Just Stop Oil protesters halt Pride parade: Police arrest seven as demonstrators block road after taking organisers to task over sponsors they say are 'polluting the planet'

Just Stop Oil have stormed London's historic Pride parade, after issuing threats to the LGBTQ+ event earlier this week.

Seven eco-zealots have been arrested after nine blocked the capital's Pride March today amidst calls for the event to condemn new oil, gas and coal.

At around 1:25pm, the group sat down in front of the festival's Coca-Cola float, branding it 'the world's worst plastic polluter, accused of numerous human rights abuses'.

Black and pink paint was also sprayed across the road as the protestors slammed Pride for failing 'to address and take responsibility' for its damaging relationships.

Parade participants and onlookers who have travelled to the capital today were frustrated by the disruption, with some attempting to negotiate with the 'attention-seeking' protesters as they were sat in the road.

It comes as millions cloaked in rainbows and glitter headed to the event to mark 51 years since its first parade for LGBTQ+ rights in 1972.

A Just Stop Oil spokesman said: 'Pride was born from protest. It speaks to how far we've come as a community, that high polluting industries and the banks that fund them, now see Pride as a useful vehicle for sanitising their reputations, waving rainbow flags in one hand whilst accelerating social collapse with the other.

'It is queer people, and particularly queer people of colour in the global south, who are suffering first in this accelerating social breakdown.

So one group of wacko's is mad at another group of wacko's because they don't embrace their brand of idiocy.

Almost seems like it should be a Monty Python sketch.

Destroy as much priceless art as you want but do not get in the way of government sanctioned mutants, freaks, and pedophiles.

After I am dead and gone, I hope they do stop oil. Do they know what will happen to them when they do. Has Satan enlightened them yet?

The liberals have created so many points of division that can’t unite anymore.

We need to take advantage of this.

The only sure way of getting 15-20 years in prison today is to disrupt Sodomite Pride, or be a MAGA Protester…

15 years in prison for burning Sodomite Pride Flag

18 years for January 6 Protest
