Insulate Britain: Protesters block M25 junction in Essex - 35 of them are arrested

Police have arrested 35 Insulate Britain protesters in two locations including another junction on the M25.
Essex Police said it detained 16 people after officers were called to a slip road at junction 31 for Thurrock, near the Dartford Crossing, just after 08:25 BST.
It was then called to reports of people blocking Stonehouse Lane, Purfleet, where 19 people were arrested.
The force said all the affected roads had been reopened.
It has thanked the public for its "patience and understanding", a spokesman said.

The M25 slip road blockage forced multiple vehicles including HGVs to stop and turn round, causing clashes between protesters and angry motorists.
It is the 13th day of protests by the group in the past five weeks.
Insulate Britain said about 40 people were at junction 31 and at the nearby A1090 London Road, near the Dartford Crossing.

The protest group, which has been regularly blocking highways since 13 September, has been calling for the installation of heat-saving measures in social housing by 2025, and all homes by 2030.
It has admitted its latest action is "in breach" of an injunction obtained by the government last month.
A spokesman, Liam Norton, said: "In 10 years' time when fuel crises are catastrophic, when the food has run out and when people are experiencing unsurvivable heatwaves, what would you be wishing you had done now?"
The government has said it was investing £1.3bn to support people to install energy efficiency measures.

On Thursday, 35 protesters were arrested after blocking Old Street roundabout in central London and junction 25 of the London orbital motorway at Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire.
On 5 October, drivers clashed with protesters at the entrance to the Blackwall Tunnel, which goes under the Thames to the east of the Isle of Dogs, and 38 people were arrested.

 
Nice, an opportunity for London drivers to test their cars' front impact rating.

Protested the politicians and business leaders who can actually fucking do something about it, instead of alienating the masses?

Kind of starting to think they are paid by those companies to do this, cause damage to these green movements. Would explain how they haven't learned this is such a dumb idea and how it's making everyone hate them.

BINGO.
Burning fuel while sitting traffic isn't the best message either. And it's not about the environment anyway. Mention immigration, manufacturing overseas, India, China etc and woke trumps Mother Nature every time.

The same MO has been used for decades with any pro or defense of Whites movement aka "White Nationalism".

Let's remind ourselves...


Dump a couple of skips, blocking the road he lives on, see how long his neighbours put up with him.
 
Good. Either start cracking down on these bozos or give us the right to crack them down ourselves.

I'm shocked those protestors didn't scream bloody murder when the people got out of their cars and dragged them off the road. They looked like straight up zombies
 
If global warming is a thing and is going to be as "catastrophic" and "unsurvivable" as these people say..... why do we need MORE insulation in our homes?
I mean global warming is a thing, not sure why you don't believe it is but that is another talk.

But to get to your second point, it is because the UK is a country that gets very cold in the winter and thus people use heating to keep their houses warm, more and better insulation would lower the need for using heat systems.

So what they are asking for, isn't crazy (however far better ways to tackle global warming), just the way they are going about it is self defenting.
