Anti-fossil fuel activists stopped traffic today in Chiswick, West London, by sitting on the roof of a tanker, Eddie Stobart.
The demonstration, by a supporter of the Just Stop Oil group, is part of an ongoing campaign for more action to tackle the climate crisis, which has also led to blockades of oil terminals.

ITV News have more details:
Four climate activists boarded the tanker Eddie Stobart, surrounded by police at the Chiswick roundabout in West London. Some clung to the roof.
The police closed part of the road, but at first did not try to move the tank or removed the protesters.
“We saw a tanker transporting the deaths of our future and our loved ones,” protester Cameron Ford told ITV News London.
“He reached the traffic lights and two people came out in front of the tank with a banner and told the driver that his tank was stopped and two people got in the back while it happened,” he added.

The Green Flag breakdown service sent some tips for overcoming the challenge of traveling by bank:
- Walk around the car for signs of potential problems, including flat tires or lights that need to be replaced.
- Have your car serviced regularly to make sure your car is in the best condition to drive and ultimately extend the overall life of your car.
- Check your tires for both tire pressure (including spare, if you have one) and tire tread. The tires have their own built-in tread wear indicators, but this can also be checked with a 20 pence coin; if the outer band of the coin is visible when placing the coin in the groove between the treads, it means that they are worn too low and the tires need to be replaced
- Check the levels of all liquids, making sure you top up if necessary, and bring water, oil and wash the screen with you just in case.
- Make sure you have fuel if you drive a petrol or diesel car, make sure you have enough fuel to get to your destination and back, or plan your fuel stops in advance if you are going on a longer trip that will require from you to refuel your car. If you drive an electric vehicle, make sure your car is fully charged before you leave, and try to find charging points along the way so you are fully prepared for your trip.
- Make sure your phone battery is charged before you travel and pack a portable charger. In the event of damage, using the phone charger in a car without a running engine can drain the car battery in a very short period of time.
- Make sure you have a cover for damage to make sure you are covered in case of damage.

Kent’s pride will remain detailed with the Spirit of Britain after inspectors from the Marine and Coast Guard (MCA) found “deficiencies” in safety and crew.
An MCA spokesman said: “Pride of Kent will remain in custody after a re-inspection of the ferry, which identified a number of additional deficiencies, including safety systems and crew documentation.
“We advised P&O to invite us back after solving the problems. We still don’t know when that will happen. “
The decision came a day after the Dover-based Spirit of Britain also failed a security check.
