Well thats speculation, what isn't it the man who was taking his Mum to A and E as she was unwell, and she had a stroke in the car, 6 hours it took to get her to hospital, and the consultant said if he had got there sooner they could have limited the effects of the stroke

It means it's an easy stick to beat these protestors with, the shock headlines splattered all over the front pages..
when the ambulance service in it's current state causes deaths by taking hours to get to calls should be the thing splattered all over the front pages |

Honestly the disruption to normal people's lives really isn't excusable. By all means protest against the government, disrupt the lives (and pockets) of the people who actually have some sway on the climate change issue ... but I don't think any REAL thought has been put into the effects of these road blocking actions. They consider it a disruption to systems and a minor inconvenience to people rather than acknowledging the massive consequences it could have. Healthcare staff unable to get to work. Sick people unable to get to appointments (Something like a cancer diagnosis? Could take months to reschedule. Could be too late by that point). Ambulances stuck in the backlog. People with disabilities caught in the queue for hours actually causing them potential physical damage. Of course the stock response to this is "acceptable collateral damage because this is such an important issue" but when you have that sort of disregard for vulnerable members of the public, you actively turn people AGAINST the cause, it doesn't gain the support so desperately needed. You're more likely to turn someone from "vaguely sympathetic" to "**** those guys I don't want anything to do with them" than anything else. Completely counter-productive. |

BBC Text
[Star has little sympathy for an Extinction Rebellion protester who has asked the public to pay his rent while he serves time in prison. "What a joker!" the paper says.] |

They have switched their attentions to court rooms and court buildings. They are now glueing themselves to the steps and entrances to said buildings.
