βοΈπA grandmother jailed for her role in disruptive protests is now pursuing legal action after being released early because authorities couldnβt find an electronic tag that fit her wrist.
You really couldnβt make it up.
The courts jailed her.
The government released her.
The government couldnβt find a suitable tag.
The government sent her back.
The government may now face legal action because of the governmentβs own mistake.
At this point, the British state appears to be arguing with itself while taxpayers fund both sides.
π§ Meanwhile, Everyone Else Sat In Traffic π§
Many people remember the original protests for a different reason.
Thousands of motorists were stuck for hours while police and emergency services worked through risk assessments and extraction plans.
Workers missed appointments.
Families missed events.
Businesses lost time.
Yet years later, the focus has shifted from motorway disruption to whether a wristband was the correct size.
Only Britain could turn a major protest into a national debate about tagging equipment.
π΄ Imagine If It Had Been An England Flag π΄
One detail often overlooked is that the flag being raised wasnβt an England flagβit was a Just Stop Oil flag.
Imagine the reaction if someone had climbed onto a motorway gantry and unfurled a giant St Georgeβs Cross instead.
The headlines would last for weeks.
Social media would melt down before lunch.
Politicians would be demanding inquiries before the protester even climbed down.
π· Guess Who Pays? π·
The taxpayer funded the policing.
The taxpayer funded the courts.
The taxpayer funded the prison sentence.
The taxpayer funded the tagging system.
And if legal action succeeds, the taxpayer may end up funding the consequences too.
Itβs the perfect British circle.
Government failure followed by a taxpayer-funded solution to the governmentβs failure.
π₯ Challenges π₯
Whatβs the most absurd part of this story?
The protest?
The motorway disruption?
The missing tag?
Or the possibility that taxpayers end up paying for every stage of the saga?
