    Did any of them comment on the reason for the protest, or just the act itself?

    Pro-tip: if you have questions raised by an article’s headlines, read the article.

    “Just Stop Oil said the motivation behind the incident was to demand the next UK government end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030.”

      Pro Tip: Don’t be a cunt. Perhaps my wording was ambiguous, I am aware of the reason for the protest and the content of the article, my point is that the politicians have not commented on the reasons and deflected the topic to the protest itself.

      In what way does that quote answer their question?

        It depends on which “them” is being referred to in OP’s comment. Assuming “them” are the protesters, then the answer provides what the protesters said, or at least what the organisation they represented said.

          Assuming “them” are the protesters

          Why would you assume that? It was obviously asking about what comment the politicians have made, from the fact that they were asking about whether “they” had commented “on the reason for the protest, or just the act”.

              Yes, it’s very easy to make a bad faith argument if you just randomly pull quotes, rather than actually looking at context.
