Environmental protesters pressuring the British government to insulate all homes within a decade have apologized for their role in bringing another day of traffic chaos to London’s major ring road
LONDON -- Environmental protesters pressuring the British government to insulate all homes within a decade apologized on Monday for their role in bringing another day of traffic chaos to London's major ring road but said the road blocks would continue unless a dialogue opens up.
For the fourth time in little more than a week, the “Insulate Britain” protesters targeted the M25, one of the country's busiest highways, blocking entry roads by gluing themselves to the road and painting the name of their group on the road as well as a blue heart.
The group says it wants the Conservative government to insulate "all of Britain’s 29 million leaky homes by 2030, and all social housing by 2025,” a policy that it says will pay dividends in the urgent battle against climate change.
Chief Superintendent Nick Caveney from the Hertfordshire Constabulary, which made a further 29 arrests Monday for a total of 76 overall, warned of more traffic misery ahead and said police were doing everything they can to stop the protests before they cause traffic chaos.
