Just Stop Oil protesters hae blocked off The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace in London this morning. Around 30 activists started sitting on the road at 8.45am wearing orange high-visibility jackets and holding Just Stop Oil banners.
Emma Brown, 31, who lives in Glasgow and is one of the Just Stop Oil protestors currently blocking The Mall, said that the activists “would walk 500 miles” to “just stop oil”.
Ms Brown said that the protesters had come down from Scotland and that this was her first demonstration. She said: “We’ve come down because the Government is pressing ahead with over 100 new fossil fuel licences.
