It was only a matter of time

Mr. Herbert has great insight into the court processes. He knows he won’t be locked up. His brain is definitely stunted, but he’s still smarter than the judges. JUDICIALJOKE

maybe extinction rebellion should go the hong kong method and just smash the trains with hammers and masks and run off.

Protesting atop *Electric Public Transport* Really going off-message there, ExtinctionRebellion What an own goal. Fail

Leftard Doomsday Cultists protesting against public transport. Dickheads

They can expect more of that, they are a tiny minority who have shown complete contempt for the majority so it is only a matter of time before they get a very harsh wakeup call regarding how a democracy works at its core, by force of numbers, & not the dictates of eco-fascists.

They can climb on my rotors when they are spinning

That’s what happens when the world’s tiniest mayor and the police don’t act.

Hooray 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That's how it's done folks, well done to the Brits for having restraint.

Great news!

Their choice of east London wasn’t a smart one 😂 Choosing working class Canning Town wasn't the best for this kind of stunt. What exactly did they think would happen?
