M25 junctions blocked by Insulate Britain campaigners

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."

Blocking ambulances now. Maybe they'll take another cue from their melanated brethren and start twerking on the damn thing.
 
If hitting them is illegal, just reverse your car up to them and blast the revs. Bonus points if you have a wanked up car.

Or, blast your horn right in their faces. Bonus points if you have a wanked up car with a track horn.

Where are the boy racers when you need them?
 
Another injunction has been taken out against Insulate Britain, this time banning them from blocking any major road in England.

Unfortunately not the summary judgement GB news had confirmed Highways Agency might be going for. That we're at the stage of an injunction this wide ranging gives me some hope though.

That said they've all but guaranteed the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Bill will be put into place. Turbo charged cunts.

It's a good idea to keep a can of duster in your car in case you encounter one of these protests. Their faces might be dusty and in need of cleaning, definitely make sure the can is right side up.

Is petrol too expensive over there to consider just pouring it on them instead of ink?

Yes and that would also class as threatening behaviour.

The Ink dude is a bit suspicious if I'm honest. He just walked up, with ink, sprayed a couple of them with no reaction from the protesters, then sauntered off down the path afterwards. He seems a bit plant-ish if I'm honest...
