HUNDREDS of activists blocked London’s Oxford Circus today to demand an arms embargo on Israel and for the incoming government to halt all new oil and gas licences.

Youth Demand, a new group linked to Just Stop Oil, gathered at Victoria Embankment Gardens, where they held a people’s assembly, before marching through central London.

The group reported that 21 arrests were made after they blocked Oxford Circus.
