Eco protesters, Just Stop Oil, have blocked the main road outside Buckingham Palace, causing disruption in central London traffic for the tenth day in a row.
Extinction RebellionThe group travelled from Scotland to take part in more than a week of demonstrations against new oil and gas projects.
Emma Brown, one of the protesters, described the new licences as ‘literally a death sentence for all of us here and for all of you’. ‘They already understand what the Eton-educated government utterly fail to grasp: that oil extraction at all costs will destroy our only home. They say the new licences are key to ‘safeguarding’ the country’s supplies and supporting 70,000 jobs in Scotland.
