[Insulate Britain]

FOUR Insulate Britain activists were acquitted at Woolwich Crown Court on Tuesday for protesting on the M25. 

Activists demanding that the government insulate Britain’s cold and leaky homes took part in a roadblock near Heathrow in September 2021. 

Emily Brocklebank, Ruth Cook, Ana Heyatawin and Iain Webb were then put on trial for causing a “public nuisance.”
