ECO yobs are plotting a month of commuter misery for April — and are looking to raise £40,000 to support their plans. Left-wing fanatics Youth Demand have begun collecting cash to support what it calls its “action takers” to trigger a 30-day transport meltdown. But after police chiefs said they would support protesters’ rights, MPs and lords last night demanded urgent action to stop disruption.
The group — campaigning over the climate and rights for Palestinians — is led by lefty students including Just Stop Oil activist Sam Holland, 22. She said: “It is our strategy to shut down London every day in April to force action on the Palestinian and climate genocides.”. Youth Action, who last year sprayed the Ministry of Defence HQ with paint, says it needs to fund its “biggest civil disobedience campaign”, and expects to spend £75,000 in March and April.
Its appeal is to cover £25,000 in living expenses for eight people working “full-time in mobilisation, action and media teams”, with £7,500 to book venues. Another £5,500 is earmarked for “accommodation and food for action takers” and £2,000 on legal support. Supporters have already contributed nearly £2,000. The group vowed to shut down London, saying: “There can be no business as usual whilst Starmer trades with a genocidal state.”.

The UK’s newly appointed trade envoy to Israel Lord Austin said: “The police must take urgent action to stop these deluded and selfish children immediately.”. Tory MP Sir John Hayes added: “They threaten us and intend to make working people’s lives a misery.”. The Met Police said: “We will support the right to peacefully protest but where groups attempt to cause serious disruption we will take appropriate action.”ᐧ.
