Insulate Britain protesters have once again blocked major roads connecting to the M25 despite a new court injunction.
Demonstrators from the environmental group obstructed the A40, which connects with the M40 and M25, in west London during rush hour on Wednesday.
Kent Police arrested 14 protesters blocking the A206 at Crossways Boulevard in Dartford. Traffic is flowing on the road in both directions.
There are currently four court injunctions in place against the group but this once again mocks these.
The Department for Transport said the injunctions cover the “entire strategic road network”.
“We are concerned with fulfilling our duties and responsibilities at this ‘period of consequence’.
“Starting from 07.00 BST on the morning of Wednesday 27 October, the M25 will become a place of non-violent civil resistance to stop our government committing crimes against humanity.”
Suzie, 47, a protester from Cambridge, who works in childcare, said:
“If going to prison and losing my home is what it takes to get the government to do the right thing and cut our carbon emissions, then it’s a price worth paying.
I can’t be a bystander while this government betrays the public, our children and future generations by failing to defend our country from the climate crisis.”
