🌲 Extinction Rebellion's Christmas Message🌲

Is basically stuff you, we're going to disrupt the run up to Christmas as much as we can.Yes, they're at it again. 🙄 After a relatively quiet spell XR are set to cause more disruption with '12 days of crisis', beginning today.Dubbed the ‘Election Rebellion’, the group are urging all political parties to ‘make the Climate and Ecological Emergency their top priority’ and say they will use ‘bikes, bees and bulldozers’ and sing ‘crisis carols’ during this latest round of demonstrations.On Sunday, they plan to employ air raid sirens, pots and pans, sound systems, and ‘more’ to ‘sound the alarm’ on climate nationwide.https://metro.co.uk/2019/11/27/xr-set-start-latest-disruption-sunday-labelling-12-days-crisis-ahead-election-11229769/On LBC this morning a Fergus somebodyorother was talking about XR's latest proposed shenanigans. Apparently one of the stunts will be a 'mother and child day' when women will be staging a feed-in with their babies outside the headquarters of all the political parties. I wonder how many of these attention seekers will turn up and get their bits out?  Far too cold for all but the most brainwashed zealots, I would think.

Incredibly annoying, I agree. But however, putting climate change very high up on the agenda which is a good thing.We all know these young people might not realise they have to give up their smart phones, holidays, cars, etc.But good luck for trying, it will be a slow process but they are at least highlighting the problem.

If they target the Foreign Embassies that are not doing their bit for climate change then I'm all for supporting them, but if they target individuals going about their every day lives like last time then sympathy will soon run dry for them.

As far as I know there's no disruption planned really. Certainly nothing that will impact the public.All just a bit of pre-christmas fun :)@Paul, certainly other governments need to be held to account but just to be very clear, the UK is already in serious danger of missing both the targets it set for 2020 and 2030https://fullfact.org/economy/uk-carbon-emissions-targets/

Oh damn when Sue posted originally I bought a truckload of super glue to sell to the buggers and pay for my Christmas 😁😡🥺Matt do you want to buy some glue at cost price to practice with. You could attach yourself to your garden shed or glue the kids to the Christmas tree. Be glue perfect for  next year
