Currently stuck in traffic due to protestors on Dartford bridge
Looks like bridge is closed so using the higher tunnel as a contraflow.
Leaving Cheshunt soon heading to Romford so will need to keep an eye on it even though I should be off before it.
Got to feel for the poor sods with HGV tests today at Purfleet/Thurrock.
Tests cancelled and no refunds for at least 8 months……
The whole lot is grid locked took me nearly 2.5 hours to get from the A13 junction to the bridge
Southern privileged softy Tarquins, get on your pushbikes and go and do it on the Humber Bridge. Oh perhaps not, it might be a little colder further North and we wouldn’t want Annabel to catch a chill would we? or maybe they’d run the risk of being thrown over the edge.
Are they actually on the arc of the bridge?
Id love to walk up that bridge…great views…
No need to close it though surely? If they fall off they are gonna get splatted anyway & they won’t do it again

The deck is about 53m over the water, but the towers are about 137m (445ft) high.
Yep, a wonderful view …for anyone who hasn`t got their eyes tight shut. 
No idea how they got on the cables.
But personally I’d just leave them there they got up they can get down
But no doubt police and everyone will get involved n bring them safely down
What are they protesting about exactly?
Edit’; Just saw news, they are environmental and oil protestors. 
The same crew are presently in Asda stores pouring all the milk over the floor.
They must all have put in a days holiday at their work/jobs eh?..Aye right.
Another clip on news is these idiots sat on roads stopping people getting to work in a cost of living crisis,.and a lot of people on minimum wages.
A guy was pulling them off (oooh err Mrs ) presumably trying to get to work,.and is being accused on the tv of assault .
Where tf are the Police,.are they just monitoring and observing it as they did with those ■■■■ s in Bristol vandalising the city?
I know they have to pander to the ridiculous pc wet lettuces and their rules and laws in this country, but we need to go back to a bit of 70s style policing, …but without the corruption.
As for the cretins on Dartford,…Am I the only one who would like to see and laugh if one or all of em fall off?
I personally can not stand the self righteous or ■■■■ attention seekers. 
I always had great sympathy for people who went up on bridges to jump , commit suicide , but not bothered if these fall as they know exactly what there doing
Couldn’t we pack these off to Rwanda as well

Brave intrepid type of guy or complete f/wit?
You decide.
I was really hoping it would be more … 'We are wanting the government to AAhhhhhAaaaaahhhhhh
Just think of the disruption these ■■■■■ are causing, the lost revenue to business, not to mention t cost of the upcoming rescue mission to get them down.
Jail the ■■■■ s.
As opposed to anyone using similar tactics at the gates of Dungeness power station to protest against the climate scam would be arrested and sectioned.
It’s all part of the government’s agenda.

Well, he’s got his hi-viz on…can’t tell him nothing.
This lot are arms of the government ,they are an excuse to bring new laws on disputes .
I don’t understand :-
- Why the bridge had to be closed?
- Why not leave them for as long as they want to stay? just ignore them.
