Love, Anger and Betrayal

Jonathon Porritt has been a life-long campaigner on environmental issues, and in this book celebrates the work of Just Stop Oil's young activists over its three-year history. He writes in his Introduction that he is 'a huge admirer of the26 young activists who I've worked with to co-create‘NHTBL’. I've interviewed them all, read about them all extensively, follow some in detail as their legal processes unfolded, visited some inprison, and have got to know some as real friends. At the age of 74, I'm 50 years older than most of them, and it's been a privilege to be able to do something at this age that profoundlychanges the way one sees the world.'In ten chapters Porritt examines the background to the protest movement and supplies profiles and testimonials of 26 activists who ended up serving prison sentences for their part in the protest movement.
