UK Police Arrest 27 Just Stop Oil Activists in Nationwide Sweep

The Stonehenge maneuver probably pissed off authorities enough to put them under surveillance.

Police have carried out a nationwide wave of arrests against Just Stop Oil supporters suspected of plotting to disrupt airports this summer.

The arrests took place in London, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Devon, Essex, Manchester, Surrey, Sussex, Norfolk and West Yorkshire, the Metropolitan said in a statement on Friday.

It appears that law enforcement has been doing a bit of surveillance on JSO.

Chief Supt Ian Howells, who led the operation, said: “We know Just Stop Oil are planning to disrupt airports across the country this summer, which is why we have taken swift and robust action now.

“Our stance is very clear that anyone who compromises the safety and security of airports in London can expect a strong response from officers or security staff.

JSO posted footage from some of the raids.

It also appears that a Just Stop Oil spokesperson has officially confessed to the conspiracy charges. Not the smartest legal maneuver.

Asked about the justification for planning to target airports during the key summer holiday period, the spokesman said: “In normal times, that kind of disruption would be entirely unacceptable.

But you can’t really disassociate what we’re potentially planning on doing from the reasons why.

He added that disruption is necessary because people are “dropping dead around the world” from extreme heat, and “tipping points” are being passed.

“Just Stop Oil” is just another example of the result that propaganda has on masses of people.

Who spreads the propaganda? Those are the real conspirators who should be dealt with.
