The “you have to drive what we want you to” out again

The SUV tyre deflation squad were active in Edinburgh again last night. I agree 99% city dwellers don’t need a massive SUV/4x4 in the city but it’s a free country - why do these idiots have to impose their will on others?

Why are they described as "activists" rather than "criminals"? They are committing criminal damage and could and should be prosecuted.

They even target EVs

Touch mine, I’ll deflate their lungs.

From one of the BBC articles:

“The most likely large SUV to be owned by a city driver is the Lexus NX300”

Aren’t they hybrid and mid size? 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Guessing it will require an additional vehicle to come out and help inflate the tyres, so adding more carbon to the atmosphere through moronic thinking.

Their ‘justification’ states that we should all be walking, cycling or using public transport. There is no arguing with these simpletons.
