I agree with you that with force he could probably have been knocked down 4 hours ago and the bridge would have been opened. I don't agree with like keeping this charade going at the cost of the tax payers or the people going about their business cos you know cameras are watching and you dont want to look harsh. in most countries guy would have been shot with a bean bag and would have fallen.
He's not really disrupting anyones life, much like Just Stop Oil protestors weren't disrupting people's lives in the gantries, it's our nanny state that is doing that. If I'm driving round the M25, wtf do I care if someone is up in the gantry as long as they aint lobbing stuff. I get the security risk with this guy, but it's not even that, because it's been established why he's there, with a flag doing his thing. We just over-react to everything, not saying you are bro, just our general emergency and media response to it.
Wtf is @Sucky when we need him, he could nip over to Big Ben and offer him some weed if he comes down.
My exact thoughts man. Like, you get up and think "I'm gonna climb big ben, I'll use my loafers I think"
They stop traffic for two reasons, the first is that people protesting on gantries or bridges distract drivers attention (which this guy could do) and the second is that if they fall they could go through a windscreen killing the driver.
but no one fell from a gantry mate. I don't really see how someone in a gantry is a distraction, well no more than the speed cameras in some of them. Don't think anyone was in a gantry when someone ploughed into the back of me, in fact there was no distractions at all, they just weren't paying attention - think she was looking at her makeup in the mirror.
What like the Happy Birthday banners lol....or someone is 50 Today... You wait until Sucky sees this... please log in to view this image
A banner is a quick glance like an advert on a trailer in a field at the side of motorways. People holding and waving banners are a distraction as in "what the **** are those pricks doing.
I take it the Corbyn socks fell apart at the first sign of resistance, much like his parliamentary campaign?
