If the Police will NOT do their job, then the public will!

This driver is a real hero. Salute to his heroism. 🙏🙏

Give that man an OBE! He's got more spine than London's entire police force.

Don't worry everybody, I know this looked a bit rough (or possibly violent) but rest assured, the van was not scratched or harmed in any way.

“How dare he try to run over us while we’re in his way!”

[sebasteanjanzen]

That was the most polite "ploughing through a crowd" ive ever seen..

[DaNinja]

He didn't plow fast enough. I liked how people hold on like they can stop you. 😂

What if an ambulance with someone being shuttled to the hospital were trying to get through? I would think the people blocking the road should be in jail.

Looks to me like he is being, harassed and intimidated by these extremists trying to stop his van and potentially causing him harm. I think he did the best thing by warning them and driving on.

Violence against stop oil? Are you kidding me!!!! They should be locked up in jail for stopping traffic!!!

[ProCoN]

The van driver needs a round of applause

[TheMiket]

I don’t understand why all drivers don’t do this. 10 points for each one.

The driver was actually polite to them and warned them in advance as he went along. He didn't just plough through as the title suggests.

"Man carefully drives away from criminals trying to kidnap him". There, I fixed your headline.

[timothycheuvront]

If you intentionally place yourself in the path of any moving vehicle, you accept the consequences!

[chuckmorrison]

Well done. He escaped those crazy vandals trying to damage his property. If the police refuse to do their jobs then citizens will do it for them.

[EarnYourCitizenship]

Totally understandable, especially when you consider that the Police repeatedly refuse to deal with the activists blocking roads using existing legislation.
We are being put in the position of having to take action for ourselves.

[Borna]

Look at that violence. But the van driver still stays pretty calm.

[DarrenStarr]

He was afraid for his safety and so did his best to escape the angry crowd.

Buy this bloke a pint. We need to see more of this.
