This morning boycott Israel campaigners blockaded the gates of Cargoflora and Carmel Agrexco in Hayes, Middlesex.
UPDATE - Police are allowing staff at Cargoflora to use force against campaigners blocking their gates in protest against their import of Israeli flowers for Valentine's Day. Two activists who were superglued together had their hands ripped apart and staff were able, while police cleared the area, to wrench the metal gates, which were D-Locked to the necks of the activists open.
Staff tried to cut the D Locks on the second gate then tried to open the gates with people's necks still attached. Supporters resisted but were repelled by the police. All but one activist has now been removed and one is receiving medical attention
The Agrexco blockade is still holding strong...

And why shouldn't we be outraged?

I am disgusted that anyone would post something suggesting that protestors were "asking" to be injured. Do us all a favour - keep your callous anti-human sentiments to yourself. Particularly, do me a favour. I'd rather not puke on my keyboard.

Push comes to shove this is just like any of the rougher sports except opposing sides are real rather than token enemies. Whatever you choose to do need to learn if a bang up who (because of the circumstances and not the intent) gets called for the foul, whose the "charge" or whose the "block". Except that it's not a penalty card or sitting on the sidelines but courts and maybe jail. I'm not saying do or don't do anything. I'm saying learn the rules. Because this is likely to get very nasty. If the other guy knows the rules and you don't then you are "playing" at a severe disadvantage.
Do you understand what I am saying? If on a picket line and a scab is trying to come through and if I am certain that because of the exact circumstances if we bang he's going to get called for the foul then I am certainly going to hit as hard as I can and cause as much bodily damage/hurt as I can. Now I possibly MAY do that even if I know the "foul" gets called on me (if I get caught). See the difference? Why it's important to KNOW the rules.

Simply ignore, don't even bother responding to them.
