Climate activists blockade oil supplies at Grangemouth

CLIMATE campaigners blockaded Scotland’s fuel supplies at Grangemouth today in their action against oil companies.

This is Rigged activists blocked gates at two oil terminals as well as climbing pipework and tankers — effectively blockading all Scottish petrol supplies — as they campaign to “shut down Scotland’s oil industry.”

At 4am today, 24 protesters began their action at Ineos Grangemouth. An hour later the plant, which supplies 70 per cent of Scotland’s supplies, was brought to a standstill.
