Extinction Rebellion looks set to heap yet more misery on the British public by today announcing plans to block major UK oil refineries and attempt to bring London to a standstill once again.
The campaign group said it intends to ‘stop the harm at the source’ as part of its campaign to force the Government to stop the fossil fuel economy. They’ll be joined by Just Stop Oil and a number of other groups, who are yet to be confirmed.
From April 9, it will then ‘flood’ the capital with activists and ‘create the most roadblocks we ever have’, with the eco mob vowing to be ‘disruptive and impossible to ignore’.
Today the RAC Foundation warned petrol prices could rise to an average of £1.60 a litre this week in the UK and £1.65 soon – but some petrol stations are already charging £1.89 a litre with £2 expected in days.
Extinction Rebellion’s announcement this morning will also be grim news for Londoners braced for yet more transport chaos after previous protests caused massive disruption.
