Brits face Bank Holiday travel hell as Extinct Rebellion eco-warriors plot to block A40

with a picnic in the road

It comes as the group has caused chaos in the capital, this week as hundreds of activists blocked Oxford Circus, Waterloo Bridge, Parliament Square and Marble Arch - which is believed to have cost businesses millions of pounds.But the group announced they were willing to "pause" the protests and said it would mark "a new phase of rebellion" in a bid to achieve "political aims".

"Week two marks a new phase of rebellion focused on negotiations where the focus will shift to our actual political demands." After more than 680 arrests, Scotland Yard warned that resources were being stretched to breaking point as mass demonstrations run into their sixth day today.Businesses around Oxford Street are thought to have lost tens of millions in revenue from the pink boat demo.

Waterloo Bridge was overrun by activists who set up a make-shift camp on what is among the capital's busiest thoroughfares. Dame Emma added: “One of the things that has happened, consistently, over the decades I’ve been protesting about this is it’s always turned back on the individual.
