Just as the number of households in fuel poverty doubled overnight, climate activists had the bright idea to target oil terminals across the midlands and south-east over the weekend. The activists, or as the Guardian calls them ‘clean energy campaigners’, sought to disrupt the supply and distribution of fuel, just in time for Easter as millions of people take to the motorways to get away.
The group responsible, Just Stop Oil, blockaded oil refineries in Warwickshire, Hertfordshire and Essex. In what is becoming as fashionable as it is stupid within the world of direct action, some decided to glue themselves to the road. Maybe they took advice from fellow Just Stop Oil activist Nathan McGovern, who decided to glue his own hand to a microphone during an LBC interview with Tom Swarbick.
