“I’m trying to get a baby to the hospital!”
The Just Stop Oil protesters have been wreaking havoc in London for days, but they reached the headlines on Tuesday when they blocked streets in West London.The London TimesMore than 30 activists in high-visibility vests walked on to roads in Knightsbridge and refused to move until the government agreed to halt all new fossil fuel projects. They gathered at 10am and unveiled large orange banners before sitting in front of cars, vans and buses. Some glued themselves to the tarmac.
The demonstration came hours after the group issued a warning to the Metropolitan Police, saying: “We are going to continue escalating our actions until our demand of no new oil and gas is met.” It was the 11th consecutive day of disruption caused by the group’s supporters since it launched a campaign to bring parts of the capital to a standstill.Another said, “Somebody is sick! Get off the road, let her through and then get back on the road. She is unwell. Are you guys silly?”The person put the protester in their place: “No, they’ve got a passenger in their car who is sick . . . You haven’t got a clue what you’re doing.”Videos show fire trucks and ambulances.
An ambulance responding to an emergency, had to reverse and find another way and just stop oil protestors blocked the road.
