ACTIVISTS from Just Stop Oil (JSO) who disrupted the 2022 British Grand Prix, lost appeals against their convictions today.
In July 2022, the five activists staged a peaceful sit-in on the Formula 1 track at Silverstone, demanding that the then-Tory government stop issuing new fossil fuel licences, a move Labour has since followed through on since taking power.
Alasdair Gibson and Louis McKechnie, both 23, David Baldwin, 49, Emily Brocklebank, 26, and 31-year-old Joshua Smith were convicted of causing a public nuisance in February last year at Northampton Crown Court.
