Just Stop Oil find themselves under more scrutiny after ignoring the pleas of a desperate mother while blocking traffic on a busy London street.
The parent got out of her car on Westway in Acton, London, telling the eco-zealots that her baby needed to go to hospital.
She told one individual: “I’ve got a baby in my car and we have to get to hospital.”
Despite her passionate appeals, the protesters refused to let her through, much to the dismay of her fellow motorists.
A second was heard shouting: “Who are you to decide who gets to go? You’re not f***ing God.
“People pay to be on these roads. Don’t tell me you’ve never got in a f***ing car.”
Just Stop Oil caused bedlam on London roads yesterday, with the group claiming they had 160 out in force.
They were met with backlash and even a counter group who held hands around the protesters, forcing them to remain stationary on the road in Elephant and Castle, south London.
The counter-protest group wore shirts mocking the eco-activists, saying: “Just Stop P***ing Everyone Off.”
Just Stop Oil have ramped up their controversial tactics in recent months, pledging to “paralyse” London.
