'F*** off, every single one of you': Public clash with Just Stop Oil protesters in London

Police ordered a furious driver not to "assault" Just Stop Oil protesters as he dragged them off the road.

Around one hundred activists returned to five central London roads for more "slow marches" on Tuesday morning, their second road-blocking stunt in as many days, demanding that ministers scrap all new oil and gas licences.

But they were met with visible anger from some motorists, who ripped banners from them, loudly tooted horns, hurled expletives and attempted to push them off the road.

The Metropolitan Police again simply strolled alongside the group without intervening, after an attempt by the Home Secretary Suella Braverman to bring a crackdown was defeated in the House of Lords.

One driver stuck in the gridlock yelled at the group: "You're blocking an electric car!"

In another testy exchange, a driver ripped away the group's infamous orange banners while shouting "just go - people have got to go to work" and "f*** off, every single one of you". He then urged a lorry driver stuck at the front of the traffic jam to "just move your vehicle".
