It's only a matter of time when vigilantes will do the job for them.

I agree completely. But do you remember when a woman barely nudged one of them with her car and she ended up in court. She hardly touched her as well!

@@orthodoxblue7252 - The police only target innocent people. I think they’re scared of dealing with real criminals.

Lets call russia they know how to deal with it

i love how you call some *police* "pathetic" in your little humble abode i understand that the police literally suck a lot but at least they're the ones dealing with foolishness like this

tea and crumpets ?

they only had tea

You forgot the chocolate biscuit, how terribly un English of you my dear.. 😁

I think a scone and clotted cream are offered in the West Country maybe a pasty to start 😂😮😮😮

Ah, that will come later with the biscuits.

That was the fullest extent of the law

They are illegally occupying public space!!!!! Shud be prosecuted!

Prison time

Otherwise it's not the fine English way. Joke aside, I fully agree! There's an ambulance in a hurry and the polices are too fine for removing the protesters off the road... And everyone and me are complaining, what you may or may not do, when it comes down to this... Our german polices are carrying away the protesters kindly at least

Seriously, some arse-kicking was in order. Don't tell me there have been no deaths, direct or indirect, from having these assclowns delaying a vehicle needing to get somewhere in a timely manner?

Archie Bunker: "England is a f%g country."

Then get people who will not bow to this foolishness to run for office and Make Britain Great Again.

Yet they were aggressive on at George's day because they had England flags

Wanna see those cops take action? Just insult those protesters. I bet if you were to say things that hurt their feelings, those cops would move to arrest you REAL fast.

The head of police needs to get a back bone and do his job.

Its embarrassing, they should be ashamed.

No kidding , the question i always have when i see this is if someone dies in the back of an ambulance or at home waiting for an ambulance , or someones house burns down for the same reason who is liable ..

​@@waynesbutler7834The Police maybe.

Exactly that's not a question. It needs to be a statement.

Always said try doing this in an industrial or port area in the US. Or even in a low income neighborhood. Or in front of a school during drop-off or pick-up. It won't be pretty. I imagine all those mama and papa bears trying to drop off the kids and rush to get to work. Have these protestors block the route. Ah lawd!

In Florida the ambulance would have run them over to get to the hospital and every criminal hit would be charged with obstructing emergency services.

He said "it's your choice if you want to move or not" absolutely pathetic! I thought hindering an emergency service was an arrestable offence on its own

When you say scum, do you mean people who can be bothered to spend a few minutes learning a bit about the most urgent crisis on earth? Obviously you think climate change is not a big deal, but my question is How much time have you spent learning about the climate crisis? Or are you just regurgitating the perspective of fossil fuel funded media and your equally ignorant friends?

Evil bastards

The sad truth is, the only ways to stop oil is to either use it all, or to accelerate climate change enough, until a worldwide disaster happens, great enough that it affects everybody's basic needs to a degree, where survival becomes urgent enough, to where our leaders have to do something about it... sad but realistic truth.

A world that needs cleaning!

It’s because you’ve always supported the police is how we have reached these levels.They are not fit for purpose.

That's called Stockholm syndrome

Research who's funding just stop oil that's why the police do nothing.

Your unconditional support for them is why they have turned out this way. They've been useless for decades now.

get the fire brigade and hose them

The politicians should be charged for doing nothing and causing this in the first place.

Base ball bats. That's what is needed.

I agree, but they’d end up in court if they did anything more. I’m not even British, but I despise Just Stop Oil.

London polices are the best !! ha ha ... people are so peaceful ..so friendly ..!!

@@Broski1318 Yet these stop oil protesters are all using many products in this protest that came from oil. Without fossil fuels they would have been naked with no signs etc to hold up or tubes to insert their arms into. Just shows the hypocrisy and the ignorance of these protesters. As for the police the less said the better as they are nought but a joke.

Would you like to see those cops take action? Just insult those protesters. I bet if you were to say things that hurt their feelings, those cops would move to arrest you REALLY fast.

The protesters are doing the government’s work, the police aren’t allowed to arrest them even if they did the judge would let them off.

@@thepuddlejumper500 That is quite obvious . The cops must feel embarrassed as the road masters over ruled them .

because there boses the government told them so it’s demonstration on there two tier policeing

You do not negotiate with two year olds or terrorists.

This is when the wusses at the higher up give into protest by psychos & bad journalism; the so called "vulnerable people"

part of the plan. it's called an escort. they get paid for it

Love your comment, I nearly died once and needed an ambulance 3 and a half years ago, and my mum got very sick last year. If it wasn't for the quick and kind attention from the ambulance and doctors, we wouldn't be here today and these rude protestors won't move for emergency vehicles!! What the hell!!😇😀

Again, people would want their heads for moving these buffoons we call protestors.

The reason we're being over-run by migrants, Albanian and other foreign criminals.

The cops too. This isn't acceeptable. They are being paid by the tax payer to keep law and order.

Those who do not allow the police to take decisive action against such a dirty herd who risk lives with their thoughtless actions must be held accountable. For me, this is considered terrorism, not protest.

Put to sleep like wild dogs!!

They’re a waste of time

@@johnou.k.3780 No...they are the enemy!!!

Police are all gob instead of doing there jobs and moving theses morons

Until we get to vote for police chiefs like in the US, this woke nonsense will continue!...

They are thinking, why did our bosses tell us to go easy on climate change protesters and come down hard on anti lock-down protesters. Ah well, I'll just do what I'm told as I don't understand geo-politics.

What specific charge would you be arresting them under?

The police have become political my friend and they support this agenda.

@@GeorgeThoughts You arrest them for wilful obstruction of the highway. Whether they are then charged for that offence is down to the police/CPS

They are worried about their actions because of all the WOKE lawyers and rule makers in this country who call them out for doing their job!

This is why you were disgracefully forced to retire, with that attitude, your not a sheepdog, your a sheep with a wolf badge from the government 😉 go figure

Its what happens when you have gun laws. CriMinals KNOW the police can't do anything until the British SWAT show up.

Because they will lose their jobs.

@@bobleeroy5367 they would lose their jobs for upholding the law? 😂

@@aquanick2001 because their higher ups value public opinion more than the law. See how tenderly they pick them up? Personally I would have grabbed them by their gray hair like a public nursing home and zip tied them to the nearest lamp post.

@@aquanick2001 We live in woke 2022 so yes, most likely

Because it's government policy.

king charles caught up in this.... wanting to get home for his lunch.... they'd arrest them sharpish....

Cause the police are paid criminals aswell. Obviously. They pick and choose what they do. You can protest anything you want in anyway you like, but if you're seen with a george cross or union jack you're the devil and should be in prison. 😂😂😂

That's not a highway

​​@@deplorible753t's a road dumbass and they are infringing on people's right to travel..... highway also means anywhere cars travel...I guess you're one of the morons blocking traffic which by the way burns more fossil fuels....

@@deplorible753 ‘highway’ refers to ‘The Public Highway’ - this will be in the pre-amble to the act - which means all publicly owned roads including footpaths whether metalled, paved, or earthworks.

And there you go…

@@deplorible753 Highway means public road …

Exactly the same thing happened to me, fortunately I had the "Stig" behind the wheel. Heaven help anyone who got in his way. PS. The NHS are fantastic.

I agree with you. I suffered a time critical illness recently that I only survived due to the speed I was taken to hospital and straight into theatre. I find it enfuriating that the police are reasoning with these selfish idiots instead of arresting them?? Also, if that patient died as a result of their actions, they should be charged with manslaughter.

I always say that I wouldn’t pi#s on someone if they were on fire. But in an instance like this I’d whap it out and give the lot of them a golden shower!!

I was in the same situation, a heart attack, close to death, blue lights to the hospital with the emergency theatre team waiting to rush me in and save my life. Had my ambulance been blocked for maybe even 5 minutes, I may very well have died. The stupid selfish protesters are going to be responsible for causing deaths, WILL THEY BE PROSECUTED FOR MURDER???

They actually need immediately to be arrested as soon as they show up, Ambulance or no Ambulance.

They are committing an offence under the road traffic act. Interfering with the highway.

Reminder: while we really should move away from fossil fuel dependency and petroleum based materials, almost all these kinds of “activisms” are funded by petroleum corporations specifically to put these kinds of movements in negative light. Also many of them russian.

I mean it technically is a protest but yeh it's annoying

It's a peaceful protest... and possibly a peaceful murder.

Ah being stuck in a traffic jam is ok 👍?

it would be good to see cops doing the job they get paid for, which is to arrest law breakers.

Nice idea, but these days it’s so woke it’s unreal. I remember watching the police dance with extinction rebellion protesters instead of moving them on. This country is a farce!

these ppl should be put in jail for blocking an ambulance and im not even kidding. Literally why isnt anyone suing them?

Is that the one that was appealed and then quashed? It's a bit like the "red light argument". If you go through a red light for emergency services and trigger a red light camera, legally you have no defence. The law does not state you must contravene a red light to make way for an emergency vehicle, in fact it states the opposite and advises to remain where you are, and to move out of the way if you can without crossing the red light. Why? Because if you run the red light to make way for said emergency vehicle, you could then either cause or be involved in a collision, and of course you'd then try to blame the emergency service for wanting you to go through a red light. The only exception is a UNIFORMED police officer who directs you through the light, this is quite uncommon and they will check that there is room for you to go through the light and stop safely somewhere before they do so, otherwise they won't. Why is it only police that can direct you through a light? Because only police have absolute authority and control over the roads. Police close roads when necessary, Ambulance and Fire service don't.

When these protesters block the roads they should be arrested regardless of whether there is an ambulance trying to get through or not.

@@johnmusgrave3179 Correct. Democracy gives them the right to peacefully protest, nothing more, nothing less. There is NO right to block traffic, pedestrians, emergency vehicles etc implied in the right to protest. The fact that policeman left the decision to the protesters whether they allowed the emergency vehicle through shows police etc are now in cahoots with these protesters. Under the LAW he had a duty to remove those protesters for being an obstacle for the emergency vehicle. He has an obligation/duty to ensure that vehicle has safe passage. He failed to exercise that obligation/duty, instead he facilitated an unlawful protest thereby showing cause for his removal as a police officer. It is time law and order was restored. The police force must NOT be the defence force/body guards for illegal protesters.

@@saintsone7877 I hope it does not happen but, in the event of the person ill in the ambulance should he or she die, i would like to think that the police officer in charge would be charged with murder.

unfortunately the police now behave this way in most of europe, australia/NZ, USA and Canada - where this wouldn't be allowed to happen would be the middle east, russia, china, N korea

@@edombre4637 and southeast Asia

Even worse in Sweden. Happens every day around Stockholm in summertime. I missed a important appointment in July 2021 because of morons like these.

we are heading down the road to destruction, im not here much longer terminal cancer but if I lived in London now id love to meet these people 1 last time

are you actually 78???

They have no shame; they are so selfish. They claim they are doing this for the world, for their families for the good of mankind. They have no character and no morals. Anyone that would lay in the street and block an ambulance trying to get the hospital has no place in society.

No they parked in front of the other traffic to let the ambulance come through.

Too true. They were able to keep the road clear for Prince Harry arriving at court.

good point - so wish this and other such points would be taken up on a breakfast time tv show, asking for a Chief Police Officer to answer

Great point and if there is a fatality in the back of an ambulance or at home waiting for one under these circumstances who is liable ,

​@@waynesbutler7834probably the police

They have been given the right to move them but the police farce are that useless and woke they refuse to do it.

They shouldn't be allowed to block roads ANYWHERE. It can and has affected anyone - health appts, getting to their job, getting to a funeral, a hospital or a wedding, fire engines not getting through. There could have already been some dire consequences of these idiot's actions, such as deaths that we don't hear about. Our own rights and freedom's should stop when they start to infringe on other people's rights and freedoms.

British police = joke

I appreciate you moving ..Thank You very much !!

Back in the 1980s Police officers would be beating the protesters with their truncheon for blocking an ambulance.

Or the poor person in the back trying to get to the hospital , I think there was someone in it already,life and death minutes wasted ...

He is not capable of doing his job. Whatever his rank is, it's too high for his competence.

Absolutely, this defies logic. If what they are doing isn't lawful then uphold the bloody law and deal with them. I can't believe how weak our country has become.

Agreed. Read them a latterday version of the Riot Act (sadly repealed) "I am giving you a lawful command to clear the roadway - you have 30 seconds to comply" if there's no immediate reaction then the truncheons and pepper spray come out. Simply but effective.

Put them in a room with the bereaved families - they will get their just deserts!

Yes arrest them and have a $ penalty and community service!!!

Yeah. At least here across the pond, the United States gives their officers service weapons, like guns.

Its entirely up to them. There is plenty of other jobs.

@@AchimEngels Sorry, elaborate please.

British Police and British NHS are the pride of our nation, but both need backing - financial, legal (in the case of Police), manpower and public respect.

Cell space and paper work, gor every arrest an officer has to fill in 40 different forms. Imagine that pile of paperwork multiples each time, they'd never leave the station at all.

They don't stop them or arrest them because just stop oil are working for the government so the normal people agree to more protest laws as we get so pissed off with the protesters we just want them to stop

I'm sure they have orders not to arrest any protestors. It's the environmentalists who are in control now not the police.

Definitely as soon as the protesters show up, no leniency!!!

Yes an expensive irrelevance.

Then who would arrest you for misgendering some blue haired nutter?

No they blocked the traffic to let the ambulance come through.

Sorry, what? A JUDGE gave them the ok to block ambulances????

get paid truck loads for easy double time

the police are a joke because this isn’t against any agenda that’s why

They must miss lockdown when they could patrol parks and arrest senior citizens for the crime of minding their own business. Useless bunch . Bring back Dixon of Dockgreen..😅😅😊
