activists brought central  traffic to a standstill once again today with a slow march as they ramp up their eco campaign, and were seen laughing and joking with police officers who escorted them. 
The eco-warrior group has been blocking roads by slow-marching along the street, with police following behind them without taking action to stop the disruption. 
Video footage shows protesters walking slowly outside the Barbican centre holding banners saying 'just stop new oil' while chanting 'no new oil, no new gas'. 
Oscar Bailey, 26, from London said: 'I'm taking action because I'm tired of government inaction on the biggest issue of our generation, possibly in the history of our species.

We know the problem, we know the solution, as a society we just need to enact it.' 
The activists' campaign for the government to end all new oil and gas has seen direct, disruptive action which has included blocking roads and targeting famous works of art. 
Alex De Koning, a spokesman for Just Stop Oil, told that targeting  artworks 'marked an escalation' in the group's action and warned it will 'continue to escalate unless the government meets our demand'.

The 24-year-old added: 'If things need to escalate then we're going to take inspiration from past successful movements and we're going to do everything we can.
'If that's unfortunately what it needs to come to, then that's unfortunately what it needs to come to.
'We're fighting for our lives, why would we do any less?'
Asked if future protests could involve slashing artwork, he said: 'It could potentially come to that at one point in the future, yeah.' 
De Koning, who describes himself as a 'climate scientist' said the activists could follow the suffragettes who 'violently slashed paintings in order to get their messages across'. 
De Koning, who according to took a break from his PhD in green hydrogen production at the University of Newcastle, also confirmed more disruption is planned in the lead up to Christmas.

Ms Brocklebank received a 21-day sentence and has been suspended for six months.

However, she is subject to an electronically monitored six-week curfew.  Meanwhile, Mr McKechnie has been jailed for three weeks.
