An Insulate Britain eco-zealot is going on hunger strike in prison after she and eight others were jailed on Wednesday for their roadblocking demos. Emma Smart (left outside court and main image posing with her husband before their world tour in a diesel-powered 4x4) was handed a four-month sentence alongside Ben Buse, 36, Roman Paluch-Machnik, 28, Oliver Rock, 41, Tim Speers, 36, and James Thomas, 47, for taking part in a protest on the M25 on October 8. Ana Heyatawin, 58, and Louis McKechnie, 20, were jailed for three months. Smart told the court that the proceedings were 'obscene' and glowered at barristers representing National Highways. However, the biologist has been criticised for undertaking a gas-guzzling 81,000-mile drive across the globe with her husband Andy Smith. Mail.
