The judge was right when he said during the grandmother’s sentencing Age, I regret, has not brought wisdom.

The family and friends of a Just Stop Oil campaigner jailed for 20 months for bringing the M25 to a standstill and causing 50,000 hours of disruption has complained they will ‘miss her childcare’.

Gaie Delap, 77, from Bristol, is one of five environmental activists who took part in peaceful direct action over four days in November 2022 which saw supporters from Just Stop Oil climb multiple gantries over the M25. 

The protest caused long delays for motorists and even prevented one man from missing his father’s funeral.

The Daily Mail reports Delap is a grandmother who was sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison for participating in Just Stop Oil’s efforts to block the M25 highway two years ago.

Ultimately, Gaie Delap should have known better than to conduct this ridiculous act. Now she has caused her family financial hardship resulting from her stupidity.
