Give that man a medal.
Yes the protesters are really annoying and bit bonkers but he should be evicted for anti social behavior and then arrested because your not allowed to throw a liquid over someone and that's a far more serious offence then walking on the road.
I argue he shouldn't get a medal, he cooled them down in a heat wave. I'm pro hating them though don't get it twisted
@@Anti_Putin_Russian You're not allowed the block the road intently. There might be ambulances behind. It is classed as detaining vehicles and they do not have the right to do that. Pushing them out the road is reasonable force.
@@Anti_Putin_Russian you must be one of them. Just stop. They deserve it.
@@mikrophone8499 Not only do they deserve it, it's FUNNY!
here in Ecuador there is a law that says, any person blocking or halting a public service or circulation will be jailed, because your rights end when you infringe another person's rights
Same in the UK. The issues are limp dick police, parasitic lawyers, and huge millionaires funding these tosser groups.
In the UK it's an offence to obstruct the highway but the police choose not to enforce the law where these idiots are concerned.
Lol, how about dealing with the disgusting people that toxify others air, food and water ? Do some research bro... how many frog species has Ecuador lost or have just a few numbers left ? How many rivers and streams have chemicals in your area ? There are chemicals in the land you feed your family from. That's fact and that's disgusting...

"Just stop oil"
Obstructs traffic, causing machines that burn oil to burn more than they normally would.
Flawless logic.
True
I bet half their gear involves oil in the production process.
Exactly surely if a car gets from point A to point B as fast as it can then the engine will be switch off and hey presto what do you know, no more pollution.
Coupled with the fact that they're wearing plastic orange reflective jackets. Not environmentally friendly. All synthetic. How much oil went into making those. As you say, flawless logic.
@@mariajukejax9649 yep when emotions are high intelligence is low
Bro, the level of patience these drivers have is absolutely INSANE. Here in India, If you value your life I would recommend you to refrain from doing such stupid stuff, our truck drivers won't stop and wait for you to move, they'll either throw you like a rag on the other side of the road or literally crush you and go on.
Yes you are right. India mein kuchal ke aage badh jayenge truck wale
I like that! 😂
As they should.
I’d like to see these idiots try this in India 😂

Haha 😅 my car is about to miss the plants too! Lol
Cars emit CO2 which is good for plants.

Nothing says, "We care about the environment" more than forcing cars to idle in the streets, therefore wasting enormous amounts of fuel
"enormous amounts of fuel" yeah ok if you say so.
@@drfell9105 All those backed-up cars idling? Sure. Lotta fuel. Frell those brainless zombie-walking protesters.
And I bet these hypocrites have air-conditioning, cellphones, and the clothes and so on
You suggest a better way to fight global warming then because I would love to hear it.
@@drfell9105 Just so you know, it does waste gas. Why do you think UPS turns their trucks off at every delivery? Car manufacturers are coming up with the same ideas.
This is how these people should be treated. Like the clowns they are. Imagine doing this and thinking you are "making a difference". If anything they turn people away from their cause.
Not to mention they are forcing people to use more fuel, which completely goes against their cause.
They are making a difference, annoying people, blocking traffic and being stubborn! 😊
@@kamillathorsholt201 how true. I hadn't considered that lol.
There's no "if anything" about it, they're definitely turning people against their cause.
They're doing nothing to help the environment, just attention seekers trying to make themselves feel important.
Their cause "just stop oil" is sh*t anyways
Get that man a water cannon!
The way to get people on you’re side isn’t to piss everyone off

Should of done their work weeks ago then instead of supporting the 🔔🔚s
but he did the right thing for once and told them to move, good
Yes he probably was desperate to use his truncheon on the gentleman on the balcony
@@timwatkins3271 im 100 % with you on that, im suprised no one has gotten properly injured yet tbh

I'm an environmentalist, and an activist myself. But here's the difference - I went to school to become a dietitian so I could make my life's work showing people how to eat a healthy diet, whilst reducing their impacts on the environment and animals as much as possible. I didn't just decide one day, "I think I'll block the road to make people stop needing to fill their cars with petrol, and then I'll go in a steakhouse and shout at people for eating veal." Life is very seldom so cut and dried. We should strengthen our powers of persuasion, via logic and intellectual rigor; for if lacking those qualities, the public will summarily dismiss the message, and rightly so.
Using natural resources is a MORAL GOOD.
We are privileged to forget what life was like for mankind before the use of natural gas, coal and oil. No way do I want to go back. The way forward is technology and innovation.
@@TheSaintFrenzy i agree. people should stop uselessly blocking roads (and wasting precious fuel because cars run on idle) and start developing technology to actually solve the world’s problems.
@@TheSaintFrenzy Who is suggesting that we have to go back to what society was like before the usage of gas, coal and oil? It's not like all development in the last 150 years will disappear because we stop using them. Green industry has been built and developed using fossile fuels, but we are everyday moving further away from being reliant (heavily reliant) on those fossile fuels to build and maintain new green industry. So it's not like stop using something is equivalent of it never existing.
I agree that technology and innovation are the cornerstones of the transition. That is why I am so disgusted that instead of accepting the challange, and put in the effort that is necessary to succeed, we are still arguing with idiots that want to dismiss the scale of the challange because they are scared that we won't fully be able to transition with the technology and innovation in the foreseeable future. And they are unwilling to accept that the facts of what need to be done doesn't fit their feelings about what they are willing to change.
I'm not asking for anyone to give up anything that they don't have to give up. But I cannot accept that we are expected to just ignore all facts that we aren't able to without any sacrifice account for.
I would agrue that it for a long time has been morally justified to use fossile fuels. And even today to maintain some basic level of modern 2023 society. But the window is closing because we have had more then 50 years to transition, as the facts of climate change has been known. And at some point it's not going to be morally justified anymore toward future generations.
Brillant 1st wash they had in a while
Which is why I think water bottles or fruit would’ve been more effective
One could off thrown some flammable liquid over them,or
any liquid to that matter.
We must not have anybody

flammable liquid is thrown.

Well done Comrade
Obstructing the street is NOT SPEECH.
Is pollution free speech?
@@mehg8407 Since it is an inevitable and inextricable part of existing, yes.
@@mehg8407 it is, you fucwad
@@mehg8407 by speaking/exhaling you pollute the air with carbon, therefore .... kind of yes!
seriously though these guys are out to be as obstructive as possible, it's hard to feel any sort of sympathy with their message. Even if climate change is something worth bringing attention to the method is just utterly idiotic, pestering members of the public won't make a difference to those flying around in private jets with multi million dollar industries at their fingertips.
Maybe just stop oil should have a word with the Chinese and Indians who are some of the biggest contributors to global warming? 🤔
If anything this group is enabling the government to push to outlaw the right to protest, which would be a horrible thing for democracy in the UK, imagine never being able to make your voice heard about *ANYTHING* because of these numpties and some unelected idiots in parliament (the Tories have been pushing for this for years)
@@mehg8407 its easy to point out problems. Productive people to society come up with solutions
The real story is.... Who is funding this movement, thats where the story gets dark.
Deffo, its an agenda without a doubt
Universal credit
@@grumpycat666 🤣🤣🤣
They are NOT protestors. They are COMMIE GOVERNMENT PAID ANARCHISTS
I guarantee they dont know a THING about anything to do with oil/
Actually no.
Poor people have real problems and can't play at protesting.
The protesters are often retired and usually quite well spoken, so stuff you and your class prejudice.
I'm going to give both my diesel 4WDs and sportsbike a big, loving hug.
“For my family” that sign infuriates me, what about the people trying to visit a dying family member and there’s you blocking the road completely oblivious to the stress you can be causing other people,those protesters are so selfish to do this!
They dragged 'em off quick enough during the Coronation!
6 wierdos and their private photographers....
Arrest them all. One year in jail.
I understand their message and I support their movement, but I hate when they are messing other people’s lives as their method. This is unacceptable and a terrible way to get their message through.
You support their message of ending oil? Do you realize that means living without electricity and burning wood(or Whale Oil)?
That man on the balcony is a hero.
That's possibly their frist shower in months
should have been hot oil
i hope it was toilet water
I hope he added his piss in the warer
He was a jerk
0:59 I love how shocked the girl on the right looks when they realise the police finally aren't on their side anymore and on the publics side. I hope this helps to kill off Just stop oil and bring an end to their incompetent disgusting protests.
Not when they are being backed by a billionaire unfortunately.
@@missc4079 I read today that the billionaire has threatened to stop (or has already stopped) funding them because he fears that they are now beginning to do more harm than good to the 'cause' - because of the rising opposition by the public. Rather than drumming up public support they are stirring up opposition.
@@nheather if that is true then that's good news.
The police are never on your side. Ask the girls in Rotherham.
She probably was like “oops this wasn’t in the brochure or covered in orientation. I don’t want to get in trouble.”
Just Jail these clowns
the real face of insanity
if they dont listen copper just drag them by their hair off the road
Police don't need any more enemies. The left represent 50% of the population, remember.
Or under a car...
They need a license for that
Man I bet you have never beaten your wife or gf by dragging her by the hair
These people are like zombies,its more creepy than it is convincing.
Thank you!!!
I could not imagine being 70 years old and being stupid enough to participate in this.
So let me get this straight they hold up traffic which pollutes the environment even more…not very sharp are they
Nope, most of them seem as thick as a whale omelette
They don't care. They get donations for doing this
... and they do it while wearing items produced from oil...
It's not about helping the environment.... these people just want attention thus they intentionally anger people to try becoming victims.
Only if the drivers are too stupid to switch off their engines
I hope the water is okay😢
I think you need to ask the road, it got wet...
🤣🤣🤣🤣Dudes, you have me tearing😂😂😂😂😂🍻
That water is tainted now. 😢
It’s ok it’s in a better place now, it evaporated and went to the clouds. R.I.P
One surefire way to make people sympathetic to your cause is to royally piss them off. Works every time! 🤦
Here in Brazil we have a police group called "CHOQUE" who remove these protesters with pepper spray and tear gas bombs 😂
Holding up the working class as per usual.
That's about the height of it... The luxury of having a cause, but not a struggle.
I bet you vote Tory, you simpleton.
They should try "Just stop oxygen".
It may as well be because that would be the same result.
Or just try and get a proper job, that a lot of lazy Brits won’t do
One of these days a civilian might beat one of those useful idiots. If not escalating to a shooting.
The people are this close to really snap and go wild against these pseudo-protesters, who are mostly paid people or offsprings from wealthy people that are good for nothing.
We can manage without oil not oxygen - understand?
@@davdonoghue No we can't manage without oil.
0:11 it wasn't water!!! He had to go!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍
What I dont get, if I walked in the middle of the road without a placard. I would be arrested instantly..
Why are these THINGS, immune to the law and prosecution all because they have a placard with some random words on it.. genuinely.. wtf is the police in the UK doing
As a UK officer - no you wouldn't. You'd be escorted from the road after you were told to get out of the road, if you continued to refuse or ran back into the road, then it might be the case, but that's no different to what happened here.
The difference is when it involves a protest, different legislation has to be used. Section 12 of the public order act is older legislation that isn't really designed for obstructing the highway cases, but the offence wording is such that it can be used. "Wiful obstruction of the highway" is harder to prove and that's why they use Section 12 POA.
I've arrested one person in my career for "Wiful obstruction of the highway", at a defence arms exhibition where two people in clown outfits and face makeup tried to lay in the road, put their arms in a tube and tried to padlock them together, this was a number of years ago before JSO were really becoming a "thing" if you like, and so obstrution of the highway was used then. Now JSO try to argue at court when they get arrested for Obstructing the highway and try to challenge various points of the law, citing "grey areas", so us police have to use other legislation such as "Section 12 of the public order act" which is easier to prove and has less "grey area" to it.
Common sense has left the building.
No, ANYONE walking in the street, NOT at an approved crosswalk, with a LEGAL signal to cross, SHOULD BE RAN OVER. PROBLEM SOLVED!
@@thefiestaguy8831nd yet you can get arrested if you are praying silently outside an abortion facility this countrys laws are full of hypocrisy
@@eileenjames9929 Where'd you work that out? I've never ever seen anyone arrested for a PEACEFUL protest. I've seen plenty of people arrested however when they claim to be "protesting" but as part of their protest mill around smashing up shops, setting things alight and attacking people.
That ISN'T a "peaceful protest".
The video ends like that?!
Did they move off the road? Did they refuse and get arrested? Did someone just run them over (I’m hoping for this one)?
Of course you insight violence but then cower when they decide to take the militant approach.
Just arrest them already.
They should not be allowed to eat food that has to be shipped. Make it a condition of their probation.
Wouldnt it have been better if it was hot vegetable oil
Yeah see if they could really stop the oil then 😂
Toilet water next time
Or some acid, at least they will be finally doing something good for the world, dissapear
@@jimhendriks7587too far
No need to be that cruel. They mean well. There was even an old grandpa.
They are breaking the law, drag them off the road or arrest them.
I like how they try to argue with the police even though he clearly states that they’re breaking the law
We need to come together to fund a group that will follow these dunces home, then make sure that EVERY step they take throughout the day, whether its to the dispensary or Starbucks, is impeded and takes 50-100x longer than normal.
About freakin time an officer doing what he is supposed to be doing.
The police officer saying "please". Just drag them off of the road.
pathetic absolutely
You can't blame him for that. Officer probably doesn't want the Khan--Labour-Inquisition to descend upon him for the crime of mildly inconveniencing extremist leftwing terrorists.
This is the same city where Khan ordered police to flee from racist BLM rioters who were looking to loot stores and lynch people.
And risk losing their jobs when this group bring a civil and/or criminal claim against them?
As an officer myself, this is the exact way we're told to do it, the most senior ranking officer present, in this case, a Sergeant issues a Section 12 Public Order Act warning, from which arrest can follow if they refuse to vacate the road. This proves to the court that the police gave them a reasonable opportunity to move and acted in a reasonable manner. Any counter claim being bought by these protestors would likely not even get to court, or be thrown out, when the court are shown footage of the officers using restraint and making a lawful request for them to move, and then using reasonable force to make an arrest when they refuse to do so.
@@thefiestaguy8831 Get another job? You don't even do the job you're supposed to do. now.
@@thefiestaguy8831
Exactly. TBH if the mayor had any balls he'd simply put this into the local ordnances so the warning is pre-issued, arrests can be made immediatly and the freaks can't play cat and mouse by waiting for the warning, dispersing, turning a corner and starting a new blockade.
Should be jailed, without the talking
Stop talking to them, remove them
I wonder how many garments, shoes, banners etc they have or own are made with machines that use oil?
I most certainly hope you peed in that water before you threw it.🎉
Just stop water.
Why are so many old people involved in this oil protest? Guilt? Weren't they of the oil-guzzling generation?
Make it piss next time
Hear hear!
And a few brown lumpy bits!!! 😂
Just look at them. It's embarrassing to watch
That citizen was kind by throwing cold water and not sticky 🫒olive oil.
Great to see the Police being utterly useless here 🙄

Stopping regular folk from earning a living and taking care of their families. These clowns should be forced to do hard labor.
Well done
you supposed to give them the warning and if they do not comply you supposed to rest them afterwards blocking the roads is a criminal offence. I like the beginning of the video where the person got wet 😂
This is what police failure looks like.
HIGH WAGE FOR NO WORK
Police are not authorised to do anything by the Government ,not the police its the Home office. Sure the police would love to batter these cock wombles and bundle them into a waiting Transit van .
Well done ma’am
They were warned/intruded twice, didn't move, time to be arrested.
Under the Highways Act he could have arrester them for obstruction.
why did it take so long for the police to do there job .
I hope he didnt pee into that water 😅
He probably did... I would
I never thought I'd say this but we'll done to that police officer 👍💯👌
Bootlicker
That man is a legend
They're making more enemies than raising awareness
Perhaps the country needs to draw a sharp distinction between disruptive protesters, who block public roads, and non disruptive protesters, who get arrested simply for holding placards on the pavement outside abortion centres but who don't obstruct anyone. If we fail to draw a distinction based on the behaviour of protesters then perhaps we are encouraging them to be as disruptive as possible.
What are you talking about?
How about the people pumping toxic fumes into our air ? I think they should be removed, same way people who threaten anyone's health...

If I will ever see these things, I want an proper scientific explanation by them. I bet after few words they would get frustrated and stop talking, because heads are empty.
BFD. If you want to throw something drench them in oil.
Enough warnings start arresting.

They can wear whatever the hell they want.

JSO could straight up block entire highway for a month and the net economic detriment of that action ISNT EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE to the cost of necessary investment. Meaning that economically your little protest serves no value……
This action doesn’t even communicate what effective solutions exist. Honestly JSO would have a better argument if all their supporters wore signs that said “should’ve taken the tube today”. That actually illustrates and effective action that would incentivize people to become less dependent on cars and thus reduce pollution.
