Eco protestors CANCEL raves planned for the middle of the M25 as wild weather warnings still in place after Storm Eunice
ECO protesters have cancelled a series of raves planned on the roads this weekend as wild weather warnings remain in place after Storm Eunice.
Insulate Britain activists were preparing to unite with anarchy groups to party around the M25 at midday today.
But the demo is understood to have been cancelled by the bad weather as the UK braces for more wind and snow over the weekend in the wake of Eunice.
The 16-hour rave - which would have seen four themed music stages set up at unnamed locations on the M25 - have now been postponed until April 2 at midday.
The protests aimed to highlight the developments on oil and gas price rises and the cost-of-living crisis in general.
Dancing eco warriors face jail for breaching a ban on protesting on the London orbital.
The “Staying Alive on the M25” bash was set up via Facebook - with around 430 people vowing to attend the "biggest party of 2022".
Insulate Britain, which organised blockades on roads last year, said it is not the instigator of the raves, but it is “inspired by the campaign”.
