A Just Stop Oil protester has criticised fellow activists, railing against them for being too "white and middle-class."
The eco-warrier, referred to as Olive, told other members of the group that they were living in a "student bubble" and had to attract more people who were not like them.
Olive made the plea for the group to become more diverse which caused some controversy in a weekly meeting of the organisation, attended by a MailOnline reporter.
She was discussing plans for its new youth division, Youth Demand, and the strategy, revealed last week in the MoS, to increasingly target the rich as well as work with pro-Palestine protest groups throughout April.

She said: "One of our key aims in this shift is to break out of this white, middle-class, student bubble that a lot of the time we find ourselves in, and to make our spaces and actions something that all young people want to be a part of.
"This month, we're doing high-profile action to launch our campaign into the headlines.
"In April, from 7th to 11th, young people from across the country are coming together to take action in London.
"They're going to be targeting individuals and institutions who are acting that genocide is acceptable. We're going to show that we're on to them and they cannot hide their crimes."

She added: "We demand politicians stop driving genocide. Oil and gas is genocide. We know what is happening in Palestine is also genocide.
"Twelve thousand children have been murdered. It's the world's first live-stream genocide. Our government is insanely complicit in this."
According to one of the attendants, Just Stop Oil founder Roger Hallam was unable to attend the virtual meeting because of a diary clash with other Left-wing organisations to discuss plans to bring down Labour leader, Sir Kier Starmer.
On Sunday, JSO and Palestinian activists are set to meet for a "mass civil disobedience action" in London city centre.

In November, the Met Police confirmed that there were no offences linked to the Cenotaph committed by Just Stop Oil activists.
In a statement, the force said: "Around 100 arrests were made by officers along Whitehall during another day of disruption by Just Stop Oil.
"These arrests were made for breaching section seven of the Public Order Act at various points between Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square, including near to the Cenotaph.
"No protester glued themselves to the road. There were no offences linked to the Cenotaph."
