THERE was traffic chaos on the UK's busiest motorway today as eco-morons defied a court order to block the road yet again - while promising drivers of more misery to come.
Oddballs from Insulate Britain formed a barricade on the M25 at Junction 14 near Heathrow just after 8am.
It's the sixth time the group has blocked the motorway in just a fortnight.
At the moment cops were arresting 53 people, leaders of the group were vowing to continue inflicting misery on motorists.
Footage shows fed-up officers dragging hooded dissenters off the road by their arms. The road is now fully clear.
Last week, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced the government has been granted a second injunction that will allow courts to jail those who block roads.
This morning's protest is in direct defiance of the order - meaning the campaigners could be sent to prison.
But despite that, hypocrite spokesman Liam Norton - who became a national laughing stock last week after storming off Good Morning Britain - vowed he and his fellow green loons "aren't going anywhere".
"You can deny us our liberty and put us behind bars. But that's only shooting the messenger," he said."You can throw as many injunctions at us as you like, but we are going nowhere."
Today, Susanna Reid said the group has "brought misery to motorists" at a time when petrol pumps are running dry and supermarket chiefs warn shelves could be bare at Christmas.
Announcing the news on GMB, she said members are "ignoring threats of jail".
"They say they're happily accepting the consequences of their actions today," she said.
"You're putting yourself at risk, you're putting drivers at risk. This is potentially really dangerous."
Just days ago, she clashed with Liam in the studio after accusing him of patronising her. It happened as he awkwardly tried to swerve discussing The Sun's exclusive revelation that his own home isn't insulated.
Speaking on LBC today, Insulate Britain spokesperson Tracey Mulligan said: "We have certainly got everybody talking about insulation."
And she said Priti Patel is "just trying to scare" demonstrators.
'IT'S DANGEROUS'
"You can't put an injunction on hunger, you can't put an injunction on physics, and we are terrified for our children's future," she said.
Meanwhile, Craig Scudders of the group told Kay Burley on Sky: "We were told that if we went back on the M25 we'd be arrested, face losing our savings, have our homes taken away and possibly spend years in prison.
"But we're on the right side of this argument. Priti Patel, I have a message for you - we are going nowhere. There is going to be wave after wave of protesters willing to spend time in prison."
It comes days after protesters glued their hands to lorries at the Port of Dover - right in the middle of the country's HGV driver shortage.
Campaigners are calling for the British government to ensure all homes are better insulated.
They claim 8,500 people a year die unnecessarily in the UK because of cold homes.
And there have been fiery scenes as furious motorists respond to each one of the group's blockades.
Today, one woman got out of her car to tell campaigners: "I've got to feed my kids now.
"I need my money now, to feed my kids now, but you don't get that. You don't get it.
"If you did, you wouldn't be blocking normal people like me, trying to get to work to feed my kids. You're ridiculous."
Meanwhile, as Kent Police arrested 39 people last week, drivers forced to wait clapped and cheered while one shouted: "Insulate Britain? From what?
"We need insulating from you."
Dover town councillor Neil Rix, who owns N.T.Rix Scaffolding and Demolition, told Kent Online: "I've got lorries and staff stuck in it. It's an absolute nuisance to be honest.
"We've got contractors waiting for scaffolding to go up but we've got three lorries stuck and around 23 people.
"It's costing us thousands of pounds.
'WE'VE GOT EVERYONE TALKING'
"It is just causing interruptions for every person in town. It's not fair and it's not right. Before you know it all the roads in town will be blocked.
"It's so selfish of them. It's costing money when we're trying to get through a pandemic.
"I don't suppose these people are from Dover."
A Government spokesman blasted the campaigners last week.
"Peaceful protest is a cornerstone of our democracy and there will always be space for people to make their voices heard, but that is not on busy roads or at a vital port, putting lives at risk," he said.
"The demonstrations we have seen over the last few weeks have wreaked havoc on our roads, disrupted thousands of people and put lives in danger, and we are taking action to prevent these kinds of guerrilla tactics being used in the future."
