'F*** off, every single one of you': Public clash with Just Stop Oil protesters in London

Police ordered a furious driver not to "assault" Just Stop Oil protesters as he dragged them off the road.
Around one hundred activists returned to five central London roads for more "slow marches" on Tuesday morning, their second road-blocking stunt in as many days, demanding that ministers scrap all new oil and gas licences.
But they were met with visible anger from some motorists, who ripped banners from them, loudly tooted horns, hurled expletives and attempted to push them off the road.
The Metropolitan Police again simply strolled alongside the group without intervening, after an attempt by the Home Secretary Suella Braverman to bring a crackdown was defeated in the House of Lords.
One driver stuck in the gridlock yelled at the group: "You're blocking an electric car!"
In another testy exchange, a driver ripped away the group's infamous orange banners while shouting "just go - people have got to go to work" and "f*** off, every single one of you". He then urged a lorry driver stuck at the front of the traffic jam to "just move your vehicle".

This is becoming my fav thing to watch. Keep up the seires.

[@formicapple2]

Once again the police are encouraging this criminal behaviour of these protesters. Those HGVs are on a tachograph and don’t have the time to waste.

Just stick it on break and go for lunch. Come back in 3 hours 🤣🤷‍♂️

Then the truck would be causing an obstruction, so either way they are coercing crimes to happen... which is another crime they are doing... @@sercanserj7804

If they say the drivers can't remove 'assault ' them then why don't the cops remove them and if they come back arrest them?

[@carolallie335]

Blocking traffic is a crime

[@bobyoung9509]

Are our so-called police a bunch of flankers, or what ?! It's embarrassing to watch the creeps !

[@williamanthonychambers1304]

These people who don’t work stopping people trying to get to their work should be a criminal offence. Disgusting.

[@TheZodiacz]

that is their job. the WEF pay for this to help towards their reset.

[@jaywan5553]

Imagine the extra emissions being put out due to idling traffic.

[@user-ky7pb7ol8f]

These are absolutely USELESS cops. They must go.

[@JamezGamez1]

The police are such an incompetant force, standing about, honestly

[@adamquirke6024]

They've been made useless by politicians

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

Bunch of numpties, imagine if that had been an ambulance they were holding up

[@pollyparrot8759]

It has happened and the woman inside died of a stroke.... there was a good chance she would have survived if her ambulance had got through. To be clear this was one of their motorway protests not central London but I doubt they would behave any better here.
