“We are told that banning such tactics, as recent laws have done, is necessary to prevent ambulances from being obstructed or commuters delayed. GB News claimed that ambulances were being blocked by groups such as Insulate Britain, but no video evidence or otherwise was provided. When Josiah Mortimer of Byline Times covered a farmers’ protest in central London, in which roads were blocked by tractors, he filmed real ambulances struggling to get through. But neither the police nor other media were remotely interested.”

When I got to the #handsoff protest yesterday, a firetruck needed to get through on 42nd Street and the thousands of people in the street split so fast to make way it was unbelievable (in the sense that I don’t know how so many people moved so fast to make so much space)
