Who are Just Stop Oil? Where the controversial climate protesters began
Damien Gayle, a Guardian environment correspondent, follows a group of climate activists as they try to paralyse the UK’s fossil fuel distribution network.
We film with him as the protesters break into oil terminals, glue themselves to the road, climb onboard oil tankers and let down their tyres. The campaign, called Just Stop Oil, argues the UK has three years to slash its carbon emissions. They have been met with arrests, injunctions and condemnation from politicians – with the government using the Queen’s speech to announce curbs on disruptive protests. But with deep-pocketed supporters, and claims they are signing new volunteers every day, they are vowing to continue.
