During the Saturday afternoon (April 26) programme, Kush defended Just Stop Oil and argued: "We take responsibility for our actions. "We stand there and we are held accountable, the people that care about all of these issues could take part in civil disobedience campaigns but they choose not to because they know the punishment that they will face."

Henry responded: "If I was advising you, I'd say don't alienate yourselves," as he continued: "You've got a cause," Kush interrupted: "But civil disobedience has never been popular.

"The Suffragettes were not popular, the Civil Rights activists were not popular."

The spokesperson interjected: "There are not two different views," which prompted commentator Matthew Stadlen to echo: "There are not two different views, there is a lot of misinformation out there."
