  • Interesting. I might need some help with this; what's the wisdom in staging a protest and obstructing one of the more environmentally friendly (?) forms of transport in the capital?

  • I think the thinking goes:

    Disruption -> Attention -> Public awareness and support-> Government forced to act

    The protests this morning have got my football teams' WhatsApp groups talking about XR for the first time - but it's not favourable.

  • Disrupting tube/DLR transport breaks down at the public support stage, IMO. If my long haul flight was disrupted because of an airport protest I might be a bit pissed off but completely get where they're coming from, but without hearing any protesters explaining the tube stunt I'm struggling with it.
