A furious mother who rammed Insulate Britain activists with her Range Rover after they blocked the road as she tried to take her son to school has been revealed as an entrepreneur who started her own food business during lockdown. Sherrilyn Speid, 34, from Purfleet, Essex, was filmed driving her car into Insulate Britain protesters who were blocking the road by traffic lights at junction 31 of the M25 near Thurrock, on the north side of the Dartford Crossing which links Essex to Kent. The activists were part of a group of more than 40 demonstrators who ran out onto the road by traffic lights on October 13. The footage - filmed by another person at the protest - shows the woman believed to be Ms Speid get out of the Range Rover to confront the protesters. After they refuse to move, she then drove her Range Rover at them - prompting one to scream out in pain. Reacting to footage of the confrontation, Ms Speid wrote on Instagram today: 'I never ran them over, I gave them a nudge. So dramatic man.' Ms Speid was today revealed as an entrepreneur who started a food business during lockdown, providing Caribbean food to the local Essex community. Her business then spread across Essex and London with companies asking her to cater events. Sherrilyn Speid, 34, from Purfleet, Essex, was filmed driving her car into Insulate Britain protesters. She was revealed today as an entrepreneur who started her own food business during lockdown A woman who was infuriated with Insulate Britain protesters blocking the road told them 'I'll drive through you then' After shouting at the protesters, the woman got back into her car and started ramming it towards two protesters sat in front of her vehicle The protester on the right started to scream out in pain before the woman stopped, got out of her car and continued shouting at the protesters The video of Ms Speid, filmed in Thurrock last Wednesday, showed her black Range Rover driving up to the backs of three activists who are sitting on the road holding an Insulate Britain poster. After stopping just centimetres from the back of one protester, the woman, believed to be Ms Speid, got out of her car, ripped the poster from the activists and said: 'Move out the way. I'm not joking. My son needs to get to school and I need to get to work.' As she moved to lean over one of the sitting protesters, she then added: 'Move out the way. Move out the way now.' She then returned to her car while saying: 'I'll drive through you then. My son is 11 and he needs to get to school.' One of the protesters turned to her and said 'you can't drive through us' before the infuriated mother again said her son needed to get to school and she needed to get to work. The protester told Ms Speid 'she understands' and that she is 'sorry' about blocking her route. But the infuriated driver replied: 'Move out the way then. Move out of the way and let me get my son to school.' She then got back into her car and started driving it forwards into the back of the protesters as one shouted 'ow, ow ow, no'. Before driving her vehicle towards protesters sitting on the road, the woman was seen shouting at them A man in a hi-vis jacket signalled to the driver to stop and eventually walked in front of the vehicle as one activist screamed out in pain The incident happened on October 13 as activists from Insulate Britain protested for the 13th time in four weeks Ms Speid then got out of the car again and said: 'Someone needs to move them out of the way. Move out of the way now. You are taking the f***ing p***. My son needs to get to school. I don't care what your f***ing issue is.' A lorry driver was also seen driving his vehicle right up to protesters as irate motorists reacted angrily to Insulate Britain activists who were causing disruption on the roads for the 13th time in four weeks. Essex Police said they made a total of 35 arrests, while a motoring organisation warned Insulate Britain's 'incredibly dangerous' protests could pose a threat to people's lives. RAC road safety spokesman Simon Williams said: ‘However well-intentioned the cause might be, blocking major roads is incredibly dangerous both to the protesters and those inside their vehicles. ‘Not only will this cause disruption to commuters on their way to work, but there may be people who miss hospital appointments or worse still emergency vehicles will be delayed which could pose a threat to life.’ The incident, which took place on the morning of October 13, was the 13th major protest by the eco-zealots in four weeks after the group targeted the M25, the Blackwall Tunnel in London and the Port of Dover - at a time where the country is already facing a major supply chain crisis. The eco-mob are demanding the Government pay to better insulate Britain's social housing stock, but have come under fire over claims one of the group's ringleaders lives in a home which is not properly insulated. Others members of the green group, which last week suspended their 'campaign of civil resistance' ahead of next week's Cop26, have been revealed to have jet-setted across the globe. Government officials meanwhile are attempting to use injunctions and court powers to bring an end to the disruptive protests of the eco-zealots - who have repeatedly bounced from police station to protests with police seemingly unable to stop them. Today, an injunction granted to Transport for London against Insulate Britain protesters has been extended by a High Court judge. London's transport network was granted the order earlier this month, which is aimed at preventing the Extinction Rebellion offshoot from obstructing traffic on some of the capital's busiest roads. It came after the group shut down Old Street, near the hipster enclave of Shoreditch in east London. A judge said the injunction was extended either until a trial is held, a further court order or April 8 next year. The TfL injunction bans the protesters from blocking traffic in various locations across the capital, such as Vauxhall Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Bridge and Chiswick roundabout. It applies to busy London spots including Hanger Lane, the Hammersmith gyratory system, Blackwall Tunnel, the A501 ring road from Edgware Road to Old Street, Staples Corner, Redbridge roundabout and the Kidbrooke interchange. Protesters are also barred from Park Lane, Marble Arch Hyde Park Corner, Elephant and Castle - including all entry and exit roads and the Victoria one-way system.
