A UK climate activist group, Just Stop Oil, has been causing chaos in London for weeks. The group’s demands include a stop to all new oil, gas and coal projects in the UK, as well as protesting the government’s decision to grant 100 new licenses in the North Sea for oil and gas. Their tactics include disrupting traffic and causing inconvenience to motorists. However, their latest protest has caused a stir on social media after a video was posted showing an alleged collision between a driver and a protestor. The police are now investigating the incident.

The video, which was posted by the activist group on Tuesday, shows a driver slowly pushing through a protest blockade set up by the group. One protestor refused to move from the road, and the driver inched forward, causing the protestor to fall to the ground. Other protestors can be heard shouting that the driver drove over her foot. UK police are investigating the incident to determine if anyone was injured. The group has received backlash on social media, with some individuals claiming that the protestor was faking their injury.

A social media user screenshotted the “victim” who claimed to have been rammed, tweeting, “Just got run over by a car but look at the smile on the face. Don’t make me laugh.”

This is not the first time Just Stop Oil has caused chaos in London. Earlier this week, a frustrated driver was caught on video taking banners from protestors who were blocking the street. The driver can be heard saying, “I need to go to work. I’m going to be late today. What do you want me to do?”

Just Stop Oil has been holding marches around London since April 24, disrupting traffic to demand action on climate change. The group’s demands include a stop to all new oil, gas and coal projects in the UK, as well as protesting the government’s decision to grant 100 new licenses in the North Sea for oil and gas. The group claims that these projects are damaging the environment and contributing to climate change.

The UK is currently facing a dilemma between climate activists’ demands and the needs of its citizens. Just Stop Oil’s protestors have obviously caused chaos on London streets, and the alleged incident with the drivers has sparked one-sided controversy. The police may still be investigating some matters to determine if anyone was injured. However, at some point these people will have to be removed for disrupting the peace. Law abiding citizens with lives can not be blamed for the dangerous situations these protesters are putting themselves in.
