A protester from Just Stop Oil glued themselves to a radio microphone while live on air this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Climate activist Nathan McGovern, 22, was speaking to Tom Swarbrick in LBC’s Westminster studio when he glued his hand to the microphone at around 11.40 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McGovern said that the station was ‘not using’ its ‘massive platform’ to inform listeners of the dangers of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LBC confirmed later that Mr McGovern had been questioned by police. He said that he pulled the stunt because ‘people need to be aware’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking live, Mr McGovern said to Mr Swarbrick: ‘You have a massive platform, a microphone that you can use to tell people about the situation we’re in and you’re not using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘An ordinary person like me is having to take the microphone and tell your viewers the situation we are in.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The LBC presenter said: ‘For those of you listening wondering what the banging on the microphone is, Mr McGovern seems to have, you’ve glued yourself to the microphone? That’s fantastic.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the incident, LBC presenter and Daily Mail columnist Andrew Pierce took over the live programme from Global’s Leicester Square, before handing it back to Mr Swarbrick when arrived there.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
