Furious woman explodes at eco mob blocking her ‘sick child’

A woman shouted at Just Stop Oil activists that they were stopping her “sick child” from passing as the protesters blocked two roads in east London on Sunday. It came after Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist urged people in a statement on Friday not to take the law into their own hands and “directly intervene” to move protesters.
