Footage shows the new group with Just Stop P***ing Everyone Off written on their T-shirts, having formed a human chain to stop a slow march through the capital.

A video shot in Elephant and Castle in south London showed the standoff where activists gave their views on why they were protesting and the JSPEO group told them to stop messing with peoples lives. One of the activists said over a loud speaker: "Yesterday I was arrested for peacefully protesting on the road but I am back down here today because it is our democratic right to do so and we know that disruption isn't comfortable but it is necessary and we meet this circle of people around us. "We do agree about the same things except we have that sense of urgency that when you see a house on fire you are not going to ask permission from the people inside to call the fire rescue." Someone from the JSPEO said that they were not holding people hostage and that the protesters within the circle could leave.
