A Just Stop Oil protester who glued himself to the road to disrupt traffic called his guilty verdict "embarrassing" for the government.
Wirral man Benjamin Larsen, 25, was among six protesters yesterday found guilty of disrupting traffic near the Natural History Museum during a protest in central London. Larsen, Lora Johnson, 38, Ben Sansam, 38, Anna Retallack, 58, Stephen Jarvis, 66, and Rachel Payne, 71, were convicted of wilful obstruction of the highway following a two-day trial at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
They were among 17 people who sat across a busy dual carriageway causing traffic queues in both directions on October 19. It marked the 19th consecutive day of disruption by the campaign group.
