    I don’t understand who would be dense enough to expect any other outcome here.

    We’re talking about survival of the species long term, some of us absolutely are not afraid of “jail” or “juries” other than for it slowing their ability to foster change.

    What a moronic headline?! UK is not Europe, and environmental protests are not criminalized in any other European country AFAIK.
    Also there are rules for protests, if you break those, you may be arrested. Disregarding what the protest is about.

    Edit:
    To those that downvote, it’s the same as writing Asia is making something illegal, but it’s really only Thailand.
    Please explain how that’s not moronic?

    PS: There are rules to prevent protests to turn violent, because violent protests are NOT democratic:

      If you think any protest anywhere ever is about following rules then you have completely missed the point of protest
