Insulate Britain protestors want the Conservative government to insulate 'all of Britain's 29 million leaky homes by 2030, and all social housing by 2025.'
Hoping to pressure the British government to insulate all homes within a decade, environmental protestors created roadblocks along London's major ring road on Monday.
Insulate Britain says it wants the Conservative government to insulate"all of Britain's 29 million leaky homes by 2030, and all social housing by 2025." The policy is a response to rapidly progressing climate change. In an open letter to Britain's interior minister, Priti Patel, the activist group said it wanted to"profoundly apologize for the disruption" and offered to call off the campaign if the government opened up a dialogue.
"We are taking powers to be able to remove protesters when they are threatening critical national infrastructure, when they are threatening to cause serious economic damage and I think that is entirely right," Prime Ministertold reporters Sunday on the RAF Voyager while heading to New York for the U.N. General Assembly.
