Climate activists block Downing Street in protest against North Sea oil drilling project
A police officer speaks to one of the campaigners from Greenpeace outside Downing Street, London, during a protest against the Cambo oil field off the west coast of Shetland
CLIMATE activists closed off the main entrance to Downing Street today in protest against the proposed Cambo oil drilling project in the North Sea.
Greenpeace led the protest of about 40 people, with 16 locked onto barrels and a giant oil-splattered statue of Prime Minister Boris Johnson that was placed in the middle of the road, while others held banners reading “Boris: Stop Cambo.”
The 90kg statue, created by artist Hugo Farmer, was accompanied by a sign reading: “Cambo oilfield: Boris Johnson’s monumental climate failure,” and its hands were completely covered in black oil.
