No. Idiots protesting about the rising cost of fuel. They care so much that they will increase their own, and everyone else's mpg, by going slow on motorways and A roads!
According to my information the protests will be around the Thelwell Viaduct, Croft Interchange, A55 in North Wales, Charnock Richard services and around the M60 and M62 in Greater Manchester.
Just a heads up as who knows if anything will actually happen.

Posted on 02/07/2022 20:36 by WherenextThe A55 one was reported to be on the Menai and Brittania bridges across the Menai Straits linking Angelsey with the mainland. Haven't looked recently so if in the area best checking locally.

It’s happening around here. M18/M180 affected, and apparently just to add to the fun, West Yorkshire Police decided a “stinger” might be useful around Ferrybridge. Like that would get traffic moving quickerš¤£Duh!
So it’s the scenic route for us today, no hardship there.

People protest for lots of different reasons, injustice, being marginalised, emotional reasons, economic reasons etc…… sometimes it’s the only way they think their fears and concerns can be highlighted, particularly if those implementing the hardship either don’t care, don’t understand, or are in fact corrupt….. For some, peaceful none violent protest might seem like all they have left.
