I gather there are plans to protest outside farm entrances and haulage yards of people who disrupt petrol supplies and hold up motorways.
Quite an interesting proposition.

And I can hear them crying about it already. The farmers will be shouting "Get orrff moi land" and the truckers will be thinking for a long time for something intelligent to say at all.
And they'll expect the police to help them because *they* cant get *their* products to markets. Shame. Then again, they might not bother to ask the police for anything - they'll just take matters into their own selfish hands and make a bigger mess for everyon to sort out.
Strange how when it was the bleedin'-heart, commie-pinko, woolly-"liberal", anti-car environMentalist types who were protesting outside farm entrances, haulage yards, ferry ports, food processing and distribution facilities, petrol stations and refineries, motorway construction sites and on roads in general.
Not to mention laboratories and shops and offices.
Not to mention spraying them with graffiti, vandalising them, petrol bombing them, forebombing them, nailbombing them.
Not to mention assaulting workers and owners and suppliers.
The anti-car types thought it was all just a jolly jape.
But now that the real silent majority is speaking up:
All those formerly "legitimate" activist tactics are now beyond the pale!
