Boris Johnson has a problem. Just as his government is following multiple routes to curb the right to protest, juries keep acquitting activists accused of nonviolent actions.
The current government has little interest in preventing climate breakdown, whatever it may claim – and environmental protesters simply will not give up.
I first wrote about the so-called ‘perverse’ juries – as the government and right-wing media circles are wont to call them – for openDemocracy in January. The growing problem for the government is that there are getting to be rather too many of them.
