What is your view on this and similar protests?
I'm slightly conflicted. On the one hand, I will always defend our right to protest and I think it's an important one, regardless of what is/isn't ultimately achieved.
However, I don't support this specific type of protest. Yes, I get that's what the protestors want to achieve (major disruption) however I side more with those caught up in the delays and tailbacks. Imagine someone on their way to an important job interview, a job they really need/want for whatever reason. They're delayed and miss their interview and ultimately aren't considered for the job.
100's of other examples we can all think of.
