          Thing is that pretty much every big public event does that. I don’t see the same fury over football matches or marathons, which tells me that the objection is the message, not the action.

            Well there are not taking a moral stance on bettering thw world do they? They just qant to see football at that’s it… see the difference?

            Even so that fails to excuse the implication of stopping an ambulance…

            You don’t see the difference between scheduled events causing traffic and random people deciding to shut traffic down at their whim? Sounds like a you problem.

      Yeah I listened to an interview with Roger Hallam on Radio 4 with Nick Robinson and he sounded completely nuts. It was eerily similar to the Charles Manson type cult fearmongering about an impending societal collapse. In particular he seems fixated on the idea of mass sexual violence somehow being caused by climate change?

      These people have a messiah complex and their basic instincts are anti-democratic. If their solutions to the climate crisis were politically appealing then people would vote for them; they can’t compete in the market place of ideas and so they’ve taken to being a nuissance.
