Extinction Rebellion protesters have climbed onto a Shell oil tanker in London as the group continues with its series of ‘disruptions’ in the capital.

Activists are believed to have glue themselves onto the top of the container at a petrol station in Bayswater, near Paddington.

The eco-mob group, who have pledged to bring chaos and huge disruption to London’s street, unfurled banners reading ‘End fossil fuels now’.

Police are currently attempting to remove them.

In a tweet about the protest, XR said: ‘Rebels including Olympians Etienne Stott & Laura Baldwin are occupying an oil tanker in central London.

‘We call on the govt to end all new #FossilFuels investment NOW.’

It comes after members of the eco-mob blocked four of London’s busiest bridges on the first day of the Easter bank holiday.

Hundreds of Extinction Rebellion activists were on Waterloo, Blackfriars, Lambeth and Westminster bridges, calling for an end to new fossil fuel investments.

Demonstrators played bongos and waved banners reading ‘end fossil fuels now’ and ‘love in action’ in front of queues of traffic.
