Prime Minister Boris Johnson has caused quite a stir on British social media as he announced tougher sanctions against activists “unfairly blocking motorways”, and new powers for the police to deal with “illegitimate protesters”.
BoJo is indignant that “illegal” protesters are blocking motorists in his country and causing inconvenience. Yet he and the U.K. government publicly supported violent Hong Kong protesters who daily blocked roads for months on end and even engaged in violence against anyone who did not share their views. Then he laid out a welcome mat for these same people to come to the U.K. How come?
