Just Stop Oil’s final stunt prior to the holiday season is a slow march in Finsbury Park

After a year of attention-grabbing pranks, Just Stop Oil’s final demonstration before Christmas is a “slow march” across north London.

The group of 17 individuals left Finsbury Park by Manor House station at approximately 7:30 a.m., wearing beanies, scarves, and gloves.

They carried banners given by Just Stop Oil and trudged through the street at a snail’s pace, bringing northbound traffic to a complete halt.

Despite two arrests on the first day of the slow marches, the group told demonstrators that the activity was lawful in order to encourage them to join the cause.

They carried banners given by Just Stop Oil and trudged painfully slowly through the roadway, bringing northbound traffic to a grinding halt behind them.

A spokeswoman also disclosed that this would be the last slow march before Christmas, prompting some to criticize the participants for ‘wanting to stay warm’ and avoiding subzero weather.

The group is opposed to the proposed Cumbrian coalmine, which would increase carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 400 thousand tonnes per year but create up to 500 new jobs.

Sheila Shatford, a 67-year-old grandmother and former nurse from Bristol, stated that she felt the ‘urge to stand alongside all the courageous young people… to prevent the wanton destruction of their future.’

“Shame on you, Mr. Sunak, for permitting your government to support oil and gas expansion and for permitting a new coal mine that nobody wants or needs.

“You should be ashamed for demonizing peaceful people. You can ban us, insult us, and lock us up, but we will not be stopped. We will not participate in the destruction of all that we hold dear.’

The group opposes the proposed Cumbrian coalmine, which would boost annual carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 400,000 tonnes but create up to 500 new jobs.

Ms. Shatford had previously served 13 days in prison for her work with Just Stop Oil.

Peter Smith, age 30, from Harringey, London, remarked, “The harsh reality is frightening.” If we continue on the current path, there is no hope for the future.

“We face poverty, suffering, and the loss of everything we cherish.” Normal individuals must take a position and aid Just Stop Oil in halting the issuance of new fossil fuel licenses and advancing toward a sustainable future.’

Planner Ludi Simpson, 69, from Shipley, Yorkshire, who is now retired, stated:

“I fear for the future of my children. My actions are motivated by both my heart and mind. I am confident that politicians can do the right thing if they consider the facts. Their inactivity is consuming our life.’

The current action follows months of constant disruptions that have infuriated the public, resulting in traffic closures and chaos on the streets.

Despite two arrests on the first day of the slow marches, the group reassured protesters that the action was lawful in order to encourage their participation.

Over 700 arrests were made throughout the months of October and November, and over 2,000 Just Stop Oil activists have been arrested since April 1.

According to a statement from the organization, approximately 24 supporters remain in prison.

A spokeswoman stated, ‘Just Stop Oil continues to fight peacefully the government’s intentions to license over 100 new oil and gas projects by 2025, as well as its failure to keep its commitment to help people with their soaring energy costs.

By continuing to promote additional oil and gas development, they are implicated in the deaths of millions and contributing to the disintegration of the ordered society that enables democracy to work.

As part of a vow to alter present energy rules, HSBC announced earlier today that it will no longer lend money or capital to new oil and gas projects.

Given the global energy crisis, the British bank stated that it will continue to support natural gas projects that are already in the pipeline, but that it will align itself with the net zero by 2050 or earlier goals of the Paris Agreement.
