I’m broadly with you, pfr - I’m all for peaceful protest, but I feel that the Insulate Britain crowd are following a self-defeating policy by going too far and, thus, alienating many people who would otherwise have supported their protest.

Having been rushed by ambulance to hospital with life-threatening conditions a number of times, I know that Mrs Backwoodsperson would have torn a few heads off if my survival had been threatened by by demonstrators delaying the ambulance’s progress to the hospital.
