London, Oct 26 (UNI/Sputnik) An environmental group demanding that the British government insulate and retrofit homes across the United Kingdom has urged drivers on Tuesday not to use the M25 highway encircling London starting Wednesday as the road has been declared a “place of nonviolent civil resistance.”
“Starting from 7:00 on the morning of Wednesday October 27, the M25 will become a place of nonviolent civil resistance to stop our Government committing crimes against humanity,” the Insulate Britain movement said in a statement, asking people not to use the M25, “and if they do, speeds are reduced to 20mph to minimise the risk of accidents.”
The group, which has caused chaos on major roads in and around London over the past few weeks, resumed its sit-down protest on Monday, after a ten-day pause before the UN Climate Change Conference, or COP26, scheduled to take place from October 31 – November 12 in Glasgow, Scotland.
