Moms banded together to give Just Stop Oil a dressing this morning, clashing with the eco fanatics over their tone deafness.
On The Westway in Acton, west London, a parent berated a protester, telling him: ‘I have a baby in my car and we need to go to the hospital.’
But this had no effect on the activists, who continued to block the road.
Separately, a second mother with a baby stroller told the protesters, “Who are you to decide who gets to go? You’re not fucking God. People pay to drive on these roads. Don’t tell me you’ve never gotten in a goddamn car.’

Then another mother joined in and denounced the activists for blocking the roads again today

The climate fighters say they have 160 people on the streets today.
They targeted Earls Court Road in west London during Friday’s initial protests. Eight people held up white signs with campaign slogans.
One read “Life over oil,” while another read “I will not die quietly.”
At one point during the procession, fed up bystanders pressed some of the group. The march was then quickly brought to a close by police who issued a Section 12 notice and cleared the way.
Eight protesters were also spotted in Piccadilly receiving the same treatment just after 8.25am as was the case on Euston Road at 8.31am.
Another protest group, Animal Rising, joined the slow march.
Undeterred by the almost universal aversion to the type of demonstration, they copied the tactic but used pink banners instead of Just Stop Oil’s orange.
Yesterday Just Stop Oil was ridiculed by YouTube pranksters wearing similar hi-vis shirts with the phrase Just Stop P***ing Everyone Off on it. The counter-demonstrators surrounded them during a demonstration and made them sit on the ground.

It came this week after a number of tense altercations in the capital. An angry motorist confronted eco-fanatics by telling them to ‘f*** off and get a job’ out of frustration at their protest tactics.
Earlier, a pensioner labeled the group as ‘stupid idiots’ on the side of the road in Stratford, east London.
Tensions erupted into violence yesterday when Oxford climate protester Daniel Knorr, 21, – who was dragged off the pitch at Lord’s earlier this month by England cricketer Jonny Bairstow – was knocked to the ground by a motorist who blamed the eco-mob for crashing his car with his pregnant partner in it.
Today’s bizarre scenes culminated when the so-called shadowy JSPEO group camouflaged themselves in JSO’s traditional orange T-shirts to blend in with the do-gooders.
And when the climate change clowns started disrupting traffic in Elephant and Castle, their new ‘enemies’ struck.
JSPEO created a ring of human bodies and pushed them out of the street and onto the sidewalk.
There the baffled eco-annoys sat restrained and cross-legged on the floor before using a megaphone.
The woman, who said her name was Thea, said from the concrete floor, “I have been arrested for protesting peacefully on the road.

The group was briefly pulled off the road by the public, but the police were able to stop them

‘We know that disruption is not pleasant, but it is necessary.’
Then gesturing to their new arch-rivals, she added, “We meet this circle of people around us and we agree on the same things, except we have that sense of urgency.”
Continuing to say she’s from Canada and “also has family in the south of France,” JSPEO interrupts to say they can leave.
A spokesperson adds: ‘We are not holding you hostage.’
Earlier, a fed up bus driver gently bumped Just Stop Oil protesters along a road after their march disrupted his journey.
The motorist crept into his vehicle behind about 20 eco-fanatics along the blocked street.
It came after an angry bystander spoke on behalf of much of Britain this morning when he berated Just Stop Oil eco zealots who clogged one of the country’s roads.
The pensioner shamed the protesters during one of their now-famous slow marches through Stratford Broadway, east London, just after 9am.

The motorist crept into his vehicle behind the eco-fanatics along the blocked street on Cromwell Road, in central London, on Wednesday morning.
Two police officers were visible on the street and the man was seen telling them they would be moving them soon.
But the legal order to get them off the road – issued at 9:17 a.m. – didn’t come soon enough to prevent them from being left alone.
The man yelled, “They’ve never done a day’s work in their lives.
“I haven’t worked for people like you all my life. Stupid idiots. What planet do you live on? I hope you rot in prison.’
