The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Anti-blockade laws are the government's justified response to public outcries. Not only do groups like Just Stop Oil ruin parades and disrupt regular traffic but they also threaten lives by blocking ambulances from transporting patients to the hospital. The government has finally made the correct decision to deal with these protesters. There are more effective and civil ways to converse about climate change.

The Telegraph

Establishment-critical narrative

Just Stop Oil believes in saving the planet from destructive oil and gas burning, and it doesn't give a free pass to any enabling institutions. This is why after Pride in London made United Airlines its signature parade sponsor, the grassroots group gave an ultimatum of removing the sponsor or being disrupted. Civil disobedience is how change happens, and so these brave protesters should continue to slow traffic if it means bringing an end to the Earth-burning fossil fuel industry.
