#FreeLouis #FreeJosh #CivilResistance #A22Network #NoNewOil #EnoughIsEnough #COP27
💬 from a pub, Matt said: "The protest is over and the police are following us, it’s disproportionate and unnecessary.

"They followed us from one pub to another, what’s the point? They look exceptionally silly."

#ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #CostOfLivingCrisis #UK #M25
Shaun, 25, said: "We've just come to the pub for someone’s birthday and they’ve got two officers standing directly in front of the pub.

'There were vans with their lights flashing, parked in a bus lane, with about ten or so officers watching us.

'Literally four of us at a pub"

♻️ JUST STOP OIL GIVE MET POLICE THE RUN-AROUND

🦺 Yesterday, 13 #JustStopOil supporters were accompanied by at least 17 @metpoliceuk officers on a slow stroll through London. 30 strong, the odd pairing marched along the Strand to demand an end to all new oil and gas in the UK.
🚓 The Met even turned up with five patrol vans and proceeded to slowly drive the convoy behind the Just Stop Oil supporters along the entire route of the march, causing traffic delays.

🍻 A group of Just Stop Oil supporters then arrived at a Leicester Sq Spoons to celebrate a birthday — the officers posted up on the opposite side of the road to keep watch, reportedly ignoring calls to join in for a “cheeky one on the clock” from the Just Stop Oil supporters. Image

🦺 Jan Goodey, a 57-year-old #JustStopOil supporter from Brighton, was today sentenced to 6 months in prison for taking part in an action on the #M25 in November to demand an end to new oil and gas in the UK.

#FreeJan Image
🛣️ Jan was arrested after climbing a gantry at Junction 16 on November 7th — he appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today and was found guilty of causing a public nuisance. This was the first trial under this new statutory offence enacted under the PCSC Act 2022.
⚖️ The magistrate imposed a sentence of 9 months, which was reduced to 6 months as a result of a guilty plea. The magistrate spoke of wanting to use his sentencing as a “deterrent” against further disruption of ordinary people going about their “lawful business”

🚨 Hunger striking Just Stop Oil supporter remains in hospital wing:

🏥 A Just Stop Oil supporter who went on hunger strike to demand that the Govt end new oil & gas has been unexpectedly moved to the hospital wing as prison staff became increasingly concerned for their health.
🛣 Tez Burns (they/them), a 34-year-old bicycle mechanic from Swansea, was remanded to Bronzefield prison on Friday 11 November after being arrested for taking part in the actions to disrupt the #M25 motorway by climbing on the overhead gantries.

#FreeLouis #FreeJosh
🦺 They started an immediate hunger strike, which resulted in rapid weight loss and low blood sugar levels.

🔒 Tez was among a total of 65 people arrested as a result of the four consecutive days of actions by Just Stop Oil on the M25 last week…

"Sitting in HMP Peterborough on my 22nd birthday, I’d like to reflect on the year gone by. On my last birthday I was sent to HMP Thameside for my role in the Insulate Britain campaign. A lot has changed since then: the cost of living crisis and climate crisis have gotten worse...
...and government inaction is costing more lives by the day. More citizens than I can count have been imprisoned for resisting these “leaders” and COP27 has somehow achieved even less than COP26 last year.

You may have seen that @grantshapps (the man who toyed with putting number-plates on bicycles and is shortest serving Home Secretary in history) said we are "misguided".

This is our response.

"It’s hard to think of a government more misguided than the one that Grant Shapps is currently a member of, unless of course it’s the last one. The one that lasted weeks, that crashed the economy and put up bills for millions of already struggling families.
Shapps is now serving as Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, but when he was housing minister and transport minister – the massive carbon emissions, the harm from these sectors did not reduce. Shapps has been in and out of Government for 12 years.
