Just Stop Oil was policed to extinction – now the movement has gone deeper underground

Listen to Justin read this article
Just Stop Oil (JSO) activists are dusting down their placards, digging out their infamous fluorescent orange vests, and charging up their loud hailers — a routine they have gone through many a time before.
It has taken just three years of throwing soup, spraying corn-starch paint and blocking roads – lots and lots of roads – for the troop of climate activists to become one of the country’s most reviled campaigning organisations.
They expect hundreds of activists to turn out on Saturday in Central London.
However, despite appearances, this JSO gathering is going to be very different from what has gone before. For a start it’s existence is no secret. And secondly, there is unlikely to be any of the mass disruption that has been seen previously.
