Lincoln and Greater Lincolnshire news
Environmental campaigners who blocked the M25 have been branded “domestic terrorists” by Lincolnshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner.
In a Tweet on Thursday, Marc Jones said: “My personal view. If you knowingly and purposely block major roads, rail, supply of food and or utilities then you are committing a form of domestic terrorism and should be treated as such swiftly and robustly.Questioned further by Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Jaines, Mr Jones said he believed in “everyone’s right to protest but equally everyone’s right to go about their business too”.
“It is not acceptable that the national infrastructure of this country can be interrupted by any group for their own ends.” Mr Jones said he would not dictate policing tactics to officers, but would support policing to “deliver appropriately robust action to keep our economy working and our way of life protected”.It is the latest in a series of protests in recent years, some of which have seen central London areas blocked off for days at a time.A Chinese restaurant in Stamford is celebrating a food hygiene rating turnaround from ‘zero’ to ‘four’ stars.
