The whole just stop oil thing is a few protesters here and there able to cause a lot of disruption, like close M25 etc. So, easy to make arrests and send a message, and a good reason with the potential seriousness of it... (although don't get me wrong I think the sentences are ridiculous).
Farmers protests more complicated, they don't want a war with the farmers, and they aren't actively blocking motorways (yet) or disrupting sports events or throwing soup over Van Gogh's, but they are filling up roads with their tractors and offending my eyes with their wax jackets and ruddy faces...not sure how much the tractor protests has been arranged with police beforehand like with normal organised protests.
The thing is people always want more. Not really sure why people continue to moan about it either as you can see the way all festivals/acts are going. People have done the same about Glastonbury for years too.
The 1 argument I get is for balance of hat announcement the other day really could have done with more acts that could counteract the pop acts. Think it was only really Wunderhorse that done that. And of course still perplexed why nothing came for Saturday. Sure all will become clearer soon
