The busy shopping areas of Marble Arch, Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus have been targeted as activists set out to create a"festival" of action including people's assemblies, performances, talks, workshops and food.
The movement hopes to prompt the government to take urgent action on climate change and wildlife declines.It has received support from actress and activist Dame Emma Thompson, who previously said of the demonstrations:"It is time to stand up and save our home."Speaking at a mediation on Sunday night, he said:"We are here tonight to declare that we do not wish to be at war."We wish to make peace with ourselves by making peace with our neighbour Earth and with our God.
A TfL spokesman said:"The safety of our customers and staff is our number one priority and we're working closely with the police to manage the impact on London's transport network."We would encourage people to check their journeys before they travel.
Envitonmentalists show yobish behaviours in London, unlike the motorcyclists and leave supporters .
Idiots. Notre Dame is burning and these clueless fools think they're important.
This would be the best use of Boris Johnson's water cannons....
Don’t see how blocking helps as it causes an increase in pollution from blocked traffic 🙄.
Look at state of them!!! Build a new missile base they can all jog onto that instead in their big dirty campervans👋👋
Leave her there sooner or later she will want to use the toilet and won’t be able to through her own fault keep wasting tax payers money when there’s real crime to fight it’s a disgrace
spray em with slurry
Wonder how they got to London? 🤔 🚗? 🚌? ✈️? They all take ⛽️.
there's a picture to be proud of.......not! Maybe the headline should be ' environmental activists smashing and damaging property in central London'?
No doubt the ones who don't get arrested will at the end of it all jump into their petrol guzzling motors and drive home
Fight climate change by using aerosols to get your message across 🤣😂
Smashing windows and spraying graffiti is really going to help their cause ? 🙄
That looks like a good criminal damage but what's the mayor saying, ohhhhh he saying it's good to see the dep/mayor in vauxhall today with officer's with work over Easter. You don't have a clue what is going on fools blocking roads and you talk crap
Charge them and let’s move on.
Why destroy the property !! This is crazy !! Does not add up !!
They’re not activists, they are vandals and criminals and should be dealt with accordingly. There’s no excuse to belittle your argument with that stupid behaviour. You will never get a fair hearing. 🤷♀️ just a thought.
They should be at work unless they are protesting and claiming unemployment benefits and disrupting people who are working.
LOL
Where Are the police, that window didn't break on its own. Shocking behaviour.
This is what water canons we’re invented for wankers
The Media should stop giving these time wasters air time.
Yes, they've descended upon the city too. More tye dye and hessian tote then you could shake a stick at.
This be a good day for benefit investigators to question them. Are you working? Are you claiming dole if yes why ain't you looking for work? Etc....
Amazing the images of vandalism in your report
Another jobseekers day out .......
Put em inside for a week, they’ll be back at college with daddy’s credit card in no time! 🤫😂👍
Crazy deluded idiots. Climate change is a myth. Jail the lot of them
So now lorries will have to be driven at the environments expense in to town covered in the new windows to replace the 'climate activists' damage. So how is the helpful.?
They need to act like responsible adults and go to work. Smashing windows won’t achieve anything at all
Environmental activists creating chaos and ignoring the fact that Michael Gove is leading the way in environmental reform
Not a problem having a peaceful protest but to threaten workers and cause criminal damage is totally unacceptable and hope they feel the full force of the law. The same as any other criminal! Their actions today have made no positive change, only a negative one!
They have just lost the argument with that behaviour .
Get the kettle on ! dilinquents
So they are rioters then not Environmental Activists. Charge them accordingly
Take it all these people are on easter holidays - so not losing any pay. Prefering instead to protest & screw up hard working peoples jobs & lives. Really socialist of them & will not make any difference what so ever. Pathetic!
I’ve said B4, this lady & her kind, all that needs to happen is they have their Utilities cut off. Let’s see how Green these 🤡s are then ! They are hypocrites using Gas water WiFi mobiles themselves! BBCPolitics nooouch ClimateAction
And causing more traffic fumes by holding up the traffic
Make them pay for the damage
And allowing cars to pollute the capital. Loving the trees though. And non violent? That’s no fun. Nothing better than a few tree huggers getting thumped
The unemployed have to do something to keep busy, if it's not anti brexit hissy fits then it's climate change. You think their time would be better spent job hunting
👏👏👏
Left wing liberal campaigners who use their end to justify their means. These are no different to gangs of youths who go around terrorising innocent members of society. By resorting to vandalism, they nullify their reason to protest.
Overheating About Global Warming
I expect they drove home afterwards, powering on the oven for a spot of lunch while their iPhones charged.
prison
So this is the UK and recently any bad behaviour makes people a terrorist in 'these times' so why haven't they been shot dead? Is it too extreme? I think window smashing during a protest is extreme. One extreme deserves another. Especially that old bitch.
Smash a window meaning someone’s going to have to load up a van, collect panels of glass and transport it etc. I’m assuming it won’t be emotion free to make it. Idiots like this make themselves look stupid. Better ways to protest
I hope the police beat them of the roads.
Lock Them Up and throw away the key Someone could have been seriously injured.
Macron and his henchmen would sort these out in no time
how is smashing a window going to help
“Environmental activists” You mean thugs causing criminal damage surely!? 😳
Blocking again?.
Swampies
Lock em up and charge with criminal damage
Smashing windows and causing traffic jams? I understand the cause but no need to be absolute militants 🤦🏻♂️
