       Furious commuters desperate to get to work beeped their horns as the banner-clutching demonstrators set up camp.

       Demonstrator Tracey Mallagan - who joined the group on the M25 at Waltham Cross in Hertfordshire today - said the country faces a "terrifying situation".

       She told LBC: "We won’t be worrying about shortages of pasta or loo rolls because law and order breaks down pretty quickly when there is not enough food to go round.

       "The government won’t be wondering if there are enough hospital beds or ventilators, but whether there are enough people left to bury the dead.

       "The government is destroying our country. Boris Johnson should be taken to court for treason. Our flesh and blood are being tossed aside as expendable.”

       Where have Insulate Britain blocked off before?

       Previously, Insulate Britain have targeted the M25, M4, M1 and Port of Dover.

       The group staged protests on the M25 near Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, the M4 near Heathrow Airport and the M1 at Brent Cross, North London.

       Protesters have also targeted other motorways, including the M11 near Stansted Airport in Essex and the M3 in Surrey.

       On October 2, 2021, the government obtained a fresh injunction banning the group from obstructing traffic and access to motorways and major A roads around London.

       Anyone who breaks the injunction faces imprisonment or an unlimited fine, and activists found in contempt of court may also be forced to repay the costs of their case.

       The Department for Transport (DfT) said more than 200 Insulate Britain campaigners had been arrested at the protests, the first of which affected Essex, Hertfordshire and Kent on September 13, 2021.

       On October 4, at the Blackwall Tunnel, a group of activists sat down on the northbound A102 causing large queues to build up during rush hour.

       Furious motorists and emergency crews could be seen the same day on Wandsworth Bridge dragging Insulate Britain protesters from the road as they attempted to cause disruption.

       In a video posted by talkRADIO, one angry protester can be heard shouting: "Get off the f***ing road, you f***ing idiot," before dragging a demonstrator sitting in the middle of the road.

       The protesters caused disruption with their demonstrations on Wandsworth Bridge Credit: LNP Why is Insulate Britain blocking roads?

       Insulate Britain is demanding that the Government insulate the UK's 29 million homes by 2030 in a bid to reduce climate emissions.

       The off-shoot of Extinction Rebellion wants the Government to take real action on the climate crisis.

       What has Insulate Britain said?

       Insulate Britain spokesperson Tracey, a full-time mother from Milton Keynes said: “We’re more scared of what will happen when the climate crisis causes the breakdown of law and order, than we are of injunctions and prison.

       “The government is focussing on us rather than what’s coming down the road. They need to face up to reality.”

       Controversial group ringleader Liam Norton - who stormed off Good Morning Britain during a discussion about his own eco-habits - said the demonstrations will not stop.

       He said: "We want to be clear, this campaign will continue until the government gives us a meaningful statement we can trust, if that happens we will get off the roads like a shot."
