Two Just Stop Oil demonstrators who scaled a bridge over the Dartford Crossing, causing more than a day of gridlock, have been jailed in prison. During their climate protest on October 17, Morgan Trowland, 40, and Marcus Decker, 36, blocked one of the country's busiest stretches of road for 40 hours. The pair hung a banner between two pillars of the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, which links the M25 in Essex and Kent, and slept in hammocks in freezing temperatures overnight. After arriving down the following day, police were initially arrested because of safety concerns, which resulted in traffic chaos. After being found guilty of causing a public nuisance, Trowland and Decker were sentenced to three years, two years, and seven months today.
