What happens next? Last week we citizen's arrested a water boss with evidence he may be guilty of public nuisance, a crime that carries a maximum of 10 years in prison. Yet we're still waiting for the police to get back to us. Isn't the law there to protect the public?

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much.
