What is hacking you off today?
I was keen on someone’s idea of suspending a giant trapeze net underneath them, then reopening the road completely.

I had a similar one with eBay a few years ago. Without warning (and after many years of using them without issue) they decided my (100%) rating wasn't high enough because I was only a periodic user and they would have to start withholding my money until my buyers had marked the item as received, which most never bothered.
I had a right go at them and pointed out the only reason they were doing that was to keep my money in their account for as long as possible to make as much on the interest as they could. I then threatened them with trading standards. The next day they released all payments and said it wouldn't happen again.

Agreed, it’s still ****ing odd behaviour that will lead to their inevitable arrests* but at least it doesn’t severely impact local infrastructure, bank balances or peoples day-to-day living.

This is getting crazy. Holding up businesses and people that have to be somewhere for their own reasons. Protests like these have never worked. It's a form of blackmailing the government to get what they want. But it becomes a few hundred protesters v the government and the public that turns against them. The only time it worked was the poll tax riots. But in that case it was the public v the government. The worry is now for anyone that has to be somewhere in the future weeks or months. Like a hospital appointment, funeral, airport, etc, etc. Also, this is very bad timing for some businesses that are struggling to survive, and are having their goods to or from, held up in these long queues for hours on end. The stories are starting to come through now of this finishing off some small businesses. Don't they realise that the government can't give in even if they believed in their cause, because it would bring every small protesting group out of the woodwork trying the same tactics.
Do those complaining about disruption caused by protests not mind the greater disruption caused by the thing the protesters were complaining about? The QEII bridge has been shut way more times by high winds.

It is possible that they are not mutually exclusive to many people.
Indeed.

High winds normally shut the bridge for a few hours, not a couple of days. With the high winds expected there is normally an advanced warning that it could be shut, so people can plan a different route. With these protestors, you have no warning where or when they will turn up.
They’re complaining about things that everyday working class people cannot focus on, because they’re too preoccupied with issues that are affecting them in the present. I.e. facing eviction for missing a few days wages.
Why don’t they carry out these disruptions in and around Downing Street or The Palace of Westminster?
