Today, roads in to Sydney's CBD were obstructed by members of Blockheads Australia. I ask that the NSW Government just gaol these idiots. None of them have two bob to spare let alone the $22,000.00 needed to pay the maximum fine for doing this.

If anyone deserves to be shot (literally), it's that bunch of morons. I suppose they are all on welfare, lapping it up at our expense.

They should get the maximum penalty, their welfare should be taken away, and then they should stay in gaol until they somehow produce the money for the fine.

I noticed a cop parked off the road on my way to the workshop today. He was looking up the road but had no radar. It was an unusual spot and it took me a while to work out why he was there -- on the lookout for these clowns.

When police cars are sitting idle like that they are usually scanning number plates for wanted crims, disqualified drivers, unregistered cars, etc. Today would have been an exception and maybe for the rest of the week too.

Yes, I've seen that quite a bit, but this cop was standing on the footpath, arms crossed.

New protest laws came into effect in April, aimed at deterring protests that disrupt roads, ports and other infrastructure with penalties of up to $22,000 or two years’ gaol.

And yet the clowns (3 from VIC and 1 from QLD) were granted bail today -- unopposed by the prosecutor -- so they can do it all again.

The law is often desribed as an Ass & they do like to remind us frequently by acting like one.

The twit that immobilised her hired car by bike-locking her neck to the steering wheel should have been left in the car - the car should have been lifted by a Hiab crane onto the traffic island further back and just left there with her stuck in it. I am sure she'd either then remember where she hid the key or she'd be hoping there was enough juice left in her phone battery to call for help. If she happened to need a visit to the loo in the meantime - bad luck! She'd have the choice of baking it or giving birth to it.

My thoughts exactly Brad. She should have been towed and left somewhere to be ignored like they deserve.

She was banged up yesterday for a breach of bail. Some people never learn.

I just hope for her sake that someone has reminded her that being in the city watch house is not the same as being at Silverwater Gaol. It's still possible for one to destroy one's reputation and career by messing up the basics.

Now let us realise that there may not be much going on up top. Perhaps like another internationally never went to shool, or cannot be educated (nothing to program).

We should in a water starved country like Australia most times (not the East coast currently) rejoice in the fact that brain washing this lot merely involves a light rinse; Thereby conserving water.

From the Daily Telegraph:

QUOTE: A vegan climate activist who brought Sydney’s traffic to a standstill has sent an entitled message to NSW Police to “get some real food” after complaining that her cheese sandwich wasn’t “vegan”.

Protester Harley McDonald-Eckersall, using her Facebook account “Holly Eckells” also whinged about “dry cereal and fruit” not being food, after spending the night at Surry Hills police station following her arrest.

But NSW Police Minister Paul Toole said if protesters were “so concerned about their dietary requirements, they should heed the multiple warnings not to engage in illegal and unauthorised protests”.

“Law abiding citizens rightly expect to see these offenders arrested and held in police cells, at the pleasure of Her Majesty, not the Marriott,” he said.

“These professional pests are on notice – if you don’t like the cereal or fruit served in custody, stop your economic vandalism and get a real job.”

If I was in charge of the gaol I would serve up the very best food - bread and water. The water would be straight out of the tap too, with all the fluoride, chlorine and the other run off from the Warragamba catchment. No butter, no vegemite, nothing else. As per above posts.... don't like it? Behave like a responsible citizen.
