Just Stop Oil protesters disrupt life in the UK:
The UK environmental activist group's sole purpose is to get their government to commit to ending new fossil fuel licensing and production. Their members use civil resistance, direct action and vandalism to get their message across.
In the process, they intentionally inconvenience the public. All I can say is they're doing a wonderful job of turning the public against them.
You would be forgiven for thinking the orange-clad eco-zealots are full-time protesters because they are out on the streets with increasing regularity and snowballing frequency. The fact is they are backed by wealthy donors.
Millionaire Dale Vince, the owner of Ecotricity and Forest Green Rovers Football Club is one of them. In May, he vowed to double any donations made to the environmentalists over a 48-hour fundraising bonanza and he ended up handing over £170,000 to Just Stop Oil.
Another is Los Angeles, US-based Climate Emergency Fund. Last year, CEF gave Just Stop Oil the main share of the £500,000 they donated to climate groups in the UK. Extinction Rebellion received £150,000.
