Just Stop Oil has boasted about its achievements in 2023 as it rallies eco-zealots to wreak more chaos.
The group was behind a number of disruptive incidents in 2023, including at Wimbledon and during a performance of Les Miserables.
Footage from a number of incidents was uploaded to social media just hours before the New Year.
Accompanying the video, Just Stop Oil’s caption said: “In 2023, hundreds of ordinary people continued in civil resistance against our genocidal Government.

“Arrested for singing at Rishi Sunak’s house and threatened with arrest for carol singing.”
The video ended up a plea for ecozealots to join the disruptive campaign in 2024.
Hundreds of Just Stop Oil protesters were arrested in 2023, including 16 who staged a protest outside the Prime Minister’s west London home.

The Metropolitan Police recently confirmed Just Stop Oil’s campaign cost Scotland Yard £20million.

“I would much, much prefer to be using that within communities.
Just Stop Oil have been causing disruption as The Open loomsPA"These officers should be responding to local communities and dealing with local issues instead of being taken away to police Just Stop Oil protests."
He added: "When [JSO] talk about slow marches, it is in everything other than name an attempt to block the road and cause maximum disruption to people right across London.
"Our desire is that Just Stop Oil come forward and speak with us, so we can actually work with them.
"We absolutely understand and support the fundamental right to protest within a democratic society, but what we've got to do is balance that right with the rights of everybody else who is using this city."
However, a spokesperson for Just Stop Oil responded by arguing: “The police must know that unless steps are taken to prevent the extraction of new oil and gas, they will be on the frontlines of dealing with social breakdown and mass civil unrest.”
