OTOH, why didn’t she get out of bed earlier and take a different route … 
But surely, that doesn’t condone her actions?

No, it doesn’t … if her foot had slipped and she’d run over the protesters then she would have been charged with assault and, if one of the protesters had been killed by her action, she would have been charged with manslaughter (or worse).

Funny you should say that, that’s exactly what I thought as well. What if she had killer heels on to showoff her ample erm…erm… assets
I suppose that’s a fair point. I know when I was at school you had to go to the closest. Same for my children as I recall. Now I think the parents can, within reason, can select which the child can go to.
No but I don’t condone the actions of those blocking a public highway either.If it wasn’t for them this incident wouldn’t have happened.

Yep. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Funny you should say that - I saw a European TV series (The Trial (TV series) - Wikipedia) recently and the murder victim was killed by one of the murderer’s stiletto heels penetrating her eye.
Blimey! Literally killer heels 
Is it true that women only wear those ridiculous heels because it makes their bum look good?
Yes. It’s true…
I’m sure the forum women wouldn’t need them then 
Muddy, you have surprised me, on this thread, you have out and out defended a “Chav”, something I would ordinarily do, but for a different reason, maybe you dislike the protesters or what they stand for more, no excuses now, using your vehicle as a weapon is a no no, in any circumstance.
I don’t know. You’ll have to ask them 
Yes you are darn right I have . She may be a chav - when I last looked that was not a crime - unlike the up their own fundaments sat in the road who were in fact breaking the law . The useless police should have moved them on … She was also a mother just going about her business taking her child to school . She has no criminal record at all yet the judge came down on her like a ton of bricks . He is probably an up himself misogynist too. Judging by some of the comments here she was judged less by her actions than by her looks and accent .i totally support climate change and have campaigned in my own small way for environmental issues for years . But they should have let this woman through to take her child to school they were completely unhurt and will go home feeling smug and self righteous but what have they gained ?
I don’t think much of them to be quite honest.
Because she didn’t know some middle aged idiots were sat in the road ?
“the judge came down on her like a ton of bricks . He is probably an up himself misogynist too”
The Chairman of the Bench at Basildon Magistrates Court for the case against SS was Susan Hawkins.
Some nudge … 
Do I look that stupid?

I agree,not a little snobbery
The audio on the Youtube clip maybe says more than the mothers actions. Imo.
