Just Stop Oil protesters are drenched in water by furious Londoner after beginning another protest

This is the moment Just Stop Oil protesters were drenched in water by a furious Londoner on a balcony during yet another traffic halting protest in the capital. 

The eco zealots were seen walking in the middle of a busy road in Camden this morning during rush hour. 

Footage shows them dawdling along with signs as frustrated vans and buses honk their horns behind them. 

The protestors are then sprayed with water from an upstairs balcony, after which the camera tilts to the thrower who is seen shouting and pointing at the activists below. 

Meanwhile the zealots try to look unfazed as they hold signs adorned with messages such as ‘For My Family’ and ‘I Won’t Die Quietly’. 

Several spectators are seen crowded around the protestors, capturing the chaos on their phones. 

One of those on the road this morning, Ru Kenyon, 44, a teacher from London, said:

‘I’m 45 years old and the climate crisis has defined the whole of my adult life. My heart breaks for how it must feel for young people today to understand what’s happening. 

‘We could turn this situation around, if we come together as a global community and treat it like the emergency that it is.

‘If I could speak to the Prime Minister I’d tell him he needs to get out of the way quite frankly, along with the entire corrupt establishment, and let the young get on with dealing with this crisis. But he may as well make amends first by announcing the end of all new fossil fuel licences in this country.’ 

Another of those taking action this morning, Paul Bleach, a gardener and fulltime carer from Portsmouth, said: ‘We are marching in the road because sadly all other forms of dissent are ignored.

‘Citizens are being denied sufficient information and support by our corrupt government and the media. This is the mother of all humanitarian problems, there is no, and will never be, a bigger crisis. Where the h*** is the sense of urgency from global governments?’

Today’s protest comes just days after Just Stop Oil protestors even proved unpopular with children, as pupils were seen reprimanding slow-marchers for making them late for lessons. 

Eco campaigners dressed in orange selected Stratford, east London, and Ealing, west London, for their predictable street shuffle on Monday. 

One motorist, who the campaigners explained their cause to, seemed fairly unimpressed, saying: ‘I don’t give a f***, get out of the way.’ 

Yesterday Just Stop Oil marchers took to London’s Hammersmith Road but were moved on by police just ten minutes later. 

Motorists and members of the public fatigued by the campaigners’ antics phoned the police immediately after they were spotted at 8.09am.

Officers scrambled to the scene and arrived within four minutes to come face to face with the zealots. 

Two minutes later the force issued a Section 12 condition was issued on the stretch making it an arrestable offence to say in the road.

By 8.19am – just ten minutes after the protest started – the campaigners were moved on and the street cleared – meaning they were only able to promote their cause for ten minutes. 

The campaign group wants an end to new fossil fuel projects, yet have so far failed to target any of the countries who are the worst environmental offenders. 

One person on the road yesterday, Linda Lancaster, a grandmother of three from Bognor said: ‘I am marching this morning out of concern for my grandchildren. Rishi Sunak thinks that he can licence over 100 new fossil fuel projects, destroying not only my grandchildren’s futures, but his own daughters’ futures as well.

‘The scientists are telling us, there can be no new oil, gas and coal projects if we want to survive. Even the oil company scientists were saying it decades ago!’

Just Stop Oil say it is going to be carrying out the same tactics and actions forever unless the government and multi-national corporations cave in to their demands.
