Last year, Trowland and his fellow activist Marcus Decker scaled the Dartford Crossing to protest climate complacency. Now, from prison, he says it was worth it

Pressure is mounting over the sentences of Just Stop Oil (JSO) protestors Marcus Decker and Morgan Trowland. Both scaled the Queen Elizabeth II Suspension Bridge, stopping traffic for almost 40 hours in October 2022. Decker was imprisoned for two years and seven months, for “public nuisance”, and Trowland for three years. These are the longest sentences ever given to non-violent protestors in the UK.

Just Stop Oil activist Phoebe Plummer has been given six months in jail — on remand, until 16 May 2024 — without even being convicted. Plummer has already served a month on remand, late last year, after throwing soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers picture (no damage to it). Since then Plummer has had an ankle bracelet as part of bail conditions, confined to student accommodation except for 12 hours a day for classes. The new spell in jail is for breaking those bail conditions to go on a march.
