Police follow orders. For example, it's pretty obvious that in London they've been ordered by the powers that be to be very lenient to Just Stop Oil when they block roads over and over and over again. Meanwhile, also in the UK, a lone anti-abortion campaigner has been arrested on more than one occasion for silent prayer outside an abortion clinic. Under normal circumstances, it seems reasonable to limit protest in locations where patients visiting the clinic could be directly harassed, but at the same time, other protesters are permitted to repeatedly cause traffic chaos all over London, and are disrupting major events with no indication of any particularly harsh consequences.
