It depends. While I don't say he was right, Many activists like "last generation" in Poland won't be persecuted more than few hours of social work for blocking hours long whole street including emergency ambulance. The activits group is actually using subsidized big flat at the city center of Warsaw and Warsaw governor doesn't care about this. There are double standards by current "good ( by EU ) government in Poland". There is a clear bias ( i wont say what side ) represented in most governments of EU
I don't really see how Poland (or the EU) are relevant to UK judges enforcing UK laws.
If what you're saying is right, that sounds pretty crazy, though. Purposely blocking emergency services, not caring if it kills people, should not be 3 hours of community service. That's fucking insane.
