Extinction Rebellion (XR) 2

Friday afternoon in St. Peter’s Square Manchester.

Many students, from Manchester and the surrounding districts, are seen here demonstrating on the streets of Manchester; the reason, the future of our planet. The youth of today are the future of the planet and their concerns are real. The planet, their planet, is gradually dying or should I say being murdered to a point of near extinction. Everything from CO2 emissions, Climate change, Deforestation, Rising in sea temperature to the killing of Animals and more; all of these things effect the environment we live in. These youngsters have a right to clean and healthy environment, a one that will be safe for future generations to come; we had our chance and blew it, give them the chance they deserve.

Incidentally, the vast majority of the protesters were female, where were the boys? No doubt they were at home playing on their X Boxes etc. Come on boys do your bit and help the girls out, it is your future also….!

These police officers are there directing the demonstrators to a safe route through St. Peters Square keeping them safe. St. Peter’s Square is a major hub for the Metrolink tram service and is therefore extremely busy at all times.
