Well, folks, Just Stop Oil have finally packed it in - rejoice. After a three-year war against Britain’s commuters, the climate crusaders have decided to call time on their disruptive protests and are hanging up their infamous orange tee-shirts. This is a smart move. For starters, the Daily Express revealed last year that their ghastly tees are made 4000 miles away in the Dominican Republic before they’re transported to the UK. Yes, you read that correctly.

The other reason it’s time for the JSO mob to bin their activist outfits is that earlier this month Ed Miliband confirmed their chief demand - the banning of all new oil and gas licences - is now government policy.

Of course, the JSO hierarchy present this as evidence that they ran one of “the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history”. Tripe. Ed the Eco-Warrior is the darling of the progressive metropolitan class, the toast of Islington dinner parties. Ask anyone of that stripe whether they back a ban on new oil and gas licences and they think you’re mad for even asking the question. JSO can tell themselves that it was their ego-trip protests that forced Miliband’s hand, but you’ll have a hard time convincing me he didn’t believe in outlawing new oil and gas all by himself.

Anyhow, JSO are no more and so Britain’s motorists can breathe a sigh of relief, right? Wrong. See, it turns out the UK’s production line of self-absorbed middle-class protest-brats is running smoothly; JSO offshoot Youth Demand is ramping up for a wave of action that will make the road-blocking demos of recent years appear like a minor inconvenience.

Youth Demand, which is calling on the UK Government to impose a trade embargo on Israel and introduce a super-tax on the wealthy to “pay damages” to the “global south”, says it is planning to “shut down” London every day in April.

Last month, Daily Express secretly recorded one of the group’s founders, Leeds University drop-out Sam Holland, boasting that protesters from five cities will “swarm the capital day, after day, after day”. I'm sure that will win people round to their cause.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘I don’t live in London, so who cares?’. Well, this website also caught Mr Holland bragging that Youth Demand’s actions will cost the “Met Police millions of pounds”. Four-fifths of the Met's funding comes from central government - meaning you and me, whether we live in London or not. So even if you’re not stuck in a Youth Demand traffic jam, you’re footing the bill for it.

JSO may be dead and buried, but there’s a new band of narcissists poised to take their place.
