Just Stop Oil: What is the campaign all about and what do they want?

Recently, more than 50 Just Stop Oil protesters were sent to jail in a single day this week after refusing to comply with court proceedings. The protesters, who appeared before judges in London and Birmingham, had broken an injunction to take part in a blockade of the Kingsbury oil terminal in Warwickshire.

Many of the protesters confirmed that they would continue to take action at the terminal if they were released on bail, despite an injunction prohibiting protests at the site still being in force. In order to prevent that, judges remanded 51 protesters in prison and are due to appear before the courts again next week.

This isn't the first time that the group has made headlines for its wild protests. Back in March, during a football match between Everton and Newcastle, a protester attached himself to the goal post with cable ties.
