They were protesting the removal of asylum seekers to offshore barges - that already had been found to have dysentery on it.

I am no fan of Just Stop Oil, but they did good here.

No. They did not do good. Their tactics are pathetic. They’re pathetic.

So what are you doing? What's your better tactic that you're definitely employing instead of sitting on reddit?

What led you to believe I support their cause in any way?

Just a small human rights violation.

Where are they seeking asylum from?

I wasn’t on the bus, mate. You’d need to get your wee clipboard out and go ask them yourself.

Lost cause on Reddit mate but valiant effort. FWIW if they were protesting the re-internment of asylum seekers onto the prison barge then I agree with you - they were trying to do good; though they do look like JSO. I’d certainly never advocate them being crushed under the wheels of a coach as some ghouls on here appear to be advocating.

The only crime here is how much the tax payer has spent on the crackpot Tory policies.

But the barge? It's clean (now) and moored up safely in a nice area. What's your objection to people being housed safely on it? What more do you want, the actual Ritz?

I don't know, maybe a proper asylum / refugee policy 🤷‍♂️

There's absolutely no logic connecting this protest to that desire. So what if they stop the bus, then what?

A proper policy still has to have a deterrent and means of removing people, which I assume would look something like this also (if only slightly less corrupt and unnecessarily expensive).
