    Now speaking to "Josh from Manchester"

    He was arrested on Monday. "The police were professional and kind to us."

    "I was released after 10 hours for investigation. "

    There was no bail conditions.

    XR blocking M25 Again

    Yep they are back again....

    https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/insulate-...ime-this-week/

    Climate change protesters sparked the fury of motorists again this morning, causing major traffic disruption when they blocked access to the M25 for the second time in a week.

    Eighteen protesters belonging to 'Insulate Britain' halted traffic near Junction 23 at South Mimms in their latest protest.

    Earlier this week there were furious clashes between the protesters and drivers after they carried out a similar protest, blocking the motorway and sparking huge tailbacks. 92 people were arrested.

    Many of the protesters taking part in today's disruption were arrested and held by police for up to 10 hours after Monday's protest, which was criticised as being "extraordinarily dangerous."

    LBC watched the angry scenes unfold with some drivers leaving their cars before attempting to drag protesters off roads and others mounting grass verges to avoid delays.
