Two eco-activists are arrested after 40-HOUR fuel protest as ministers draw-up injuctions to stop eco-mob mayhem over Easter
Louis McKechnie, 21 and Nathan McGovern, 22, chained to Grays oil depot pipes until around 9pm last night. The men had disrupted the depot since Sunday and agreed to trade their superglue for some water yesterday.
Labour had called on Home Secretary to seek nationwide injunctions to stop 'guerrilla tactics' being used. Measures would mirror those used last year to ban Insulate Britain fanatics from blocking roads. Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion activists have targeted 11 fuel depots in as many days.
