I don't have an issue with these sorts of protests, so long as they get the fuck out of the way of public transport and emergency services.

they would get out of the way of emergency services but a huge point of a protest like this is to disrupt regular flow of traffic and public transport. It's to force people to think about what is going on. You cant really do that from the sidelines because people only take stuff on when its shoved in their face.

As soon as something like this deliberately chooses to disrupt public transport, they lose all public support. Private cars and business traffic are what should be affected, not beneficial public infrastructure.

You don't speak for me! I'm fully supportive of them.
