WE HAVE all been outraged by the scenes of eco-warriors slow marching through central London, scaling Dartford Crossing and supergluing themselves to the Mall.
Setting out to inflict as much misery on all of us as they possibly can.
Ordinary people haven’t been able to get to work to earn money for their families, important hospital appointments have been missed and families have been unable to move past the barricades to make it to their loved one’s funerals.
Ambulances and fire engines have been blocked, unable to help people in need.
And instead of patrolling our streets and catching criminals, hardworking police officers have spent hundreds of hours trying to prevent disruption for the public who are simply trying to get on with their lives.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
I have made clear that I would do whatever it takes to put an end to this misery and today, we have brought in new criminal offences to put people who try to carry out these guerrilla tactics behind bars.
This spring and summer, the UK will be host to many special events, Eurovision, the FA Cup Final and of course this weekend’s historic Coronation.
I am determined not to allow selfish protesters to get away with causing disorder and misery at these important moments.
That is why these new criminal offences will come in from today, to stop the chaos now.
