. chanting for Islamic jihad at anti Israel demo,nothing. What a f#cked up place we live in.
But people saying that Israel shouldn’t exist (and all the connotations that has) are absolutely fine. No need to arrest them even if they tear down Pride flags or use images from the Hamas attack. At best just arrest them quietly afterwards. But these climate people – what scum! Arrest them immediately!
What a joke
Wait till they know that you can’t make solar panels or wind turbines without petrochemicals.
Surely it would be more appropriate to call them attention seekers at this point.
They can arrest them but can’t go after thieves. I see.
They are arresting the wrong protesters at the wrong protest.
Whether we like it or not, the law as enforceable by police is now as follows:
>Serious disruption to the life of the community’ now includes any protest that may, “by way of physical obstruction”:
>prevent, or hinder in a way that is more than minor, day-to-day activities (including journeys);
>prevent, or delay in a way that is more than minor, delivery of a time-sensitive product; or
>prevent, or disrupt in a way that is more than minor, access to essential goods/services.
They’re free to determine what “more than minor” means, so essentially can arrest you for rubbing someone up the wrong way.
Have fun debating how a group of people trying to stop the planet being completely fucked up deserve 6 months in prison because of your minor inconveniences.

Guessing they didn’t get a permit, or whatever, and thought it ok to randomly block a road. Not got high hopes of this disorganised bunch of munchkins saving the world.
Should have called to ethnically cleanse Jews. Would have been left alone.
Sorry, why are people moaning about this? You’ve been calling for the old bill to step up for months and now they do you moan?!
Get fucked you absolute cretins!
Excellent news. Well done police, glad to see they’re able to put a swift end to this bullshit.
Prisons are full move em out and put the tories in.
