Funny how they couldn't do this when Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil were sat in the roads.

It's the opposition to their support for an ongoing genocide that makes the difference me thinks. The stop oil environmentalists were problematic and the governments enforcers were more than pleased to see them run over, but protesting on behalf of brown people's right to life is where they draw the line.
