PROTESTERS from a climate activist group have 'concreted' themselves to the road outside of a Scots oil terminal for the fourth time in two weeks.

Members of This is Rigged - who opposed all new fossil fuel projects in Scotland - super glued themselves to Powdrake Road, outside Grangemouth.

The group – who are attempting to block tankers from entering the Ineos refinery – are demanding that the Scottish Government vocally oppose all new oil and gas licences, and create a fair and fully funded transition for oil workers.

This is Rigged initially claimed that six people were arrested after chaining themselves to security fencing, while two people trespassed and occupied the site while another two concreted themselves to the road.

The group tweeted: “BREAKING: SCOTLAND’S FUEL SUPPLY BLOCKADED FOR THE FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 2 WEEKS.

“2 people are concreted to Powdrake Rd. 2 have trespassed onto the Grangemouth site and 6 have been arrested chained to security fencing.”

Police Scotland later confirmed that eleven people had, in fact, been arrested. 

The group also shared a video in which two campaigners can be seen lying on the road as police try to remove them.

This is Rigged are known for continuously disrupting First Minister’s Questions and have been increasingly active of late – most recently vandalised a painting of King Charles at the Portrait Gallery of Scotland.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Eleven people have been arrested following a protest at the Ineos site in Grangemouth on Saturday, 29 July, 2023.

“Four women aged 21, 27, 29 and 32 and five men aged 28, 29, 33, 34 and 48 were charged and are due to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Monday, 31 July, 2023.

”Two women, aged 25 and 27, were charged and released on an undertaking to appear at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Wednesday, 23 August. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
