George Hibberd, part of group convicted of obstruction, told court he gave up ‘dream job’ because airline was unwilling to tackle climate crisis

A former easyJet pilot who sat in the road outside Harrods to cause traffic chaos told a court he left his job because he thought he was contributing to climate change.

George Hibberd, 29, was part of a group of about 20 Just Stop Oil (JSO) activists who protested outside the world famous store in Knightsbridge, London.
