Bus driver rams Just Stop Oil protesters blockade nearly running them over
The Scottish Sun ^ | 10/19/23 | The Scottish Sun

Just Stop Oil protestors tried to prevent people boarding the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland.

A number of people were being taken on board the vessel at the Dorset port more than two months after it was evacuated following the discovery of Legionella bacteria in the water supply.

As the eco-protesters tried to halt the progress of the bus, the driver refused to stop, making those sitting on the ground have to move out of the way very quickly.

Background to the best of my knowledge: Some migrants to Britain were housed on a barge "Bibby Stockholm". (Not stated, but suspected by me to be undocumented migrants). Ligionella bacteria was found in the water supply on the barge, so the migrants were evacuated. The barge was disinfected, and the migrants were returned to the barge today via bus.

Today's video shows orange vest "Just Stop Oil" protestors trying to stop the bus of migrants. The bus driver wasn't having it, it proceeded at a slow speed until the protestors cleared out of the way.

This video reminded me of a video in August in Nevada at Burning Man festival involving "Just Stop Oil" protestors and tribal police.

Britain and Europe are going to be in for a uncomfortable awakening as they discover that their newest arrivals don't give a sh*t about climate change.

Score One for the Normals! That driver was very compassionate, he was toying with them for a long time, and gradually, he began picking up steam. By then, most of the Just Stoppers were getting a little tuckered out, then he accelerated some more, and was free of those annoying Annoyers!

Why must these people block traffic? Why can’t they stand on the side of the road with their signs?

I’m looking forward to protests in Miami and most especially Brooklyn.

Or the Long Island Expressway during rush hour. I drive a truck interstate all up and down the upper east coast, and the Long Island Expressway has by far by FAR the most insane drivers I’ve ever come across in my life. These freakin’ eco-lunatics would be run over 1000 times before they even got their signs out. Last time I was long the LI Expressway I saw a guy driving his car with the engine on fire!! Driving like he was going to church

They think they have extra privileges.

Rams?

More like a nudge. A slow, irresistible nudge.

That’s pretty stupid. Did he eventually abandon the vehicle?

I agree the bus driver just gave them a nudge, but the Scottish Sun titled its video with the word “rams”.

That driver with the firey engine might have told an officer;
“It always does that when I leave the air conditioning on too long. I just haven’t made time to get it fixed. I get a ticket for that?”
