Tensions flared on the 29th consecutive day of Just Stop Oil demonstrations in London, with fed-up commuters pleading with ‘pathetic’ activists to stop the chaos.
At about midday, 61 protesters marched through Charing Cross Road, Kensington High Street, Kennington Road and Blackfriars Road with banners, blocking traffic in both directions.
Some glued their hands to the tarmac while others locked on to one another – sparking concerns of traffic chaos.
At the Kennington demonstration, frustrated motorists dragged protesters off the road in an attempt to make enough room for traffic to flow freely.
‘This is f**king pathetic,’ one person said as he dragged people out of the way.
‘I’ve asked you nicely. There’s people trying to go about their business. For the last time, move.’
Another motorist threatened to ‘crack someone in their f**king face’ if they didn’t move out of the way of his car.
