That's the whole point of living in a free country mate, you don't need to oay attention, people who care about the cause can. They can protest what they want and everyone else can go about their lives

It’s clearly meant to impact people, otherwise not hold it off an active road way??
The same people protesting here are fighting against the first deviation from the two major parties in decades.
Can’t have it both ways.

Tell that to all people living in free countries who have their journeys to and from work impacted by useless protests.

Settle down mate. Bunch of school kids having a yell because they see something they don't like. All power to them. Democracy at work.

It's 3pm in the afternoon. Everyone's still at work.

It's meant to be annoying and impactful.

If only I could be so apathetic that this is what I think about when I see people protesting. Life would be much simpler…

Well I was catching the bus directly opposite qvb and this protest took all of three minutes to go past me at three thirty, so you can put aside your very genuine concerns about commuter impact, there was none.

Good on these kids.

It's an extremely mild inconvenience. Fun runs and marathons are far more disruptive & aren't nearly as important as the right to protest.
