Two items lifted from the comments:
When the public have to do what the police apparently won’t.
Imagine being so self-absorbed and self-flattering, so untroubled by normal boundaries, that you don’t anticipate how your own disruptive behaviour will tend to be viewed by the wider public – the people on whom your behaviour is being inflicted. A wider public that for the most part can’t afford to spend days on end indulging in Student Union theatrics.
Update:
In the comments over at Samizdata, Mike Solent adds,
This is an interesting example of public order being served by the absence of the police rather than its presence.
Well, yes. Quite.
Update 2:
“I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”
Hilarious.
More people getting fed up with their horsecrap, evidently in Canada, though not Edmonton where, despite a good start by a normal pitching some of their junk off a bridge, they were protected by the police.
“We don’t want to be here either”. Bullshit, you are loving the attention and screwing people over.

Seriously Canada, WTLF? Why didn’t someone AT THE VERY LEAST grab that stupid pink canoe and toss it out of the way? Not to mention that these stupid clowns look like they were all linked together thru those stupid air ducts or wtf are on their arms, thus two or three people could have grabbed two stupid protesters each by their stupid hoodies and dragged their stupid asses out of the way. Y’all deserve what you’re gonna get IMNSHO.
Stupid, stupid Canada.
On the Tarquin issue, maybe not closely related but certainly adjacent, There was a cartoon strip, The Modern Parents by Viz. TMP included a Tarquin who was the beleaguered offspring of what would today be recognised as the wokest of the woke set.

The police were urgently educating us about “pronouns day”, so had to give up their subsidiary task of keeping order

From Henry’s Twitter link…
First they came for the pronouns, but I did not speak up because I was not a pronoun…No, wait a minute…
I see they’ve started gluing themselves to the trains now, which seems like a good idea – they can’t be removed without doing them injury – but I suspect it won’t be long before someone looks them in the eye and says “skin grows back” and proceeds to yank.
If only they’d glue themselves to helicopters it would make it so much easier.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t know how generally it is the case in Canadia, but in the UK Plod has made it abundantly clear whose side he’s on and it is not the poor sods who can’t get to work because of the Marxist eco-loons. As Henry’s link demonstrates…
For anyone confused by matters of class in the UK, middle-class can be both descriptive and pejorative. I certainly qualify as middle-class but have berated the XR enviro-mentalists for indulging their (probably upper) middle-class, consequence-free psychodrama.
Their extinction is a laudable goal !
