Playing devil’s advocate for a moment,  :devil

I can see a few potential hiccups with that plan. Proposing direct action in the current climate is hazardous and encouraging others to do so will attract the attention of the authorities.  :censored
 
The police will be able to move any bikes causing an obstruction on the road. They are quite capable of finding ‘ways and means’ of getting their way.  :bandana

Are you personally willing to test their resolve if they threaten to arrest you?  Would everyone be happy to have their bike scrutinised?  :nono 

Furthermore, they would be well aware of what was planned because there are no doubt police officers who trawl biker forums for all sorts of information and then would be in a position to ban any such protest which had the potential to cause problems.  :tap


The forecourt is private property and as such the owners would be able to close it for any period they see fit or refuse to serve anyone seeking to cause a nuisance and compel you to leave. Civil action might be used against individuals and defending that will cost you more than a tank of fuel!  :thumb_down

 Dressing up in pseudo-religious garb, whilst amusing to some will not gain you any brownie points in this day and age, you are far more likely to be portrayed as a right-wing bigot and if anyone claims to be alarmed and harassed by your actions, you get your collar felt. 

:hang


Surely, the most effective way to hurt a business is not to frequent it. We are obviously not wanted there so f*ck them, go somewhere we are. Simples! :thumbsup



Remember, I’m playing devil’s advocate or presenting the opposing argument. :devil :devil :fishing
If you believe that load of old bollocks..........

Whilst everything your saying is right and i do agree with you in principle.
This is the kind of defeatist and submisive attitude that made this country wot it is now!!
A land of cowering dogs rolling over and waiting for our masters too kick us again and again.
We are a nation of whiners and complainers cos we have no rights too show our displeasure against our government theyre laws. And none of us have the balls too stand up and say ''FUCKYOU IL DO WOT I FUCKIN WANT WHEN I FUCKIN WANT''.... :taz :taz Rant over
