Not A Smart Move By Insulate Britain

The 'Insulate Britain' protest is a worthwhile cause but wow are they going the wrong way about it by blocking busy roads during rush hour.
The tipping point was when motorists physically dragged them out of the way to allow an Ambulance through, that was when any semblance of public support went out the window.
Now into the 12th day of protests, the activists claim they will continue until the government commits to a national programme providing insulation for 29 million homes therefore reducing CO2 emissions which isn't going to be happening anytime soon unfortunately.
I'm all for the reasoning that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease and without the protests going on, nobody would be talking about the CO2 emissions leaking from uninsulated homes, but once the public tunrs against you, then you may as well pack up your banners and go home because it would only be public support that would force the Government to do anything.
Home Secretary Priti Patel has already used the blocking of roads to set in motion further tightening of protests which may well be supported by those who are late for work or unable to travel freely and although it may well end this particular one, it will have far reaching consequences going forward.
The clock is ticking on the climate crisis, after years of feet dragging it may already be too late and future generations are in for a rough ride thanks to the ignorance and stupidity of previous generations, but this isnt the way to do it and the lasting memory will be the woman pleading with the unmoving protesters to let her through to visit her mum in hospital.
Got to be smarter than this to make your argument and take the public with you.
