Semi-naked climate change protesters cause a stir in Brexit debate
A group of semi-naked climate change protesters created a stir in Britain’s parliament on Monday, pressing their bottoms against a glass panel overlooking the chamber where MPs struggled to concentrate on a Brexit debate.
As MPs started yet another day of lengthy debate on how or even whether the country should leave the European Union, 12 protesters stripped to their underpants to show slogans painted on their backs, including: “Climate justice now.â€
Several MPs could not stop themselves from looking up towards the public gallery, some giggling as Labour MP Peter Kyle tried to defend his bid for force the government to stage a confirmatory vote on its Brexit deal by pointing out what he called the “naked truthâ€.
Some protestors appeared to have glued themselves to the glass, while at least two were dressed up as elephants.
On their bodies were written the words “Climate justice act now†and “eco collapseâ€.
Why can’t the ones who do this be attractive? Why do they always look like the don’t get exercise and only eat tofu? Why do they think this kind of childish stunt will help their position?

The group who did this, Extinction Rebellion, is just getting nuttier and nuttier.
