Just Stop Oil GP jailed for smashing petrol pumps

A GP has been jailed for smashing petrol pumps with a hammer and chisel as part of a Just Stop Oil protest.

Dr Patrick Hart, 38, cracked the display panels of 16 pumps at Esso Thurrock Services on the M25 on August 24 2022.

The GP from Bristol says his actions were to demand an end to new licences and consents for oil and gas projects in the UK.

Footage shows Dr Hart's actions during the protest.
