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."

Are we seriously letting about 15 tards block a whole road? this isnt even a proper demonstration or anything, i could get that many people together in like 5 minutes. The fact that the police arent immediatly taking them to put a (very quick easy and non violent) end to this is absurd
 
Tried to get through the swanley interchange, offered to scoop up the four old dears for the police and get the road moving. police standing there looking fucking useless until a female officer showed up. Fuckwits

most of the men were the beardy sandal type. best bit was the slow traffic crawl calling them cunts as they scootched by...
 
Huh, I was expecting Extinction Rebellion. So which rich, jet-setting tosser is responsible for spawning this band of naive college kids who think that being a massive nuisance is a great way to get a message across?

This was apparently an off-shoot of XR, so same tards, different package.
 
MANY PHENOMENA—wars, plagues, sudden audits—have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for Exhibit A.

Where they go wrong, of course, is in assuming that the wretched road is evil simply because of the incredible carnage and frustration it engenders every day.

In fact, very few people on the face of the planet know that the very shape of the M25 forms the sigil odegra in the language of the Black Priesthood of Ancient Mu, and means “Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds.” The thousands of motorists who daily fume their way around its serpentine lengths have the same effect as water on a prayer wheel, grinding out an endless fog of low-grade evil to pollute the metaphysical atmosphere for scores of miles around.

It was one of Crowley’s better achievements. It had taken years to achieve, and had involved three computer hacks, two break-ins, one minor bribery and, on one wet night when all else had failed, two hours in a squelchy field shifting the marker pegs a few but occultly incredibly significant meters. When Crowley had watched the first thirty-mile-long tailback he’d experienced the lovely warm feeling of a bad job well done.

It had earned him a commendation.

It does fit their goal of crippling fossil-fuel transportation networks. No point in having cars or trucks if all the roads are closed because of protestors.

That people will starve if this happens is hand-waved as impossible because of the "sustainable organic local agriculture" pipedream. Peasant subsistence farmers and wind turbines will lead us to the superior future.

It's all unworkable crackpot nonsense, but it is ideologically sound and an easy sell to crunchy urban lefties who see capitalism as humanity's greatest enemy.
 
Happened to witness this, absolute morons the whole lot of them. What good are they doing by stopping normal people from going to work?
 
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.
 
Fuckers. Saw some of the videos.

Oh for fuck's sake.
One protester, who wished to be known only as Stephanie, and who had glued herself to the road in Hertfordshire

She must have been sniffing the glue too to think that was going to work.
 
I don't know how this didn't end with 15 people in hospital. Try this on stretches of the M62 and they'd get their heads kicked in.

That's how. Soft Southerners.

Plus the protestors called the police first to act as bodyguards.

I'd legit love to see these bastards try this on the 602 or something, they'd be deaded before PC Plod got off his chair.

The police would have to move them on for their own safety.

I would love to see these softy southern posh kids try and block the 606 in to Bradford :story:

The fuck these muppets on about? You've been able to get DoE grants to insulate your house since the early fucking 80's. One of Maggie's pet projects, that.

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