Whatever one thinks of the cause and respective protests, these are some fucking bonkers sentences handed down today. 4/5 years! Crazy. 

When people were left out of pocket for missing flights etc then not really, hopefully be a deterrent to the other trust fund children wanting to do the same and thinking there is no consequences

Is government flavoured boot particularly tasty?

Just another authoritarian step towards crushing public disapproval.

Or just stopping nutters and potential nutters disrupting peoples lives. Nothing but a bunch of soap dodgers...

You're not looking at the larger picture, and clapping like a well trained seal.

This is an attack on the people's right to protest, which lets face it, is the only real way to hold the power to account these days (in a non-violent way).

No it isnt ... peaceful protest is one thing, trying to shut down the M25 for days and inconveniencing tens of thousands of unconnected people is trying to impose anarchy.

It needs stopping pure and simple and if these deterrent sentences do the job crack on.

Hardly just a jolly jape was it?
 

“Southwark Crown Court had heard that each of the defendants had recruited activists over a Zoom call to take part in the motorway demonstration, which the prosecution said had caused economic damage of nearly £750,000 and cost the police £1 million.”

Not to mention the unnecessary use of police resources, possible endangerment of life, and hurt and upset to those just wanting to get on with their daily business.

I think they got off quite lightly.

But no doubt there will be an appeal and it would be no surprise if that is successful.
