Ha! What a bunch of divs. (n/t) on 09:04 - May 27 by DJR
I woke up early this morning and listened to LBC which was holding a phone-in about Just Stop Oil etc.
The callers were to a man/woman hostile to the type of action taking place, so it is not clear to me that the action is winning hearts and minds.
And there is a danger that the whole debate focuses on the disruption they are causing, not the cause they are doing it for.

And that is LBC which has a relatively sensible audience.
TalkSport, TalkRadio and TalkTv contributors wouldn't have been even that reserved.
They are not winning hearts and minds and they come across as a load of spoilt brats.
Also - most other demo types doing the slow walk day in and day out would not be treated so leniently by the old bill - they are in effect obstructing the highway.
