Can’t be that hard to just shift them?
Or avoid them.I wish them well if they are blocking Westminster Bridge at the Westminster end, the armed anti-terrorist police will be getting itchy fingers.
Ps. Sorry when I say wish them well I meant the armed anti-terrorist police not these fools.
I've just been snagged in this. Coming in from the SW, all fine until I got to the approach to Waterloo Bridge. As usual there's no signage but gridlock around the IMAX roundabout usually means that the underpass is closed. But no, the bridge was closed. So I turned around and headed for Southwark, expecting Blackfriars to be rammed as the natural overspill (I think Westminster is closed from the south side anyway at the moment), then found that was closed. Eventually got across Tower Bridge and had to head to London Wall then loop back a bit to get to where I want to go.

All the while 'normal' people get on with their lives: ie it's the weekend, when the majority of people and families who have been working hard all week go out to do their shopping etc - I just got back from town and it was packed with people doing exactly this for the simple reason it's the only time they have to do it, their lives are full, while these dicks don't have lives as we know it. I watched a bit on Sky just now and one young woman said she was doing it for here 4 yr old son's future, no sign of her son. 'Where's mummy?' More to the point, where's daddy.

What's left to do but to break the law? (so, penny drops, nothing but a bloody anarchist!)
Because within that spirit you are saying enough is enough."
If you are I were to 'block' Westminster Bridge I bet it wouldn't be for long, eh?

Seems she has form, plenty of it!

I'd say a protest that involves bringing London to grid lock is beyond pointless.... sort of reminds me of that moment in Austin Powers... you know the "1 million pounds!! whoo ha ha haaaa"
"I have an idea.....we will block the bridges and bring London to a stand still!!! whoo ha ha ha haaaa!!!"

saw one of them on Sky news going on about we have had our central heating on for 50 years, because of climate change we don't need that anymore. She even said the canadians don't need it because of climate change.
Tell that to all the pensioners who die because they try and save money by not having the heating on.
She clearly hasn't spent any time in -30 degrees Canadian winters.
What a berk.

The best way to miminise your impact on the environment is not to exist, we should persuade these wkstains to commit mass suicide to reduce the burden on mother earth.
Instead of glueing their hands to doors they could glue their hands to their ears before jumping off a tall building with a loose cheesewire noose round their necks, providing entertainment whilst reducing their future carbon footprint to absolute zero.

I wonder if she realises that Canadians also have lots of home air conditioning systems running in the summer months that we don't really do over here?Tell that to all the pensioners who die because they try and save money by not having the heating on.

I don't think she realises anything. The daft cow had her carbon footprint generating kid stood next to her too.
