Just Stop Oil block roads in London as protests resume

Just Stop Oil supporters stopped traffic on two key routes in London on Monday marking a resumption of protests after 18 days. At 8am, 13 protesters in hivis vests walked onto the road at Shepherds Bush Green in west London and marched slowly along the road, causing traffic delays. Police arrested two people for obstruction of the highway. Further action was in progress in Aldwych later on Monday morning. Police officers appeared to be accompanying a group of protesers as they proceeded slowly along the Strand, as the group continues to call for the government to halt all new oil and gas licences. The disruption follows reports over the weekend of a governmentdirected police crackdown on action by groups such as Just Stop Oil.
