Last Ever ‘Just Stop Oil’ Protest Tomorrow Marks Victory for Working Britain

Good to see the green-fingered environment hacks over at state-funded colossus the BBC have noticed the demise of Just Stop Oil. Guido noticed a month ago…

A “BBC in depth” piece from Justin Rowlatt looks ahead to the group’s ‘final protest’ tomorrow:

“The group’s official line is that they’ve won their battle because their demand that there should be no new oil and gas licences is now government policy. But privately members of JSO admit tough new powers brought in to police disruptive protests have made it almost impossible for groups like it to operate.” 

In short, the measures brought in by the Tories to clamp down on ambulance blockers and traffic disrupters worked. As did dragging them out of the road…

Rowlatt salivates: “But the end of JSO also raises some big questions, including if this is really the end of disruptive climate protest in the UK or whether being forced underground could spawn new, even more disruptive or chaotic climate action.” Either way, taxpayers will not be sorry to see the orange-vested back of JSO – its protests cost the Met Police alone almost £20 million in 2023. Odd that the Tories are so quiet on this one…
