Covid anti-lockdown protest

[Simon G]

Not condoning these protests one bit.
but locking up people for protesting is a dangerous precedent.

no... there's lawful protest and unlawful stupidity .... like those extinction rebellion idiots jumping all over trains back in 2019, you can't just say 'it's a protest' and do whatever you want.

They’re not protesting - they’re engaging in denialism. They believe the virus is a hoax and vaccines contain microchips. That’s not a protest, it’s just a public display of scientific ignorance that places lives at risk.

Particularly when this country prides itself on the principle of freedom of speech.
That is why we have "speakers corner" in London for a hundred years, or more.
We also put diplomatic pressure on countries that are dictatorships.

I'll say it again - these people need locking up in the same way we locked up people during the war - for the sake of the lives of the public.

They aren't "demonstrating", this isn't freedom of speech, they're posing a clear and present danger to hospital staff, patients, and the public at large.

6 months for anyone caught attending one imo

these are special circumstances with a national lockdown in place - straight to jail from the time of being detained

pretty much for their own safety.

Safety of their own lives is obviously not high on their agenda. That or the fact they are the type of people that simply disregard any rules imposed on them.
Lock them up to protect the lives of other innocent people.

Fuck jail - lion pit and national television.

Oh...It’s just struck me I wouldn’t be the benevolent dictator I thought I’d be. Wow, self awareness. This must be what it’s like to hit maturity.

Hang on, I’ll just check something.

Wank tit fart knob cock.

Phew, those words are still funny. For one minute I thought maturity might be about to ruin my life.

May I suggest adding putting the f***yards in stocks as well so we can throw rotten fruit and veg at them.
Charge say £5 a bag and the government will soon make money back

Except of course that you are not allowed out of your house to throw rotten fruit around.........

Could be done if said people were in stocks outside a supermarket.

Now you are living in fantasy land.
That would not be shopping for essential supplies.
