Stop Killing Londoners Road Block
Marylebone Rd, London, Wed 5 Jul 2017
After the statement was read, the loudspeaker was used to play disco
music
and people danced on the road
One motorist tried to drive through, but people sat on the bonnet of the
car
A driver got out of his car and argued with the protesters
They told him we needed to get something done to cut air pollution
which was killing thousands
and that protests were the only way to get the authorities to move
Procuding the evidence, lobbying etc hadn't got any effective action
over traffic pollution
The banner was turned around so that drivers at the front of the queue
could see it
even if they hadn't heard the statement at the start of the protest
and after a short protest people left the road
Police only arrived after the protesters had left and seemed more
worried about the
safety of the protesters than the short hold up to traffic that had been
caused.
