A young climate change activist who had superglued his hands to the mast of the pink boat occupying London's Oxford Circus was removed and arrested on Friday as part of police efforts to stop the blockade and remove the boat from the street. The Metropolitan police has come under increasing pressure to crack down on the Extinction Rebellion demonstrators who have blocked transport networks in the capital in recent days.
Its all slipping away to big government, they way of life we were once promised but never recived. It's time to fire upper management or leave
Where is SadiqKhan when the people of London, the UK and all over the world need him most? It's about climate change, which affects the whole world and not a protest for more parking space in the City of London. Who has given the order to the police to react like that?
Should have blasted them with water cannons, cleaned the scruffy twats up a bit.

Thousands of climate change protesters shut down major London streetsParliament Square, Oxford Circus, Marble Arch, Waterloo Bridge and Piccadilly Circus taken over by activists If we got rid of the climate loons there would be a lot more oxygen to go around for us normal folk...js I agree with the point that we need to do more for the environment but as my nearest and dearest pointed out to me, it’s a bit hypocritical to risk real lives by blocking a bridge, in order to save potential lives that don’t even exist... 🤷♀️ Not well thought through. Ugh!

Police chief criticises 'unacceptable' officers filmed dancing with climate activists at Oxford CircusA senior police chief has criticised officers who were filmed dancing with climate change protesters at Oxford Circus, as she described their behaviour as "unacceptable". Wow really? Criticised, that’s a bit strong isn’t it for our police these days? Oh hang on was this Craig Revel Horwood in fancy dress criticising their hold? I can understand the Chief constables reaction to this. But he/she should also think about the 'good feel factor' that occurs between the public and the police that has also been increased by these officers friendly behaviour. Been anybody else protesting like that the riot Gere b on and battens out and moved on wheres all the sections 5 and dispersal orders

Extinction Rebellion protest: Police finally get organised as pink boat sails for eco warriorsPolice officers removed a pink boat left in Oxford Circus by climate change protesters on Friday after admitting they had finally “come up with a strategy”, five days after parts of London were left paralysed. They got tired of waiting for the tide to come in? shameshameshame Instead of ruining the livelihoods of small business owners and trying to inconvenience millions, they should get PhDs and go into R&D. Of course, that’s not as easy as being obnoxious and living in a fantasy world where pixie dust provides all the energy we need. Ironclad1215 Lamentable! Took them 4 days to think about clearing the area ffs. You can just imagine these police leaders sucking on their pencils and ‘mulling over’ what they could possibly do when confronted with a pink boat. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.
