Essential workers have said the eco-activists are risking lives as emergency vehicles are stuck in traffic caused by road blockages.
The experienced paramedic, who is based outside of London, told Metro.co.uk there was no way the group could mitigate the wider impacts of shutting down roads at busy times of day.
A large queue of traffic on the A102 Blackwall Tunnel approach after activists blocked part of the key route However, the essential worker said if confronted with a blockade her approach would be to try and reason with the demonstrators, who have declared the M25 ‘a place of non-violent civil resistance to stop our government committing crimes against humanity’.
They want the government to introduce a national programme to insulate homes in order to reduce carbon emissions, saying a failure to act will result in ‘genocide’. The responder said: ‘I do broadly agree with their aims and objectives but the problem is that when you block a road you don’t win many friends.
The paramedic said her colleagues did not support the group’s tactics due to reports of ambulances being blocked and NHS workers being delayed travelling to work.
