Oh just piss off and eat a vegan sausage roll

This is not protesting, its just idiocy

Wouldn't have thought all the Old Bill, drafted in to police this climate change protest flew in on magic carpets?

This just shows how divided things are with all sides not whole.

midkentforbrit1 I hope it was eco-friendly adhesive! 🤔

These eejits, so they thought “let’s glue ourselves to an electric train to highlight climate change” 🤷🏻‍♂️ I shall try saving the air I breathe by looking for lost balloons and using the air in them to save the planet . 🙈

midkentforbrit1 I am sure if the train picks up speed, he will come off. Retailers say they have lost £12 million in sales through the protests. Send the bill to the green, Green party. Always thought it odd that their former leader was an Oz. How does that pan out.

Nothing will help the environment more than culling off a few nut jobs to reduce resource expenditure. 99% of the so called 'eco warriors' dont have a scooby what they're doing. Public transport helps reduce pollution, hence stopping the public using there own vehicles. If they want to get their point across then this is the wrong way to do so

We have no choice but to bring London to a halt for climate change.CarolineLucas on Extinction Rebellion: 'Keeping things ticking along as they are is to gamble with the fate of humanity and the prosperity of all who live in this country' CarolineLucas Yes - and buggering up people's lives just to get your point across to government does them no favours.

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.
