You are all driving somewhere for a holiday?


The protesters are gluing their faces to the roads. Insulate Britain because of climate change.

Well, it's surely a better visit than what the UK got with that orange turd. At least Biden has the proper manners for his hosts.

Wow. I wasn't expecting that to be literal. I thought that was just a turn of phrase that's generally understood in the UK, but not so much elsewhere. I'm assuming what we're seeing is a progression of the road-block style of protest, where protesters block roads to make a point. While I generally sympathize with environmental initiatives, I can't get behind this type of protest because it tends to cause traffic to back up, and so many vehicles spend more time idling than they should, thus increasing CO2 emissions. :roll:

Of course, these protests usually end with cops breaking them up, and anyone who refuses to move tends to get arrested. I've seen footage of people just laying down on a road, and the cops have to literally carry them, but they will do that if need-be. I'm guessing the face gluing in this case is a way to prevent the cops from being able to carry them away. The only problem with that is, they have to eat, sleep and do other things that I'm not going to mention, so they can't actually stay there forever, and if the cops can't pry them from the road, I wish them luck in being able to move period. 8O

It is to block the road? Can't they block the road with physical things other then themselves like lorries?

Set a petrol tanker alight. That will block the road for hours!

Hmm, I'd take Boris for Joe, but the Brits have to take Kamala too; don't worry, you won't even notice her, you might even have trouble finding her.

They are protesting for climate change which does not make sense. The governments are trying to reduce polution, but they want more polution?

At the moment, I think it's more trying to avoid being blamed for anything, but yes, also that.

Uh, yeah, officers, this is, uh, totally a climate change protest, what other reason could I have for gluing my face to the pavement?

They have stopped ambulances from getting sick people to hospital.

Drivers have got out of their vehicles and literally dragged them off the roads and some drivers have run into them as well and they still don't move.

The world's gone mad.
