JUST Stop Oil activists at a Cop27 protest in Guildhall Square have said the event and similar rallies ‘don’t work’ – as activists say they have no choice but to engage in more active civil resistance.

It comes as hundreds of members of the group have been arrested during protests across the year, including two Portsmouth residents.

Despite the legal ramifications, Just Stop Oil remains committed to direct action to draw attention to the inaction of the government in tackling climate change, according to activist George Hibberd.
