Furious motorists called on police to arrest a group of more than 20 eco-zealots who staged a sit-down demonstration outside Baron's Court station this morning, blocked one of the main roads into the capital during rush hour. In scenes that will infuriate motorists, 23 activists walked into the road a 7.30am and sat down with banners on the road near Hammersmith flyover before gluing themselves to the tarmac and using lock-ons to avoid being forcibly removed. Officers from the Metropolitan Police are on the scene, with the force saying it is 'in the process of removing and arresting' the protesters. Video shows them trying to remove the protesters while trying to calm angry drivers. It is the 18th consecutive day of disruption by the eco-mob and comes as the Dartford Bridge remains closed more than 24 hours after two other supporters of the group ascended two 275ft masts and dangled over one of the busiest roads in the country. The A282 over the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, which links the M25 between Essex and Kent, has been shut by police while they try and coax the pair down, creating huge delays for the second day in a row.

In order to be effective, they need to be able to cause significant inconvenience to those that are the subject of their protest.
Where it goes too far is when these people cause massive inconvenience to the rest of us. Quite apart from the massive additional fuel cost and usage caused by people having to make major detours.
Start sending some of these people to prison. Not most of them. Just the ones that cause massive inconvenience to all of us. Starting with these 2.

Essex Police has confirmed a specialised raised platform has arrived on the bridge to allow experts to begin working at height to persuade the two eco-zealots to come down. A statement said: 'A special raised platform is being brought in as we consider all options to resolve the situation at the Dartford Crossing and bring it to a safe conclusion. We are continuing to work with our partners to remove two people who remain at height on the QEII bridge. When that safe conclusion is reached, the two people will be arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance.'

The irony of it is that they were brought down by a hydraulic oil platform.
