This is the moment a van driver begs eco-zealots from Just Stop Oil to just let him past after they began to slow march outside Parliament this morning.
The video, which was filmed outside the Palace of Westminster shows a horde of activists opening up placards in the street and beginning to trudge down the road.
After begging with the protesters to leave the road and let him by, the van driver is seen being approached and spoken to by a member of the group, who condescendingly tells him they have ‘no choice’ but to act.
As the group walk down the road, a chorus of car horns can be heard being tooted as the traffic along the busy Central London road ground to a halt. Police have since confirmed they have made 15 arrests.
It’s the first incident of the campaign group’s planned three weeks of action across London which they claim will cause disruption on an ‘unprecedented scale.’
Just Stop Oil have began to slow march in Westminster this morning
The group has vowed to march for three weeks and cause ‘unprecedented disruption’ to London
The Met has vowed to ‘use all available powers’ as part of its policing response to Just Stop Oil protestors ‘to allow Londoners to continue their daily business’ during the group’s protests.
It has also written to members of the group ahead of its new campaign of protests later this month, asking to work together to ‘ensure any protest activity is lawful’.
As of last week, the Met said it had not yet received a response.
Speaking on today’s action, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Officers arrived within four minutes of receiving the initial report.
‘We have put in a Section Seven. Officers are continuing to make arrests under Section Seven of the Public Order Act. There have been 15 arrests made.
‘The road is cleared and traffic is beginning to move freely.’
