These pose a danger to police
The eco-warriors are in the middle of a two-week demonstration to bring London to a grinding halt to try and force the Government to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.
The group has been photographed super-gluing themselves to government department buildings, handcuffing themselves to cars and climbing on roofs and planes.
Another method the leftie-group has used is putting their arms in tubes and locking themselves in.
Police have said the protesters are hiding blades and nails in the tube to make it harder to cut them out.
“What we’ve found is the protesters are making it a little bit more harder and dangerous for us and might have nails in it, blades in it and any type of sharp metal in the concrete.”
Extinction Rebellion London replied:”We sympathise with the police on duty, no-one wants to be here.
“We are peaceful, we ask for understanding & restraint. Government inaction on the climate emergency is bad for the police too. “
So, see, it’s Someone Else’s fault, not XR’s fault.
Metropolitan Police chief Cressida Dick said the force has been “stretched” by Extinction Rebellion public nuisance tactics, impeding its ability to respond to other crimes.
As the first week of demonstrations winds down, the Met said they have arrested more than 1,200 protesters as the force was also dealing with the fatal stabbings of two teenagers in the city within a matter of hours.
Metropolitan Police chief Cressida Dick said the force has been “stretched” by Extinction Rebellion public nuisance tactics, impeding its ability to respond to other crimes.
Dame Cressida said she hoped the protesters would choose to either “protest lawfully” or “go home” after their “failure to take and occupy the streets that they wanted to”.
She said: “If they do that then of course I can deploy many of my officers back to the streets, back to the neighbourhoods, back to the schools, back to the wards of the people of London.
But, they won’t. And you know what will happen, the violence will soon start showing up, as it always does from leftist groups.
They’re all nuts
JEREMY CLARKSON Extinction Rebellion forget dole money, tents and yoga mats all come from… oil
They lie there in the road, in their tinfoil facemasks and their hazmat suits and their red hoods, with oxygen tanks on their backs, assuming normal people will work out what all this stuff means.
Yeah. That the person wearing it is mad.
I know this symbolism makes perfect sense when you’re 18 and sitting in a hemp-infused tent.
But it looks idiotic to people who are not, what’s the word, stoned.
And then there’s all the “woke†nonsense. Standing on one leg on a plastic yoga mat on Westminster Bridge. And staging a lesbian wedding. And sobbing because you’ve just watched a documentary starring John Cusack and you think a tidal wave’s coming. (snip)
That high-visibility jacket you’re wearing. And your shoes. And that terrible tent you’re living in. And the screen on your mobile phone. And the stickers on your laptop case. All of it is made from oil and gas.
You stand there with your placard saying fracking is suicide but you don’t realise, because you’re a halfwit, that without fracking there’d be no ethane. And without ethane, there’d be no elasticity in your underpants. So they’d fall down all the time.
And no yoga mats. Cell phones. Clothes. Seriously, who’s paying for this? Are they on the public dole, or just rich, and mostly white, upperclass twits?
It would have been so cool if the airliner to which the idiot glued himself had simply taken off anyway. The only question is whether he’d have frozen to death before he suffocated at 35,000 feet.
