Just Stop Oil protesters accused of having 'blood on their hands'

Two women, one a mother of four, died in a crash on the Dartford Bridge

Protesters had closed the bridge in a bid to highlight the need to act on climate change

Just Stop Oil protesters have been accused of having "blood on their hands" after two women were killed in a crash on the Dartford Bridge. The women, who were both in their 40s, died when their car was hit by a lorry on the bridge, which had been closed by protesters.

The protesters, who are demanding that the government stop issuing new oil and gas licenses, had blocked the bridge for several hours. They have been accused of causing "chaos and disruption" and of putting lives at risk.

The deaths of the two women have sparked outrage, with many people calling for the protesters to be charged with manslaughter. The police are investigating the incident and have arrested several protesters.

Just Stop Oil has said that it is "deeply saddened" by the deaths of the two women and that it will be reviewing its protest tactics. The group has said that it will continue to protest against the government's inaction on climate change, but that it will do so in a way that does not put lives at risk.
