Activists who have infiltrated an oil plant near Birmingham have vowed ‘we’ll be here as long as we can’ after climbing on top of the facility as part of a series of dawn protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eco-terrorists from Just Stop Oil have managed to climb on top of a loading bay at Kingsbury Terminal in Warwickshire after gaining access to the facility in the early hours of this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Members of the group – who aim to put pressure on the Government to block new oil and gas projects in the UK – have also climbed on top of an oil tanker at Gray’s Terminal in Essex and have targeted the nearby Navigator Terminal in Thurrock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a video, posted on the Just Stop Oil Twitter account, one activist said: ‘In the early hours of this morning seven of us climbed up in amongst the pipes of the loading bay, blocking the terminal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘We intend to stay here as long as we can, or until the Government decides to stop all new oil and gas projects.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It comes as tempers today flared between lorry drivers and activists at one protest, with one haulier seen appearing to yank an activist off a tanker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
