I hope it’s no more than 2 days in jail. Putting someone in jail for longer than the time it takes to clean up a foodstuff they threw at an inanimate object would be ludicrous and cruel wouldn’t it?

Some climate action activists in the UK recently got 5 year sentences. I’m worried for these people because even though they knew the risks of bashing up against the UK’s absurdly draconian anti-protest laws (and props to their bravery), the recent sentences were shocking and felt like another level of escalation beyond what most people were expecting.

“Ludicrous and cruel” is certainly the description for it

Given the “sentences” given to the elite, I’m surprised this wasn’t a fine. But then again, these people aren’t the elite.
