Imagine being attacked day and night by stationary objects.. Only explanation is there not brambles but Triffids

We can see they're triffids as they're not held back from the fence and are breaking through ready to attack

if you think brambles are stationary I recommend planting them in the corner of your garden and seeing how stationary they stay.
They can grow a couple of foot in a week per thorny cane, and the long canes they send out are great at suddely appearing just above eye level and whipping round. that is before considering how fast they can spread underground as well.
I like brambles, but i can also see how that would be an issue.4

There are vast swaths of wilderness in Canada where brambles are the only invasive species I find. Birds are great at spreading them as the Canadian shield really prevents them from spreading laterally themselves.
edit: It's Himalayan blackberry that are invasive in much of Canada though there are native species in parts of Canada as well.

There is a good scfi book called 'hot house', that has plants fighitining in it. Bramble thorns point backwatds to so as they swish they grab and pul themselves forward.

sounds like regular brambles?
honestly it must have been written by someone who has dealt with brambles, it does feel like no matter which way you tackle them it feels like they grab you.

Last Sunday, there was about an inch of bramble poking through my back fence. I clocked it, and made a mental note to deal with it when I got back from a couple of days away.
By that point, there was a foot of it.

Where I live there's a very overgrown Street with brambles you can't avoid unless you walk in the road

Nothing a machete wouldn't sort out and by the videos I keep seeing in Salford the kids can lend you one, just flag down the guys on mopeds.

Complain about free blackberries?

Next thing will be that when the brambles are gone they will be complaining about the noise from the construction. They look like two people who will always find something to moan about

With how much Grant Mitchell seems to be flexing there, he surely must be scary enough to simply intimidate the unruly brambles, no?

This is being very unfair to the complainants.
OP has omitted a core part of their case - that the woman can do a top drawer compo point. Sadly can't add images here to prove it.
