So who ARE eco protesters holding capital to ransom?
CARE WORKER
JANE augsburger, 54, from Stroud, Gloucestershire, was one of those arrested for criminal damage outside Shell’s headquarters on Monday.

PROUD PARENT
KATERINA Hasapopoulos, 40, superglued herself to the Shell headquarters on Monday.
Before her arrest, the mother-of-three said: ‘Shell is already responsible for destroying lives in places like nigeria. Shell cares only for profit and I have three beautiful young girls who I want to see grow up to have a future.’
She has previously attended Stroud Town council to ask questions about climate change.
MOTORWAY MARAUDER
SIMON Bramwell, 46, also from Stroud, is a co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, and a former builder. He was taken away in a police van after supergluing himself to the Shell HQ on Monday. He was part of a group of fanatics who brought the M4 to a standstill in protest at plans to expand Heathrow in 2016. The bush craft instructor said ‘hearing less birds’ convinced him to form a ‘punchier’ environmental movement.
JET DISMANTLER
ANGIE Zelter, 76, was arrested yesterday and carried off waterloo Bridge after refusing to budge. The veteran protester has been arrested over 100 times across the world and describes herself as a ‘global citizen’.

THE GODMOTHER
DR Gail Bradbrook, 47, is described as ‘ the godmother’ of Extinction Rebellion. She became an activist as a result of taking psychedelic drugs. Dr Bradbrook, who has a PhD in molecular biophysics, said drugs ‘rewired’ her brain and gave her ‘the codes of social change’. She holds ‘moon circles’ in a tepee, where she ingests mugwort.
