Just Stop Oil Plans to 'Blockade' Parliament for weeks in Spring Protests

[Social Media]

 

Environmental activist group Just Stop Oil has announced plans for a prolonged protest targeting Parliament this spring, pledging to blockade Westminster for weeks. The group, known for its disruptive tactics, aims to gather "thousands and thousands" of supporters to pressure the government into halting fossil fuel extraction and usage by 2030.

 

In a bold strategy, Just Stop Oil intends to overwhelm the legal system by orchestrating mass arrests to strain police resources and court capacities. An insider suggested that similar disruptions might extend to high-profile events like Wimbledon in 2025. The group is calling on its backers to financially support the operation, with monthly donations ranging from £8 to £500 to cover training, transportation, and supplies, including tools like super glue and D-locks.  

 

Critics have condemned the plans, labeling them extremist and a threat to public safety. Robert Jenrick, shadow justice spokesman, stated, “The country cannot be brought to heel by militant protesters. The Government must ensure law-breakers are served swift justice.” Tory MP Richard Holden echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of enforcing laws to prevent protests that "challenge democracy, cost the economy millions, and disrupt daily life."  

 

Security expert Anthony Glees from the University of Buckingham noted growing public frustration, saying, “Ordinary British people are sick to the back teeth of having their lives disrupted by organised groups of fanatics.”  

 

Despite the criticism, Just Stop Oil insists that its actions are rooted in non-violence. A spokesperson for the group declared, “It’s time to reclaim Parliament from the moneyed interests that have bought our politicians... non-violence is the core of what we do so we won’t be putting MPs in danger in any way.”  

 

The announcement was made during a six-hour event in Birmingham, where activists read poems written by jailed members and shared "stories of resilience." The group, which has seen many of its leaders incarcerated recently, appears to be rallying its supporters for a renewed wave of civil disobedience.  

 

The planned protests underscore the growing tension between environmental activists and authorities, as Just Stop Oil prepares for what could become one of its most significant campaigns to date.

When these idiots glue themseves to roads and buildings i would leave them stuck  there for at least a week before arresting them

Do these people even know who the worlds polluters are? I doubt it and Its certainly not UK:

Should give Parliamentarians a chance for a well earned rest.

 

It's hard work being a Labour MP.

 

[James105]

We have Ed Milliband making great strides to make the UK poorer, destroy businesses and make energy the most expensive on the planet and is also spaffing £22bn on pointless carbon capture and £13bn on overseas corruption climate aid in the name of this scam.

 

It's the equivalent of men in Afghanistan glueing themselves to goats and holding up banners saying "Just stop women's rights".

This certainly sums up my opinion of these loons - perhaps detention and depriving them of anything that oil was used to produce would enlighten them.

Of course they'd have to discard that sign, go naked and stop eating

Don't those Idiots know that if we stop Oil  Today or next year the world will come to a Stop  and  Die.

The government should build a new jail especially for them and put them away for life .

Just ban their access to anything that relies upon liquid hydrocarbons...  including transport, sterile bandages, syringes etc.

 

Any active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) which are synthesised using petrochemicals such as:

Acetylsalicylic Acid (Found in aspirin), Paracetamol, Antihistamines, Antibiotics (Some antibiotics are synthesised with petrochemical-derived intermediates), Anaesthetics (Both local and general anaesthetics often involve petrochemical inputs).....

 

The stupidity of the 'just stop oil protestors' is beyond belief...

The Conservative government spent a staggering £50 million on flights intended for deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda, despite no flights ever leaving the ground. This expenditure was part of a broader £715 million invested over two years to implement the controversial Rwanda asylum scheme, according to newly released Home Office documents. The scheme was ultimately dismantled by the Labour government following its election victory in July.  

 

The £50 million cost encompassed preparations such as securing flights, hiring escorts to transport migrants, and ensuring airfield readiness. Additionally, £290 million was paid directly to Rwanda’s government, £95 million was spent on constructing detention and reception centers, and £280 million covered IT, staffing, and legal fees.  

 

Seems like a fortuitous situation...  Flights booked , Rwanda's on board and already been paid.  Facilities already built...

So long as this jail does not rely on anything produced or delivered using oil of course.  So no clothes, food delivery would be out of course, no phones, no heating.  "Life" in this case would be one or 2 weeks before they perish.

But sadly, The UK is one of the places they can get away with these disruptions. China would arrest them and let them rot in jail.

[herfiehandbag]

Leave them in place, clearing only essential active routes.

 

Obviously, to ensure that they don't become dehydrated, and to help with personal hygiene they should be hosed down daily.

[RichardColeman]

No problem , just give then 3 years each per protest arrest
