Miss Thunberg had earlier met party leaders in Westminster as the Extinction Rebellion group continued their climate change protests in London into a second week.
Scotland Yard said:"This number of arrests is unprecedented, and is diverting officers from their vital duty of tackling crime and keeping London safe, but they will continue to arrest those who occupy illegal protest sites and refuse to stop causing widespread disruption to the communities of London."
More than 10,200 Met Police officers have so far been deployed as part of the operation over the protests, with 350 officers being drafted in from neighbouring forces over the Easter weekend and throughout Tuesday. Officers were deployed to Heathrow Airport over the weekend to prevent demonstrators causing serious disruption to air travel.
Among the campaigners' demands are for the government to declare a climate emergency, for the UK to be carbon neutral by 2025, and to create a citizens' assembly to discuss the issue.
SkyData Well done ExtinctionR!! Let’s hope that by ‘do more’ ppl do stuff which has an actual impact on their GG emissions 1) move money - most banks&P funds invest heavily in F fuels 2) srsly reduce meat and dairy consumption 3) don’t fly. Yep. It’s a bugger. And tell people about it!
SkyData I do hope the staff there wake up to the treadmill that they have been put on, like hamsters, to continue to belittle the efforts of many for the sake of billions Vs listening to their corporate self-satisfying bosses. There has to be 1 good egg in there, surely?
SkyData When did murdoch become a strategic analyst? Haha.
SkyData Waste of time and effort.... the BIG carbon footprint on this one.... Air travel.... cars not moving.... rubbish dumped.... etc..etc.... a nd what has it proved... NOTHING.....
SkyData What I found remarkable about this was 60% approving of aims 'including reducing UK carbon emissions to net zero by 2025'. That's the hardest demand, but people are prepared to go with it.
SkyData Less idiots to play online with now I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
SkyData Why don’t they approach China to tackle climate change? I’ll tell you why because they would get a smack over the head with a big stick and told to f*** o** home.
StephenWoroniec SkyData What's the bet most of the disapproval comes from people too old to be affected by the climate crisis?
guyshrubsole SkyData Sky polls mean nothing. Troll!
guyshrubsole SkyData No, a tiny majority of a sample of 1022 Sky customers oppose their tactics. Don’t talk about “Brits” without revealing the sample size.
SkyData Thick people.
StephenWoroniec SkyData These numbers play right into their hands. Excellent work. ExtinctionRebellion forever
SkyData ExtinctionRebellion has been open about the desire to engage and activate just 3% of the population. That this last week’s actions have resonated so widely is proof positive that we *can* ActNow, we *can* move BeyondPolitics – this polling is incredible. And too.
SkyData I’d wager more than 53% of people would oppose the personal tactics they know in their heart of hearts they need to deploy to cope with the climate and ecological crisis. Driving, flying, eating, consuming. This is an existential crisis – and in that context, this poll astounds!
SkyData Who cares? ExtinctinRebellion like Tolpuddle Martyrs, Peasants Revolt, & the Suffragette movement are on the correct side of history on this one. Anyone who disagrees is - metaphorical - pi55ing in the wind.😁🍻
SkyData And this is based off a data sample of only 1,022 people..? You have got to be joking.....? Please tell me this isn’t the case... SkyData
SkyData 75% of all statistics are made up on the spot!!
SkyData
SkyData Against everything they do say or have done they don’t care they are rich and bored and the older ones lonely sad people trying to get friends
SkyData 53 + 29 + 60 + 20 + 31 doesn't make 100!
SkyData Should read: A SkyData poll found that 31% of brits have been inspired by extinction rebellion to do more [about climate change]
SkyData They handled it all so badly.
SkyData i understand why there doing this but why don't they protest in the country's what arent meeting criteria. tell you why because other countries won't put up with it
SkyData Yes and the Mayor of London has stated he hopes they won’t interfere with the London Marathon, so guess what they’ll all be doing on Sunday, if they hadn’t thought about it before he’s given them an idea it’s almost like he wants them too 🙆♀️
SkyData 100% think they are hypocrites jetting off to st tropez when this protest is over
SkyData Ah, the famous sky poll! Nobody believes them and if they do they are dumb!🤔
SkyData Take a bath don’t worry about the water It’ll rain soon...
SkyData Tear gas and water cannon
SkyData I wonder how many were claiming job seekers whilst causing chaos 🤔🤔
SkyData FAKE NEWS: Sky Data collects its data from Sky customers only with some qualifying pish about demographic weighting. Their news reports on this issue were propaganda pieces and their polls are no better.
SkyData I have been inspired to do more. I brimmed my 1987 Bedford diesel transit van and have left it running until the protests end. Over a week now.
SkyData How many people were surveyed
SkyData If all the opposition is about their tactics then start coming up with other ways to achieve the goals...
SkyData How about we survey the residents of Zone 1? For the diversions, the traffic, and the total chaos to our living standard
SkyData Brainwashing and cult movement.
SkyData 60% approve of their aims to abolish planes, fire, gas boilers, cookers...….? Are you on crack?
SkyData What is the qualifier for “approve of them”? General attractiveness? Witty banter? Other?
SkyData Don’t think the numbers add up some how
SkyData Soap dodging meffs
SkyData They are just a bunch of annoying pricks who are disrupting so many lives and will achieve absolutely nothing,the UK has signed up to every environment treaty there is so just go home and start planning your next way of screwing up a few lives
SkyData They’ve tried writing to MPs I think
SkyData Er that doesn't add up
SkyData And without those tactics you wouldn’t be talking about it.
SkyData Lol, barely. 53%!!!
SkyData Twaddle, twaddle and more twaddle... Fools on Easter break ‘acting’ like that they are bothered about the world, whilst mass littering... actors travelling around the globe (carbon footprint galore) to join them? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
SkyData Oh for heavens sake, I bet thy don’t care about the environment when they’re smoking they’re vapes, cigarettes and pot!!! Go and get a bloody job and do 1!!
SkyData or 61% agree something needs doing about climate change
SkyData So what? If the majority did something rather than nothing.
SkyData 😋
SkyData I’m hoping I catch Norovirus or something similar, I’ll be straight down there for a good cough and sneeze.
SkyData Let’s see how they feel about the constant extreme weather that’s coming down the track. Maybe they can oppose that as well?
SkyData Don,t you mean Murdoch . . . . .
SkyData Meanwhile, the rest of the country is out trying to make a living.
SkyData Bet adding the word 'chocolate' would have changed that! Could gene-editing save chocolate from extinction?
SkyData They are communists!
