That Went Well

November 28, 2022 Longrider General News, Political 15

Plod got outmanoeuvred.

The Met Police – who had said they were ‘fully prepared’ to tackle Just Stop Oil – were given the run-around today by the activists, who were so unbothered by them they went to the pub to celebrate a birthday.

Eco zealots JSO made no secret of their desire to disrupt traffic today, posting online about their plan, and their belief that their new slow-walk strategy made them ‘un-arrestable’.

This was after Plod went public with their readiness to deal with the disruption, because telling the enemy your plans is always a sure-fire tactic. What can possibly go wrong? Unlike the eco nutters who changed theirs and stymied Plod in the process. Much as I despise them and everything they stand for, they easily outwitted the slow thinking Met. Which, it seems, isn’t difficult.

It was something of a PR own goal for the Met, who had invited journalists to watch them in action.

Keystone, it seems, is missing its cops.

  1. I truly don’t know which of these gang of useless, infantilised, ludicrously self opinionated and solipsistic morons I despise most. Truly I don’t.

    Both live in their own self contained worlds, completely divorced from the lives and concerns of the people who provide all they need.

    We see increasing anarchy down to a police farce wilfully refusing to enforce law.

    Tyranny or chaos? That choice will be made sooner or later. I wonder whos tyranny that will be. Not these stupid children!

  3. I’m actually wondering about how well it did go, and for whom. The protesters certainly caught plod off guard, but then as far as I can see, there were no vandalised art works or buildings, no one needed to be unglued from the road and the ‘protest’ was kept on the move and lawful. So who can claim victory with this one? (BTW I only skipped through the DM article).

  4. I hate JSO with a passion, but I don’t feel much differently about the Met Police, so it’s funny to see them get played like a fiddle, even if it is by JSO.
    If I was a landlord in one of those pubs though, they would all have been thrown out without ceremony

    • If I was a landlord in one of those pubs though, they would all have been thrown out without ceremony

      Given the dire state of pubs nowadays they were probably happy to have the custom, especially during the afternoon, even if it was a bunch of welfare thieving Swampy’s.

  5. Spare a thought for the ordinary coppers who don’t like this woke bollocks any more than the rest of us.

  6. Leaking the details of the planned enforcement in the knowledge the protestors will just change tack is a deliberate ploy by the senior Police to smite a Government they don’t like.

    So it’s now down to the Home Secretary to start threatening the comfy pensions of these arseholes and make them do their jobs.

    • The guy is 57 years old. There really is no fixing stupid.

      Would he be now open to civil suits for damages if you were caught in the traffic?

  8. Take the names of all the protesters and check with the Government if they are claiming benefits that might be withheld for not making themselves available for work.

    For any that are not claiming qualified benefits check their transport for road worthiness.
