Eco protesters who have infuriated motorists by blocking roads have agree to suspend campaigning after a Boris Johnson speech.
Insulate Britain have drawn heavy criticism for stunts in which they ran out onto the M25 motorway and blocked access to the Port of Dover.

We've been hearing that same "message" for what, 30 years now? How many "point of no returns" have we passed? A dozen, two dozen?
It is the same high-pressure tactics used by shyster lawyers and used car salesmen. Don't think, there's no time, act now, make an emotional, reflexive decision...
This is how I know, I know global warming / climate change is not really an issue. If it were actually an issue we could do something about, they wouldn't need such insultingly obvious idiocy to try to "sell" it to us.
LIKE SAIL CATS?????
“Where Insulate Britain activists enraged drivers who took matters into their own hands and dragged the eco activists out of the road.”
Beat the ever loving snot out of a few. The rest will get the message.

Vigorous application of a cricket bat would make for a more permanent solution.
Render them incapable of slithering back like a slug!!!
