Don’t forget to check the context though !
Well it didn't take long for Stop Oil to resurface or rather re-brand themselves. I think this one was about Israel but as Greta has shown these activists are keen to broaden and appeal to the left.

Arrests over paint thrown on Tower Bridge during London Marathon
The protesters were arrested and the London Marathon continued uninterrupted across Tower Bridge.

Just stop oil and the Israel/Gaza conflict are clearly completely different issues. I'm also not sure how the latter is a left or right issue.
It is not surprising that protests for different issues use similar tactics. Doesn't mean it's the same people behind them.
Greta (Thunberg, i assume) merely protested peacefully holding a basic sign, so very different from Just Stop Oil tactics.
I think you need to get your facts straight.
It needs repeating. Stop Oil said they were shutting down and that a new group Youth demand was taking over. Youth Demand will protest about climate change and other matters. This is an attempt to broaden the protest movement from eco issues to other left wing causes. Greta tried this and was criticised by many in the green movement for trying to deflect their supporters into non eco areas.
They have every right to form whatever protest group they like but this is classic left wing tactics which is why when Stop Oil said they were stopping I posted that just like Extinction Rebellion before them they were reform under a new banner.
