This morning's Beeb article has a quote from a member of the public commenting on the protesters' actions:
"How can they be so selfish."
I think that was from a woman who'd been told her mum was in an ambulance on the way to hospital and she was trying to get to the hospital to see her.

I get that.
And in the same situation I would have been utterly fucking incensed (and a million miles away from seeing the pedantic nuance of someone like me suggesting that "selfish" is an ironic word to be using).
It's more that it goes some way to highlight the conflict between self-interest (and entirely reasonable self-interest at that) and the broader interest of everyone and every thing.
It's not a good look though.

I wonder if the police would have let her through had there been another sort on incident on the motorway causing it to be closed?
There's an unplanned motorway / main road closure somewhere in the UK several times every day. They are rarely in the news.

I don't see the public ever accepting that saving the future might necessitate some changes to their lifestyles.
