Fermat 48
Representing Hull
A ‘Mass’ demonstration by ‘The Extinction Rebellion’ group taking place along Deansgate, Manchester, UK.
Joe public are up in arms with the police and the local council as they allowed the 4 day demonstration to take place along Deansgate, the main route through the City centre; chosen by the demonstrators as they say it is the most polluted street in the City. In defence of the police they maintained that allowing the closure of the road would result in less trouble and fewer arrests; I don’t know if there were any. This young lady was the sole person on view, representing the City of Hull, in their encampment; she looked extremely cold. Looking in the other direction, (behind me), the scene wasn’t much better; in other words not a great turnout. This had nothing like the impact the demonstration had in London a few weeks back. The weather wasn’t great but I still think the turnout would have been poor.
