On Saturday, 16th October, 500 people successfully blockaded the UK’s busiest oil refinery for over 7 hours, disrupting the flow of oil to central London.

A diversity of tactics, amazing creative energy, some serious preparation, amazing weather and a cunning plan to outfox the police came together in an inspiring and empowering day of mass direct action that effectively disrupted a critical piece of infrastructure in the UK oil machine.

We gave the oil industry a Crude Awakening: and we’ll be back!
