M25, 'Insulate Britain' Protesters and Humanity.

Visible to anyone in the world

Having listened to  Radio 4 this morning and  the interview including one of the protesters of Insulate Britain,  I have to wonder have they given a thought to all those who use the M25.  If so , drivers that  are fed up  may use alternative routes.  What impact that will  have on others ? Do they understand why the M25 was built in the first place ?    Surely the protesters  must have  thought that if they drive people off the motorway, the other routes will be clogged ! Has  there been any thought for those that reside and work within the towns on alternative routes for which the M25 was built for ?

 The M25  is hazardous at the best of times and concentration levels of every driver is challenged. How many  of the  protesters actually use the M25 ?

 Have they thought about the newly passed drivers who have to use it , do they remember how they felt ? Have they thought of the pressures people maybe under  trying to get to appointments and delivery's on time ?  What effect is this  having on them ? Is it a good thing to heighten their anxiety with the thought that people are now jumping out on  them . Maybe they have to picture that fear or actually drive on the M25 to experience it.

Do the protesters eat and wish to  have other supplies and services ?   How do you think the suppliers  manage to deliver goods  including insulation ? Do they think of  their family while protesting ? What if they need to call for assistance from the emergency services  but they  are delayed or  unable to get through due to  protesting ?

Would  they complain when they have to wait ?  

Why target the roads when the protest is about insulating houses ?

What other methods have they used to get there point across ?

l feel they should seriously rethink their strategy !

Why not find a peaceful way to protest that does not involve injuring innocent bystanders and our emergency services that are  stretched  to capacity as it is.

 You do not have to endanger life to protest and evoke change   If you really  want to make a change  look  and research  the ingenious people, and how to actually make a difference. 

Why  disrupt others in such a dangerous manor  is that really caring for humanity ?.
