Just Stop Oil protestors charged following second day of M25 blockade

On Monday, Just Stop Oil members also scaled highway furniture. 24 individuals have been charged about the Monday and Tuesday protests.

Eight individuals have been charged for Just Stop Oil’s second day of disruption on the M25.

Tuesday at 7:00 a.m., the climate change group blocked the freeway by climbing onto gantries “at various spots.”

Roger Hallam, 56, Tim Hewes, 72, Daniel Shaw, 36, Christopher White, 29, Karen Matthews, 60, Ian Bates, 63, Alexander Wilcox, 21, and Louise Lancaster, 57, were later charged with conspiracy to produce a public nuisance before Westminster Magistrates Court.

On Monday, fourteen others were charged about the demonstrations that occurred earlier that day.

Essex Police said that a demonstrator scaled the gantry at junction 31, closing the Dartford Tunnel, and was subsequently apprehended.

Kent Police reported that two protesters were detained at junction 1b (Dartford). Other forces reported that the motorway was also affected by congestion at Epping, Cheshunt, Kings Langley, Reigate, Leatherhead, Chertsey, Staines, and Slough.

Just Stop Oil is requesting that no new fossil fuel licenses be issued in the North Sea.

According to many environmental experts, the group’s tactics are more divisive than they are beneficial to the overall cause.

Charlotte Kirin, a 53-year-old social worker from Bury St. Edmunds, was one of the participants in Tuesday’s protest.

She stated that she would not “turn her back on people whose lives are being ruined for the profit of wealthy men.”

Edred Whittingham, a 25-year-old student from Cambridge who was also involved, stated, “This country’s politics are flawed, and it is up to the average citizen to solve it.

Since April, when Just Stop Oil began organizing rallies, 2,000 people have been arrested, and five are still in jail.
