M25 junctions blocked by Insulate Britain campaigners

Police make more than 40 arrests at a series of co-ordinated protests around the motorway.

Climate change protesters blocked five M25 junctions, causing long tailbacks and disruption for motorists.
There were protests at junctions 20 for Kings Langley, Herts, 14 for Heathrow terminal four, three for Swanley in Kent, six for Godstone, Surrey and 31 for Lakeside, Essex.
They have since been reopened but police said 42 people were arrested.
Protest group Insulate Britain tweeted it was "disrupting the M25" to "demand the government insulate Britain".
A government spokeswoman condemned the protests and said it was supporting people to install energy efficiency measures in their homes.
Hertfordshire Police said 18 people were arrested after officers were called to a protest near junction 20 at about 08:00 BST.
Supt Adam Willmot said: "Protesters ignored police requests to move location, so we took robust action to enable roads to be reopened and to remove the protesters causing obstructions."
The force closed the slip roads in both directions, which led to "congestion and delays on both the M25 and the A41", but the closures had lifted by 10:20 BST.

Essex Police said 12 people were arrested after it was called to reports that a number of people were blocking the road near junction 31 just before 08:15 BST.
It said officers worked to resolve the situation "quickly and safely", which included shutting the slip road temporarily.
Ch Insp Paul Austin said the action caused "significant disruption" and thanked drivers for their "patience and understanding."

And these pricks wonder why climate activist murder rates are going up!

I wonder how the UK cops would react with the same response time/action if like, 30 or so dudes blocked the road with signs saying "SORRY TO STOP YOU, BUT FUCK NIGGERS, RIGHT?"

I'm honestly curious how it would turn out.

They would probably call in the SAS.

They don't care about that. Tarquin and Jemima just want to feel special and tell the oiks what's best for them.

Tarquin and Jemima?

Is this some sort of Bri'ish slang, or is corn syrup teaming up with the Etruscans?

I can't imagine ever giving my child either name. They're both horrible for very different reasons.

But I also can't imagine thinking blocking people from getting to or from their jobs is somehow noble.

Protesters block M25 for the third time this week as police make swift arrests

Insulate Britain caused huge queues of traffic this week, with tens of thousands of drivers delayed after they blocked the roads on Monday and Wednesday during rush hour. It seems today's attempts have been swiftly dealt with by police.

I really despise these feckless stains.

As you say, the police did their job. At which point the wretched little shits are released pending sentencing and go out and do it again.
 
I miss the times when environment activists just collected trash off forest floors or dirty areas in cities. Then they just showed how much garbage they managed to collect and said "Wow guys, look at all this trash, please respect the environment, people wanna relax here blabla." and that was it. But that doesn't get you too much attention, unfortunately.

That was an actual productive use of their time and genuinely helped the environment, so of course they no longer want to do it.

When Captain Planet annoys me less than these absolute assholes it should be a warning sign.

Insulate Britain protester Dr Bing Jones said: "I accept that I put my life at risk. I don't really accept that we have put other lives at risk.
"I'm not worried about other people. I am a little bit worried about myself, my wife is very anxious about me."

Fuck you you selfish little shit of a human. Not only are you a member of Extinction Rebellion known for many similar protests, for the few people trying to claim Insulate are a different group on social media because they'd be fooled by Clark Kent's glasses, the fact that you do not accept you put other lives at risk by playing in fucking traffic is proof you're not fit to tell anyone what to do.

I can't even just casually hope you're run over because that'll traumatise some poor soul for life.

And one of the leaders went on to Good Morning Britain and made a complete arse of himself.

Fucking hell. That's...
That's the dumbest thing this week.

Regarding the injunction I'll believe it when they're in jail.

And the internet has given the man who sees himself as Churchhill what he deserves.

Here's his Twitter page.


The fact that the image was posted in their FB page in a post celebrating that the people arrested burnt, that's right burnt not recycled, their release papers is delicious.

The page also gave me this.
