Just Stop Oil activists block a petrol station

AT LEAST 31 climate protesters were arrested today after blocking access to petrol stations and sabotaging fuel pumps on the M25.

Just Stop Oil activists targeted Clacket Lane services eastbound and westbound in Kent, Cobham services in Surrey and Thurrock services in Essex by sitting on the road at entrances with banners.

Protesters broke the display glass of fuel pumps to make them unusable and sprayed them with paint.
