Spilling milk in supermarkets and throwing Heinz tomato soup at Van Gogh paintings is one thing, but blocking major roads and motorways and ruining people’s days/lives in the process is quite another. One guy got so fed up with it last night that he turned up at Dartford Crossing and blasted the Just Stop Oil protesters in attendance with some fireworks.
Watch below:
I wondered why I could hear random fireworks last night, Somebody has shot fireworks at the @JustStop_Oil protestors atop Dartford Bridge.

Two of the protestors had sparked chaos on the roads in Essex earlier when they climbed all the way up the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Dartford crossing.
Obviously these climate activists have important things to say and I understand the publicity stunts are necessary to an extent, but the Dartford Crossing is already bad enough for traffic as it is. It’s the only bridge East of Central London that lets you cross the Thames so having it closed off is a nightmare on so many levels for so many people. Is this really the way to win people over to your cause? Well, we’ll have to see about that. In the meantime, I think they can expect a few more fireworks to the face at future protests.
