LONDON - Climate-change activists blocked a road near the Bank of England as part of the 11th day of direct action aimed at pushing politicians to take more radical measures to protect the environment. The protesters held banners which read: “the planet is hotter than your mum” and “non violent”. They sang Bob Marley’s “One Love”.Our Standards:
Instead of shutting down streets to protest, it'd be more effective if they protested by blocking cars and motorcycles from racing or practicing to race at racetracks. Prevent exhaust gas and additional tires to mountains of used tires. Immediate benefits...
Hopefully there's a targeted audience for this strike...
Was hoping to get in early to have the flat to myself. Snot gonna happen. Better not add to the CO2 gases by letting off steam. But what I wouldn't give for a day or two, perhaps three to myself. MeTime as precious as air & water.
On the 43 behind the protestors. Roads narrow so no room 4 traffic 4 turn. Might get off bus & walk. An Ann Widdicome soundalike is on the fone 2 someone because 'something has to be done'. She's not happy but in her assertion she shares the same sentiment as ExtinctionRebellion
No, it's okay to protest ..but don't block roads. You have the right to speak your opinions, but not to inconvenience everyone around you. That just makes you self-entitled.
Lock them up
It's like, 40 idiots. Do they not have pepper spray and water canons in London?
True, but I can exchange it for food.
Another argument against plastic banknotes - we can't eat our money any more.
That will help.
