NHS worker pleads with Insulate Britain eco-mob to stop blocking roads so he ...

This is the moment a desperate NHS worker urged shameless members of Insulate Britain's eco-mob to stop blocking a road so he could 'get home' to his child as the hated group continued to block roads in the capital.

In the clip obtained by LBC, the animated male can be seen pleading with the eco-zealots to move out of the road on Vauxhall, London, telling them their method of protest was 'not right'.

As his tone becomes more exasperated while he watches police officers stand idly to the side, the man repeats: 'Don't block the road! I need to get home to my child. 

'I need to get home, please. You have to think about people as well.

It comes as hundreds of Insulate Britain activists forced Lambeth Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge, London to close as they protested against the jail terms given to their road-blocking comrades. The supporters claim the nine jailed activists are 'political prisoners' and 'will not be the last to be locked up.'

The hated eco-group marched throughout the city on Saturday afternoon, blocking roads and causing chaos for thousands of commuters in the capital while chanting: 'What do we want? Climate justice. When do we want it? Now.' 

At around 5pm, the Metroplitan Police announced that they had barred protestors from Lambeth Bridge under the terms of the Public Order Act, and urged those in attendance to 'leave the bridge' on Twitter.

They added: 'Lambeth Bridge remains shut as does Vauxhall Bridge southbound and some of Vauxhall Cross. We are working to get the roads re-opened ASAP.' 

Pictures showed members of the eco-mob being forcibly dragged away by police officers, while others returned to their usual road-blocking ways with signs that read: 'Betrayed by my government'. 

Nice members of the group was jailed this week and will spend Christmas behind bars for breaching an injunction designed to prevent the road blockades which brought the country to a standstill for weeks on end.

Emma Smart, 44 - who will be housed in Europe's largest women's prison which is home to murderers and child rapists - was handed a four-month sentence alongside Ben Buse, 36, Roman Paluch-Machnik, 28, Oliver Rock, 41, Tim Speers, 36, and James Thomas, 47, for taking part in a protest on the M25 on October 8. 

Ana Heyatawin, 58, and Louis McKechnie, 20, were sent to prison for three months, while Ben Taylor, 27, was jailed for six months after boasting he would immediately block the roads again if not imprisoned. 

On Saturday afternoon, campaigners blocked off Lambeth Bridge with a sit-down demonstration which quickly saw police divert traffic to other routes. 

Insulate Britain has said it intends to continue its hated protests, which have sparked anger among motorists and others affected by the blockades, until the Government agrees to insulate homes.

The High Court has so far issued five injunctions to prevent protesters from blocking roads.

TfL was granted a civil banning order aimed at preventing protesters from obstructing traffic on some of the capital's busiest roads. 

Gabriella Ditton, 27, an animator from Norwich, said she has been arrested six times with Insulate Britain, including once for breaking the injunction. She said: 'I expect to go to prison at some point for at least six months because I am not going to be apologetic about this.

'I have known for a couple of years that the only thing that is going to serve us is civil resistance. I have faith in people coming together. Solutions to this crisis exist, we just need the political will to do it.' 

A campaigner, who would only give her name as Gully, told some 200 supporters who gathered outside London's Royal Courts of Justice: 'Make no mistake, these are political prisoners and they will not be the last.'

Insulate Britain began a wave of protests in September and has blocked the M25, roads in London including around Parliament, and across Birmingham, Manchester, and the Port of Dover in Kent.

In a warning directed towards the heavy police presence around the event, Gully said: 'These streets are ours and we will put one foot in front of the other, and dare you to stop us.'

She added: 'You can jail the resistor but not the resistance.'

The group, watched closely by uniformed officers, then set off for a protest walk around nearby central London streets towards Westminster chanting 'power to the people'.

Cheers rang out during the walk as a campaigner told the crowd, 'good people have a duty to disobey bad laws'.
