Eco-warriors brought Central London to a standstill on Monday morning, with radicals glueing themselves to the roads around Southwark Bridge and Canary Warf to protest climate change.
Members of Insulate Britain, an Extinction Rebellion splinter group, have once again enraged the public, shutting down traffic in a busy area of the British capital.
At around 8 a.m. during Monday morning rush hour the far-left radicals began blockading roads from Upper Thames Street to Bishopsgate in the Liverpool Street area of London, resulting in at least 51 arrests, the Daily Mail reported.
A City of London Police spokesman said: “Bishopsgate is currently closed at the junction with Wormwood Street due to protest activity. Police are at the scene but please avoid the area if possible as this is causing disruption to traffic.
“Police are also at Southwark Bridge at the junction with Upper Thames Street, which is also closed in both directions, due to protest activity. Please avoid the area if possible.”
Footage shared on social media showed police officers trying to remove them from the scene, however many had glued parts of their bodies to the road in order to prevent swift action from being taken.

British wackjobs are among the wackiest.
If it wasn't for double standards, leftists would have no standards at all.
Blocking traffic is a horrible way to protest. It pisses people off against you and your cause.
Makes for rather bumpy roads.
I certainly hope they used adhesive that won’t harm the environment
Let’s be honest.
Who hasn’t glued themselves to a road?
C’mon, fess up.
I cried when Old Yeller died.
London traffic is a nightmare on a good day. I always use the subway there. Just glue them to the road and see how long before they get good and thirsty and hungry.
Stupidity knows no bounds.
Cut them off, nobody can approach them. No effort to remove them. Let em freeze at night and roast all day.
I saw this approach twice in Texas. Once at a Rattlesnake roundup protesters chained themselves to the fence. They put up a tarp around them to block them from view and ignored them.
Another was in the GOP Convention in Dallas in 1984. The idiots laid down to block a street... in July, in Dallas. Cops just stood there and watched. After a minute or two, that black asphalt was unbearable.
The inevitable result of the welfare state. Without work there is no purpose. Without purpose insanity rules.

Apparently, attempting to win public support for their agenda is not part of their agenda.
K-k-k-k-ken!
Spray paint them from the air!
See if they move...
;-)
Two or three minutes on asphalt in Texas can give you serious burn. You fry meat on the street in the summer.
These sheeple are so brainwashed and gaslighted that they are willing to put their lives at risk for something that isn’t even real! Democrats are bringing in more low IQ folks here too by proceeding with the replacement that isn’t great for Americans. I viewed a video on illegal aliens pushing through Mexican forces to get to our border, and you can check it out in crawler link top of page at Whatfinger News. They even have Biden T-shirts on and insist they were invited. SMH! The Sun is 99.86% of the mass of our solar system and responsible for all energy, weather and climate on Earth. Man is just a TINY part of the remaining 0.14% (which is mostly the other planets), and therefore incapable of altering ‘climate’.
Oh we have whackjobs here too. We call them ‘democRATs’.
Speed bumps.
Fleshy speed bumps. Roads are for driving, not sitting.
