Are you suggesting water should be free?

I am not surprised in the slightest. And I suspect this more than local plod involved. You could, and I am not doing so but there is the meat on the bone, make an argument that the attacks on the Uluz infrastructure is falls potentially into the category of terrorism.

But direct action does work. Almost any and every revolutionary movement involves it.

Now is this Bladerunner phenomenon the tiny flames of a massive insurrection? Probably not. But something is clearly happening, even if just by accident rather than design. Independent groups springing up, essentially copy-cating what they see others doing. Maybe some connections between groups, representing (once again more by accident than design) the kind of cell structure favoured by insurgency movements and certainly no top down leadership in place that is co-ordinating it but once again I refer to our friends over the water on the Continent.

The Yellow-Jackets came about by way of a protest movement around people loathing increasing taxation on their motoring. And they put s***-loads out willing to take direct action. That had an impact.

This is a law-and-order concern way above just vandalism.

The system loves demos. But you can put a million on a protest march and it achieves very little. The examples are to many to even begin quoting (and ultimately I include the Yellow-Jackets in this but the wider, and lesser reported, damage they did to speed cameras and the like is the real story) but an organised minority, willing to do rather than talk, that needs nipping in the bud.

And chancers like Fox know that, hence him seeking all the PR he can get on this.

Packham basically said the downside to blowing up oil pipelines was the punishment when caught.

Police should be paying him a visit to search for explosives

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Let's cut through the crap.

Do you really think that a Left wing activist would get a visit from the police?

Shall we start a thread to discuss all future episodes of activists breaking the law or encouraging it and see how that goes?

Happens all the time. Prosecuted all the time. Not what I think, it’s evidential that they do get thrown in the slammer on the regular. Examples already above… you’re clouded by partisan dogma on this one. Yet again

Ah the inevitable segue.

Returning to the discussion point, do you concede your statement on 'lefty activists' not getting visits from the police is observably false?

I doubt you will. Almost like ideology getting in the way of objectivity again.
