CLIMATE activists cripple central London — using a legal loophole to halt traffic.

Eco-zealots from Just Stop Oil outraged motorists yesterday by slow-marching on seven different city routes.


They began their strolls from 7am to cause maximum commute chaos.

Police were unable to act, as under the law it is not an obstruction if you are moving — even at a snail’s pace.

Police in Regent Street dispersed one group after they refused a request to move on to the pavement.

But cops elsewhere failed to make arrests, as the standstill left vexed drivers beeping horns and swearing.
