Is that lunatic seriously comparing her little protest to Suffrage, Gandhi, and the abolition of slavery?

Well, climate change is serious enough dont you think?
It certainly wont be combated by doing nothing and criticising everything

Sure. But the better way to do that would be to suggest -or even better, pioneer- viable alternatives and strategies. Do they think the government is gonna push the button labelled "make everything better" once a certain number of roads have been blocked?

It's about showing people wont let them compromise on the urgency for action

And in this case is about raising awareness among business leaders

It all leads to developing critical mass for the movement and also making a nuisance of themselves so that everybody understands the protest wont go away.
Very much like the other causes she compared it to did. Those activists were also called lunatics in their time.

It is very serious.
Many things have had to have more prominent and intrusive action taken to right wrongs.
Or to win just causes.

Some seem to want to remove from anyone,(who is not on a right wing agenda), the right to protest.

They really are unbelievable.
I'm actually sickened people on here are dressing up what this man did.

Probably just because he's a Conservative MP.

Because had this been a Labour MP.
Their statements would be likely a whole turnaround.

I would be saying all I've said no matter what Party this man was from.
He was out of order 100% and he initiated and committed an assault.
On someone who made no move to him or even attempted to harm him by fighting back either.

To read of people putting her down for her cause rather than condemning an unprovoked assault.
Fills me with despair for the UK.

Is that the gutter level we've sunk to.
Disgraceful.

Good job on completely missing the point to focus on one tiny bit to try to discredit her.
