Eco-mob shuts DOWN Tower Bridge as activist abseils down tourist attraction – causing traffic CHAOS in London

“SELFISH” protesters have suspended themselves from London’s Tower Bridge during this morning’s rush hour.

Two members of the eco-mob were seen dangling from the landmark – closing it in both directions and bringing the capital to a standstill.

They also draped a huge 22 metre banner reading “end fossil fuels now” over the side of the iconic structure.

Police then closed the route, causing severe delays.

One man, on his way to work at a hospital, blasted the environmental activists for halting his journey.

He said on Twitter: “These lot think it’s ok to block Tower Bridge from all traffic. Selfish.”

The green gang, which struck at around 7.30am, are understood to be from Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion.

Both have blockaded oil terminals and let the air of out the tyres of fuel tankers over the past week in an attempt to save the planet.

Just Stop Oil yesterday said more than 400 of its activists had been arrested in the last eight days.
