Disturbing scenes of campaigners being pushed, dragged and soaked during their demonstrations have been circulating on social media as tensions grow.
A number of Just Stop Oil protests have been interrupted by members of the public taking matters into their own hands. A demonstration at Chelsea Flower Show this week saw three campaigners soaked as a gardener aimed her hose at them.
There have also been several incidents in the capital, where angry commuters have pulled people off the road and in one case, even hit someone. Discussing the recent incidents, TV presenter Gary Lineker talked to Channel 4 News and said history has taught us that effective demonstrations have to be disruptive.
