Oh and the child who died of a fatal asthma attack that the coroner ruled as attributable to pollution is Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah. Her mother is Rosanund. A brave lady doing amazing work to fight for cleaner air. I’d be surprised if she would condone another child being prevented from accessing urgent medical care. Her whole raisin d’etre is to protect children.
it would not have hurt the protest one jot to allow this taxi through and then resume the road blocking. The fact they didn’t shows them up to be self-righteous arseholes, so drunk on their own sense of virtue they’ve lost sight of their own humanity.
If they were really concerned about people, they would not have done this.
The crying shame is this behaviour just entrenches opinion against them and their cause. As someone who’s passionate about climate change and reducing air pollution I see this as a disaster. Because, you know, I want actual real change that will make a real difference.
