Pictured: The man is pictured protesting on the M25 on Monday and arrested again on Wednesday and now Friday Specialist officers have been brought in to break up the protests quickly - including this one on the M11 near Stansted but drivers caught in the queues believe it is too little too late Highways England workers on the exit slip road of the M25 motorway near Leatherhead after protestors blocked the road and left paint on it But the eco-warriors did shut it at junction 9 - and daubed the carriageway with blue paint saying 'IB' - short for Insulate Britain Officers took action after being called soft touch and were criticised because irate drivers were forced to take the law into their own hands - but Essex Police did stop them today But Surrey Police failed to stop them doing the same for the third morning today, with a group now sitting on the junction 9 sliproad with long queues already building on the main carriageway How can you complain to the police about their handling of the protests? Angry motorists argued and jostle with activists and were turned away by police as protesters from the Insulate Britain pressure group block a roundabout near Stansted Airport - but they smiled as police dragged the activists off One motorist tried to explain the chaos they were causing for the public trying to get on with their jobs The protesters laid as still as possible to make it harder for officers to get them off the highway Highways England workers on the exit slip road of the M25 motorway near Leatherhead after protestors blocked the road and left paint on it to cause delays when they were removed Essex Police were the first force to be proactive and grab protesters on verges and on the road Officers managed to avert delays by ensuring traffic could still pass through But there were major problems in Surrey with queues at junction 9 for Leatherhead Priti Patel last night ordered police to take 'decisive action' against 'selfish' eco-warrior protesters who blocked Britain's busiest road twice in three days as the Met were accused of helping them The Home Secretary described the 'guerrilla tactics' of Insulate Britain as 'completely unacceptable' after the group held traffic at four junctions of the busiest junctions of the M25 on Wednesday Left taken MONDAY, right WEDNESDAY. Priti Patel last night ordered police to take 'decisive action' against 'selfish' eco-warrior protesters who blocked Britain's busiest road twice in three days The Home Secretary described the 'guerrilla tactics' of Insulate Britain as 'completely unacceptable' after the group held traffic at four junctions of the busiest junctions of the M25 on Wednesday Ms Patel also vowed to target disruptive protests such as Insulate Britain's with the Government's new Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill.
