Frustrated driver erupts at eco activists and police officers blocking road - VIDEO

       A driver was seen screaming at a police officer for blocking a road where Insulate Britain demonstrators were protesting in on Wednesday. The irate motorist appeared to have been delayed by the activists from the offshoot of Extinction Rebellion organisation, which obstructed major roads connecting to the M25. In footage shared by LBC, Insulate Britain protestors could be seen sitting on a crossroad, blocking cars from passing through.

       Six officers were at the scene surrounding the protestors as a police car blocked access to the road to traffic.

       A driver in a white car could be seen waiting by the roadblock before starting to shout from his seat at a police officer who seemingly tried to intervene.

       Although the exchange was unintelligible, the driver appeared to be furious, seemingly spurring the officer to intervene to remove the activists.

       Insulate Britain obstructed the A40 in west London and a roundabout in Dartford on Wednesday morning.

       The organisation have been urging the Government to insulate all homes in a bid to combat the climate emergency and to save lives.

       Insulate Britain resumed their action this week after a 10-day break, with Kent Police confirming the arrest of 14 protesters.

       The latest action comes despite four court injunctions in place against the group.

       The Department for Transport said the injunctions cover the "entire strategic road network".

       One protestor, Amy Pritchard told the Telegraph: "The plan is we are being searched and are about to be arrested.

       "We were going to go on to the roundabout to obstruct it. We've been prevented from entering the roundabout.

       "The police have not been charging us with anything or interviewing us. There's been a political decision not to deal with us and we don't want to be blocking roads, so it is fine.

       "And we will continue until our demands are met and we are prevented from doing this.”
