Lothian and Borders Police also said that protesters appeared to have spread an oil-like substance over roads on the outskirts of Edinburgh.

Police surround the headquarters of the Royal Bank of Scotland A spokeswoman said the oil, possibly diesel or vegetable oil, had been spilled onto the A720 at Bankhead and the westbound lane of the A8.

Speechless.

We need to do something about these tts. A new law that says they can only protest if they can stand in front of a JCB and get it stop by will power only. Or maybe we can let them shout at it. Yeah shouting seems fair as it gives them an edge.

What I generally don't understand is that passive-aggressive nature of some of these protesters. They're very good at shouting that 'something needs to be done' but how many of them are actively funding and/or conducting research into alternatives?

As for greasing the highway, isn't that conspiracy to murder?

Idiots. Why don't they do the decent thing for the environment and stop thieving oxygen from the rest of us

Water soluable, washes away with minimal effort. No-one seemed clear what it was, and were saying oil. Molasses a lot easier to deal with than oil or tar.

I guess it's hard to fund things when you're unemployable.

It is still disruptive. It still causes congestion, which in turn causes additional consumption of our resources and pollution into the environment. It is still a bunch of fascists for hire getting away with what shouldn't be tolerated just because they hide behind a (currently) politically correct cause.

Everyone says Britain should export more. Let's begin with these selfish tts.

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with their methods, all these tree-huggers should be sent off to the Faulklands or somewhere to make gravel or the like. I was just clearing up what it was they used.

Yeah, but how long before it's all away?

It's still a hazard, and mixed with water, I wager it's just as dangerous as oil.

Next time they should just scatter some grot mags around the road.

Preferably 1980s-era copies of Razzle, Escort and Whitehouse but I'm not that fussy.

Actually I think that is a valid point. Freedom of speech an opinion is one thing, but when it causes havoc and potential terror to the masses it is terrorism of a form.
