Remember when they would arrest people who criticized the monarchy after the queen of england died in the UK? Someone even got arrested for holding an empty sign because they feared that something bad could be written on it in the future.

My sympathy for a literal peasant class in 2020 is limited.
Ask France what to do if you’re solution oriented, British progressives, otherwise gl “reforming” your way out of a hereditary ruling class with veto power.

Blocking roads, and stopping ordinary people from going about their day, is a very ill thought out way to protest. It doesn’t affect the people making the decisions, it merely punishes the least powerful members of society.
And it will inevitably turn the public against you, as we see here.
