Time wasters there is no need to behave like this

They are now just getting up to mischief because without jobs they have nothing better to do,all those on jobseekers should have it stopped because clearly they are not out there seeking jobs

They're not going away any time soon. Check out SuperSySez’s Tweet:

I’d love to see these guys and girls try this in China ....

Hope they get charged with trespassing on the railway and locked up for 6months

I wish it would rain

Lunatics

Fortunate for them it wasn’t rush hour. Those Canary Wharf types will rip you limb from limb for getting in the way of their commute.

They’re shagging a train?

Absolute bell ends

Climate change is a vitally important issue & these protesters, instead of getting people to understand the issues & engage, have done the absolute opposite. Now all most people can see is a bunch of idiots breaking the law gluing themselves to stuff. Totally counterproductive.

Middle class halfwits

W⚓️s

They should all be locked up for disrupting people’s lives.

Way to get people on your side.

I thought public transport was meant to be the environmentally friendly mode of transport

This is an emergency, need an immediate Tax increase to save the planet. Let’s bring commerce to a standstill to save the planet, one has to admit that this generation of Pol Pots are better at marketing.

Should have set off, would have been a good deterrent to others

We have no political leadership and direction. This is a symptom of this vacuum. Check out SuperSySez’s Tweet:

Good.

Drive it to the nearest low bridge.... he won't do it again after that ... these are just disruptive idiots who are neither informing nor educating and probably don't have to worry about anything other than avoiding soap ! ..

These are just posh thugs , stopping people from going to work I don't mind standing by their beliefs but they shouldn't take it out on the people that's are struggling to pay bills .

Get the Army in get fire fighters hose them down.

No other country would put with this.

Freaks

Bring in the snipers,one less tosser on the planet will help with global warming after all that's there objective isn't it.

Further terrorism that is. This lot need proscribing

Just wave a bar of soap towards them - that’d soon clear them off! Dirty b**t*rds.

BS!!

No matter what we do we cannot stop Global Warming. It’s is part of the Earths natural cycle. In fact based on ice core samples the warming process is centuries behind schedule.

This is nothing. I did train surfing in my youth. Did they get to Canary Wharf in daddies limo

Send thesecidiots to France.... they like that kind od thing over there...

Snowflake convention in London be very careful out there 😳

What do they really expect the UK to do? Even if we all live in mud huts and eat lentils it’s only going to make 0.01% difference on a global scale. Try taking their demonstration to China instead. See how far that gets them. ExtinctionRebellionLondon

They make me wanna set fire to an old sofa

I wonder how they got into the centre of London Let’s stop everyone travelling to work ! What a set of Twats 🤪

Don't these people have jobs? Fighting climate change is not cheap. I guess using taxes from these workshy fops is out of the question. I guess it's down to us tax payers to make a tangible sacrifice.

SkyNews: Most Countries are aware of climate change and responding to the dangers! Extreme actions by Climate protesters absurd and stupid! Tolerance, if not we all could do this with problems? UK Puplic deserve better, respect please? STOP IT!!!

It's a good hiding they are short of

This is crazy I understand their point but causing damage & disrupting other peoples lives is unfair & serves no purpose other than to annoy & cause people inconvenience. You get better results with the carrot and not the stick guys please remember that.

Train drivers, START YOUR ENGINES! 🚦Go!

They're ALL ridiculous,

Its good to see people exercise their right to protest, if it didnt cause inconvenience it wouldn’t get publicity. But I have just watched an interview on TV with one of this group and their agenda worries me ! Also ideas and policies not very realistic or well thought through !!

Lock them up

They are backing their heads against a brick wall. The government ( satan's minions ) won't listen.

Oxygen thieves.

I'd say give them all criminal records but probably won't matter none of them have done a days work in their life.

Taser the bastards

Ban them from all public transport.

Scary the amount of violent comments. Think people need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Mounted a driverless electric train?

We should all get in our cars and leave engine running for a hour. Keep reving the engine so fumes come out of the exhaust and then take one plastic bottle and chuck it into the sea

Please please not Canary Wharf it's hard enough getting to and from work during rush hour... Couldn't they do this on the weekend?!

Civil disobedience in the disguise of a protest

Just like the hippies of the 60s and puberty they will soon grow out of it and eventually tow the establishment line

Can’t we just send in a group of those American trophy hunters to sort them out ForEveryProblemTheresASolution

Do they laugh at those people who lose money because they can't get to work

How did they get their clothes made? Surely not man-made using energy ? Did they use a wooden mobile phone?

At least they picked a nice day for it. Unseasonably warm...

Rubber bullet time

This is a big hit to the Chinese,USA, and Indian Pollution we see in the world, NOT.

If i cant get the train or tube to work later it means ill have to take my car!!! These people 🤦🏼‍♂️... Might take the car with the biggest engine just to make me feel better

someone start the train and take off at top speed do us all a favour

plonkers

YAS QWEENS!!!! Because what would a world be like if the climate didn't change? Clowns

Try to grow more greenery rather then built big big building and houses

Idiots.

This is ridiculous now, there’s no need for them to be going off the rails to raise awareness 👍🏻

Modern day Swampies.. getajob

Just wondering if half of theee people work in your newsroom?

Taser them !!!

What would happen if a football fan did this on protest at a poor rail service?

Yet protesters at the Edinburgh demo are being encouraged to use buses and trains to get to the demo starting place.....go figure.....

Waste of space !! Who funds these people !!

I fully expect that said train was already delayed.

Just move the train

If that was a Union Jack the lefties would all be screaming for arrests

What a bunch of wasters,dont they realise public transport is miles better than using your car? Jobless hippies

Paul__North

They'd soon move if the train drove off.

If they think this is helping then they are sadly mistaken.

doing all this & nothing is going to change. waste of time!

More than 100 arrested as climate change protesters block central London roadsBy midnight there were 52 arrests for public order offences and obstruction of the highway. I hope the police were disinfected afterwards. It's comforting to know that strangers are willing to get arrested to save your life and the life of your children and your grandchildren. You might want to get off your arse and do something about climate change too. Weather hipsters. And, Or students.
