Alyson Lee, 64 from Derby said;
“As soon as the opportunity arises I will be back out there doing what I can to force the government to act appropriately in this crisis. This awful surreal situation demands a lot more than usual protest – it demands #CivilResistance.” 🧵 Image
Christian Murray-Leslie, 79, a retired Doctor from Derbyshire said;
“I believe we had overwhelming moral justification for our actions & so I cannot possibly regret or apologise. I am at peace with my conscience & believe history will judge me to have done the right thing..." 🧵 Image
David Nixon, 36, a care worker from Barnsley;

"I will continue to take action that may lead to my arrest & potential imprisonment. I am justified in doing this as we are facing an existential threat to humanity, & our government is actively making things worse. It’s abhorrent." Image

During yesterday's trial, Stephanie Aylett, 28, from St Albans, was charged with contempt of court by Judge Reid for disobeying his ruling against referring to the climate crisis, insulation or fuel poverty during her defence.
🧵
#InsulateBritain #FuelPoverty #CostOfLivingCrisis
“I'm deeply disappointed that the court system is complicit in criminalising peaceful protest. It horrified me that Judge Reid deliberately stripped away all our legal defences and told us that we would be in contempt of court if we spoke about our motivations, strategy or aims.
He prevented us from mentioning climate change or talking about any scientific evidence.

“It's likely I will now go to prison, because I spoke the truth to our jury. It is incredibly difficult to explain the actions we took without mention to why we did such a bizarre thing.

“Today is the fifth day I have refused to eat and I will continue to do so until the government issues a meaningful statement to get on with the job of insulating Britain’s leaky homes”
