I'm not talking about the not my king thing I don't care about that and think they should be able to protest as long as they are not blocking roadways used by the public but the just stop oil protests that have occured on essential roadways that have stopped people from getting to where they need to go are the problem
Dude inconvenienced isn't really a right way of putting it if someone is on probation and they need to get to work to not get sent back to jail and they can't make it to work they will be put back in jail, or if someone they know is dying in the hospital and they are unable to see them before they die that's fucking awful
Regular people don’t drive through central London to get to work or go to the hospital
I'm not talking about London specifically but other similar protests that have occured on essential road ways like what has happened in the us
