The UK polizei do seem to have a predisposition for closing roads willy-nilly for the slightest of reasons which may, or may not, be related to the accessibility of the road in question.

Well, presumably the statue is meant to have some symbolic value. And yet, assuming the figure, which resembles the male sculptor, Aske Kreilgaard, is a man – even a man being poisoned with large doses of female hormones and subsequently developing facsimile breasts – that man isn’t going to lactate anything remotely nutritious for the child. So, the symbolism seems to be that the feeding of the baby is of no great consequence.
Which, it has to be said, is an odd message to send.
Akshully…IMNSHO it’s the “authorities” who should be punished here. Of course the protesters knew that the authorities would shut down the bridge but without the action of the authorities, had the protesters tried to shut the road/bridge down by their usual methods, people likely (guessing here) would have done something themselves to remove these scumbags. They certainly would not have waited 40 hours to address the situation.

And the GIVE WAY sign as the centerpiece.
Maybe Manchester should sing the song again, another powerful palliative moment is just what the doctor ordered.
Trebuchet for Fido. Band name…or better album name?
I think that one deserves a post of its own. Comments that-a-way.
1901 Tic Toc.
Don’t bother, David. I can burn my own coat.
1901 Tic Toc.
“Coal mine workers”. And yet better dressed than most office types today.
Back in the day when you could even get punk rockers to put on a coat and tie for a special occasion.
