He's confirmed if he was on a protest he's willing to block a responding ambulance

Well the obvious answer is to make him the dying patient inside the ambulance and see if his mates would let it through!!

Just seen a report on his farm, the reporter noted an abundance of 4x4 diesel vehicles in the yard. Going by the photos a lot of them haven’t moved in years. The place looks like a sh!tshow.

Who is financing these groups? If Mr.Hallam isn't growing and flogging his organic carrots to keep the wolf from the door how is he making a living? I can see that some of the protesters are not obviously short of the means to live, either off the state or Mummy and Daddy or an index-linked pension, but how are the people who agitate and organise for a living, actually making that living?

No idea but it will soon be a case of the upper class meets the working class again when they tried blocking the tube stations a few years ago.

Good on the guys moving the idiots out of the road to get the ambulance through, I’m guessing the police are just as bad there as they are here then….

You’ve answered your own question. Mummy and Daddy, pensions and donations from bed wetters.

I went to uni with a lot of eco warrior types. They were invariably upper middle class and always supported by mum and dad or trust funds. I was once handed a petition to sign in a lecture, something about BP and the evils of the oil industry. I handed it back to them saying that were it not for the oil industry I wouldn’t be sitting there next to them.
