Very predictable

I think 28 days is the norm for contempt, usually judges do not unnecessarily commit to prison.

That would mean, in effect 14 days actual or they may just get released as prisons have enough to handle already, they don't actually need this type of person.

Prisons are usually quite warm as it dulls the senses.

There is no point to prison for this, as apart from the initial shock which wears off very quickly, the result may be negative as the prisoner comes under other inmates influences.

A meaningful fine would have been far more appropriate.

I don't. Your statement reminds me of what Wedgwood Benn once said, that his conscience was above the law. I don't think that's right and is similar to those who claim that their God's law is above civil law. It's a slippery slope which leads to many of the problems we see in today's world.

I believe the law applies to everyone, and no-one should break it and accept the consequences. Should they do so, then the consequences are not sufficient. Protest, campaign and argue as much as you wish, but always within the law.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Agreed I was caught up on M25 during their first protest. Cars/ lorries stopped in traffic jams with engines continually running, does nothing for climate change. Most protesters I have seen interviewed were from Northern and Western England, wonder if they drive to the M25? Idiots who do nothing for a ultimately worthy cause

They won't mind being glued to the floor of the prison, I'm sure.

Red and Blue Army!

Offer them avocado on toast and they'll soon back down.
