Default Those protesters again - London stopped - who can we sue?

Not normally the most epic of journeys. But there were major problems
on the Northern Line, so I got off at London Bridge. I took an
overground train to Charing Cross and got on a 24 to go to Victoria.


Whitehall was completely blocked off because of those protesters
again, something to do with Tamils. I think they are either for or
against them. Buses were being diverted god-knows-where. So I got off,
walked to Westminster, took a tube to Victoria, took the overground to
Balham then realised that both Balham and Tooting Broadway were shut
owing to engineering works, so I had to get a 355 bus home.


Anyway, when the French trawlermen blockaded the port recently P&O
said it was thinking of suing them. Is there some organization behind
these Parliament Square demos that might be sued by disgruntled
punters?


They weren't entirely to blame, but they didn't help.


When you get this worked out, let me know. I often my journey home
seriously obstructed by numpties who for some reason think it's okay to
drive cars in central London. I'd say it was as often as five or six days
a week, and would be very interested indeed in suing them to pieces.


In the case of people who deliberately block the streets of the
capital city with a personal steel box, doesn't treason cover it?
