A group of eco-activists decided to sit in the street and block traffic as people were heading to work and taking their children to school. However, the protest quickly ended when fed-up citizens took matters into their own hands.

As usual, Insulate Britain eco-activists took their protest of the use of fossil fuels to the streets of Essex, intent on preventing traffic on the M25. For the thirteenth time in a month, demonstrators sat in the road, blocking drivers who were dropping off their children at school and heading to work. However, they soon realized their routine was no longer feasible.

As political tensions rise, activists are becoming more creative in their disruptions and less effective in their resolutions. In fact, one of the most despised advocate groups is the climate change demonstrators, due to their harmful tactics and hypocritical behavior.

Just over half an hour after 40 protesters brought traffic to a halt without any intervention from the police, drivers decided to resolve the issue themselves, the Evening Standard reports. Irate civilians hopped out of their vehicles and grabbed activists by their arms, legs, and backpacks, dragging them away one-by-one like petulant toddlers throwing a tantrum.

Although the activists repeatedly attempted to scoot back into the road after being dragged off, they were no match for the determined taxpayers.

One driver said: “Look you’ve made your point but you are going to gridlock the whole area. This is not going to help. My business is on its knees. We have a massive haulage problem in the UK and this is a key point. Look at my warehouse there – how am I going to insulate that?”

Another driver, filmed trying to drag the activists away, barks at the group: “Why aren’t you at work? Why are you just sitting there, please just move. You self-satisfied p***.”
