[Extinction Rebellion]

EXTINCTION Rebellion activists blocked the entrance to the UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) Horse Hill oil extraction site in Surrey today. 

Activists say that the firm has continued to pump oil from the site, despite being denied planning permission by the Supreme Court in June.

The nine protesters slammed Surrey County Council for failing to enforce the ruling and vowed to stop vehicles from entering the premises in protest.
