Out of sheer fascination, I went and observed a couple of these morons after they glued themselves to the road a few months ago. There were at least half a dozen police officers there, trying to handle the stressful job of turning around the blocked motorists while removing the protestors.

 

How much would it have cost the taxpayer to provide those police resources, and how many potentially life threatening police callouts would have been delayed as a result? 

 

I was thinking we should send them the bill, but then most of them are probably unemployed and broke. 

 

I dare say if this was all happening 100 years ago you'd be saying exactly ther same thing about the suffragettes. Or is the difference between road and railing that small.
