The most pertinent part for me. The Tories have legalised suppression.

    It is loose and contentious. I have no doubt that Thunberg will use funds to take the UK court to the ECHR. She should have taken advice beforehand. I would be very surprised if she didn’t.

      Pretty much everywhere that would be called civil disobedience, yes it’s illegal but it shouldn’t be so you take the arrest and essentially argue it’s morality.

      If she was arrested for preventing entry its probably “okay”. Otherwise morons would be blocking access to abortion clinics and they would not be able to be arrested/dispersed. Its complicated even from moral point of view for me. I like to protest and complain but i also would like places being accessible with the current “trend” of evangelical extremisim spilling over to here… Wuats next blocking access to libraries becsuse they have a book that talks about abortion?
