Eco-protesters have hit London again, with 42 supporters of the Just Stop Oil group "slow walking" on roads and bringing parts of the capital to a standstill on Friday morning.The four groups struck on Friday morning marching through the City, and south, east and west London, as part of their continued campaign to demand that the UK government halt all licences and consents for new oil, gas and coal projects.
The groups marched on Borough High Street and Newington Causeway in Southwark, Princes Street in the City, Warwick Road and High Street Kensington in west London, Piccadilly in the West End and St James' Street near Buckingham Palace, and West India Dock in Canary Wharf. The Met Police were quickly on the scene with the force tweeting their officers were engaging with the protesters.A protester being arrested on Thursday.One of those on the road, Jessica Upton, 53, a veterinary surgeon, foster carer and mum of two, from Oxfordshire said: “I’m a vet, foster carer and mum. I do not stop caring in my time off, so I’m in the road to get our government’s attention.
"They need to step up and do what’s right and stop issuing any new fossil fuel licences. The United Nations agrees with me on this! "I’m on the road and I'm frightened, but it beats being at home doing nothing. The solutions ARE out there to ensure jobs, clean energy and prosperity for all, but our corrupt government seems to be blind to them."
