A fire engine and ambulance were among the vehicles caught in a blockade by Just Stop Oil protesters in west London which the government has said is "unacceptable".
Videos shared online showed the emergency vehicles on blue lights unable to get through the traffic after around 32 protesters blocked three roads in Knightsbridge and Brompton Road.
The protesters stopped traffic from travelling in either direction, with some gluing themselves to the asphalt.
One video showed a stationary fire engine in the middle of a junction near Knightsbridge Underground station, with protesters blocking both the road behind and in front of it.
Just Stop Oil later tweeted a video showing protesters moving out of the way of a fire engine with the caption: "Just Stop Oil supporters pause roadblock to let fire engine through."
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "An appliance from Kensington Fire Station was temporarily stopped by a road block and arrived within 14 minutes of being called."
This is the group's 11th consecutive day of disruption in London with protesters demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licences and consents.

“....demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licences and consents”
When your country economically imploding is not enough.......
Humans may be at the top of the food chain but, as a species, they aren’t very smart, and, on top of that, they are just plain effed up.
These morons think their iPhones are made from hemp and patchouli.
They should receive the Rachel Corrie treatment
“These morons think their iPhones are made from hemp and patchouli.”
you forgot Quinoa and Kale leaves
(Just Stop Oil)
Brilliant!!
A world filled with idiots.
SMH
“Idiocracy”
Worldwide since 2008
Indeed.
Think I have posted a few times over the last few months that ‘Idiocracy’ and ‘1984 weren’t just movies, they were actually documentaries.
but didn’t you know that 1 acre of hemp plants equals 20 acres of trees?
or was it 1 marijuana joint equals 20 cigarettes?
i just get so confused sometimes!
It’s astounding watching these idiots in action
Just Stop Oil founded by a young crazy girl named Hannah Hunt ...who is a fan of Extinction Rebellion
The role of the British police in this is to enable the protestors: instead of rounding them up and arresting them, they protect them from the general public.
Extinction Rebellion is a group that disrupted proceedings at the US Capitol and their stated objective is rebellion against Western European and US civilization.
As the tides hopefully change around the world we will see more of this and more violence and we have to meet violence with violence and crush it
Just Stop Socialism.
precisely. Extinction Rebellion are a bunch of upper class white Brits, who pretend they don’t know they are protected by the powers behind the “climate” scam.
their alternative to oil (some of the neighbours express their outrage in this particular case):
11 Oct: Daily Mail: Read the bizarre flyer calling for Aussies to ‘ration’ their power use to so electric vehicle owners can charge their cars
A flyer created by electric car owners has called on locals to ration their power
It was sent to residents living on a street in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton
The four EV owners made the request so they could charge their electric cars
By JESSE HYLAND FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Rhys Andrews said the car owner’s power company told them they could not charge several vehicles on the same street.
Electric vehicles can be charged using a power point, but the process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 20 hours, depending on the specific charger...
Many social media users who responded to the post slammed the electric vehicle owners for their odd request.
‘I can’t imagine turning off the amenities I’ve worked so hard to acquire so the neighbours can charge their cars,’ said one.
‘You want the EV mess; you figure out what to do with it and leave others out of your self-inflicted dilemma.’...etc

another example of how the “climate” mob intend to spend TRILLIONS (presumably/hopefully worldwide) just for transmission lines, which might be useless as new energy or a return to old energy become necessary:
10 Oct: Australian Financial Review: Electricity prices to soar as energy transition falters
by Angela Macdonald-Smith and Jenny Wiggins
Retail electricity prices could soar by at least 35 per cent in 2023 due to the unprecedented cost of wholesale energy, as the system grapples with the transition to clean energy amid a global supply crisis, power company bosses have told The Australian Financial Review’s Energy & Climate Summit...
The estimated jump in reference power tariffs next year – based on recent increases in wholesale prices – comes on top of an increase of up to 18 per cent in household tariffs on July 1.
It makes it harder to achieve the drop in power prices promised by Labor by 2025 in the run-up to the election in May, although Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen did not back away from that assurance.
“We remain of the view that renewables are the cheapest form of energy by a country mile as AEMO [Australian Energy Market Operator] says, and getting more renewables in the system will mean lower power prices,” Mr Bowen told the summit...
(Worley CEO) Mr Ashton said project approvals process needed to be streamlined, and construction of new supply standardised.
“Every time we start to look at an investment ... it tends to be a bespoke design. We’re going to have to move to much more standardised ways of doing things where we get high levels of replication. We’ll have to modularise and almost go into a production-line type mechanism type approach, if we’re going to deploy the capital because what Australia is facing isn’t unique.
“If you look at the quantum of investment required ... [estimates] look at anywhere between $US100 and $US120 trillion of investment necessary to effect transition by 2050. That is orders of magnitude more than the supply chain is capable of doing today.”...

Arrest them.
Go to their homes and confiscate every item with a component made from oil.
That includes ICE vehicles.
Cut off any utilities provided with oil products.
Give those items back after six months, after they pay storage fees.
