    Delap was among several dozen Just Stop Oil supporters who, during a four-day campaign, climbed gantries over the M25, which encircles London, forcing police to stop traffic and leaving an estimated 709,000 drivers stuck in tailbacks.

    Forgive me for having zero sympathy for this clown.

      “how dare a protest inconvenience anyone, to draw attention to a problem?”

        You’re right. Before this protest I’d never even heard of climate change.

        I don’t think anyone had.

            And annoying regular people by stopping them getting to work is not going to make them more sympathetic.

            Quite the opposite.

              And uet its worked many times on the past, it’s the entire reaon for non violent protest. Ghandi, Malcom.X, Henry David Thoreau etc etc.

                  And air, livable temperatures, clean water, clean food. It’s not an easy choice but this lady saw the big picture, beyond the immediate. I don’t know your situation. I do know ours, globally
