Moment coach carrying migrants to Bibby Stockholm barge drives through Just Stop Oil eco-mob trying to block vehicle - as first asylum seekers arrive at 'floatel' evacuated two months ago over Legionella discovery.
Do YOU know who the JSO activists are? Email [email protected] Stop Oil has accused the driver of a coach carrying migrants to the Bibby Stockholm barge of 'trying to kill' them during a protest on Thursday.
The protest group also shared an image of a man they accused of encouraging a member of the public to 'drive straight through' the demonstrators, and demanded an investigation into whether he worked for the Home Office.

JSO recently announced it would begin three more weeks of daily slow marches in London, beginning on October 30 - in a fresh blow for Londoners following months of disruptive protests. Dramatic footage of the protest, which took place on Thursday morning, showed a group of people dressed in orange rush towards the coach.
JSO later shared a statement admitting defeat and hysterically accusing the driver of 'intent to kill'. A spokesperson for the Government department said: 'The disruption caused in Portland by a small group of people is totally unacceptable. Annika, of Portland Global Friendship Group, had helped produce 'welcome bags' for the arrivals which included shampoo, toothpaste, notebooks and a map of the local area.
She said: 'They hate it, they say it feels like a prison, some hate being on the sea, they find it very difficult to leave and they are completely separated from the community.' She added that those being brought to the Bibby Stockholm would be given five days' notice, with each individual being assessed against a suitability criteria and screened against police and immigration databases.She added that a full system cleanse of the water system had been carried out and tests had given the all-clear for the Legionella bacteria.
Groups involved in the protest included Stand Up To Racism, while some attendees carried copies of the Socialist WorkerSteve Smith, chief executive of refugee charity Care4Calais, said it was assisting asylum seekers with legal challenges against the accommodation. She said: 'Nothing about the Bibby Stockholm has gone well - it wasn't even the Home Office's first or second choice of barge, so they had to settle for something 50 years old, rotten, and unfit for use.'I discovered that it costs more per head than hotels, not less, so the Government's strategy doesn't add up. And there are claims going through the High Court.'
Lawyers for the Home Office argued Mrs Parkes's claim was 'out of time', 'without merit' and said the judge should refuse to give permission for the challenge to proceed to a trial.They also argued there was no 'general principle' that housing 'non-British asylum seekers' together on a vessel was 'unlawful' under a public sector equality duty.
Opposition has also come from organisations including the Fire Brigades Union, which has warned of 'serious fire risks'. 'Delivering alternative accommodation sites, such as the vessel, is more affordable for taxpayers and more manageable for communities, due to healthcare and catering facilities on site, 24/7 security and the purpose-built safe accommodation they provide.'A photo of a TV room onboard the barge, which was previously used to house offshore workers
Police are seen searching through the property, using torches to check drawers, before being quizzed by a Just Stop Oil supporter about the items they are seizing. 'New oil and gas will result in unimaginable suffering and destroy the lives and livelihoods of billions of people. No one has ever voted for this, there has never been a democratic mandate to destroy the habitable world.Mr Hallam being arrested by police during the dawn raid on his house
'For this is how it will be seen by the next generation and all future generations. Our friends in police custody and languishing in prison understand this very well as do we.' Scotland Yard said protesters were asked to move from the road onto the pavement to avoid breaching the conditions.
