Family of jailed Insulate Britain yob who started fundraiser to pay his rent are worth MILLIONS
THE family of an Insulate Britain yob started a fundraiser to pay his rent while he is in jail — even though they are worth millions.
Oliver Rock, 42, was jailed for breaching a High Court injunction last week.
He describes himself as a hard-up stage-set carpenter but he is the son of a multi- millionaire soft drinks tycoon.
His sister Isabel has now launched the plea for cash to cover his £700-a-month rent while he is behind bars, claiming he has no savings.
Dad Hugh, 68, founded and sold Rocks Drinks and is worth more than £2.5million and lives in a £1million country house.
He said: “His rich daddy is not paying, I’ve got five other children to support. He is meant to be an independent person. He is 41, after all.
“I think that the crowd funding is fair enough. They were all campaigning for a common cause that will affect us all.
“I’m just really proud of him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does it again.”
Mr Rock, of Twyford, Berks, said before being sentenced to four months for blocking the M25 and other roads: “I feel terrified — I’m c***ping myself and feel like crying.”
