Just Stop Oil spokesman Nathan McGovern spoke with LBC presenter Tom Swarbick about how the radio station had handled a message from the action group. As McGovern spoke, he took a tube of glue from his pocket, smeared it on his hand, and grabbed the microphone.
‘Platform not used enough’
“For the listeners wondering about the thumping they’re hearing right now, Mr. McGovern seems to be… have you stuck your hand to the mic now? That’s fantastic!” said Swarbick.

McGovern then explained to the presenter that he feels he is not using the station’s “huge platform” enough to show the effects of climate change. “In a situation like this I have to pick up the microphone and tell people what situation we are in because people like you won’t,” the spokesperson said.
Tie to goal post
It was not the first time that Just Stop Oil has made itself heard in a playful way. Less than two weeks ago, a campaigner ran onto the pitch during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Liverpool and tied himself to the goal post. With such actions, Just Stop Oil wants to persuade the British government to put a stop to projects involving fossil fuels.
