rebellion.earth/ Extinction Rebellion protest on Weston beach today against the expansion of Bristol Airport
ExtinctionRebellion are creating good photo ops with their all-over-the-place approach......Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Whitehalll, the Strand....Eight places across London.
Some people believe they are undermining their own cause. People have heard it all before.
I’m no advocate for the private car driver, but XR probably just irritates them!
I didn't spot Mr Rees-Mogg at this Extinction Rebellion event, but this gentleman was the closest I could find.

This Extinction Rebellion (ER) protest is being carried out
by SIXTY countries across the world today!
An Ipsos Mori poll in 2013 showed that 59% said the planet was heading for disaster.
That figure for 2019 is 78%. Yet, the government is very slow in campaigning
over the issue, and the population does not really get a clear message about
how bad the situation is.
The last Friday of each month sees the regular Speakeasy night at the award-winning Edinburgh Bookshop - some socialising, book browsing, chat, some gin and tonics then a talk with an author or other speaker.
For April's Speakeasy it was a very timely subject with Patrick Dunne talking to us about taking part in the Extinction Rebellion movement which has been staging demonstrations and protests in numerous cities in the UK and Europe and further afield (with young Greta Thunberg being one of the most publicly visible demonstrators).
It was a terrific evening, generating a good bit of debate about what individuals can do to try and play a part in not just trying to avert environmental catastrophe, but in changing our politics and economic system to something more humane and fair, that involves us all.
Patrick and others will have a Fringe show in Edinburgh this August on this time, you can follow him here twitter.com/paddywpd
The Speakeasy takes place the last Friday of each month from 5.30pm in the Edinburgh Bookshop in Bruntsfield, right on Holy Corner, and is free, all welcome to come along: www.edinburghbookshop.com/
This protest took place on the land of the Dharawal and Yuin peoples. ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE ABORIGINAL LAND!
Bushfires are ravaging the country, tearing down houses and destroying lives & ecosystems. While we lose our homes and loved ones, have our towns and cities choked by smoke, or sit on beaches hiding from flames, Scott Morrison is letting us burn. The climate crisis is causing endless destruction, but fossil fuel bosses rake in profits from burning our planet while politicians give them handouts.
At the same time as drought is rife across the country, here in the Illawarra mining has been allowed to expanded into our local water catchment, which will drain up to 3 billion litres a year.
We demand:
- Tax fossil fuel companies to fund bushfire relief for communities in need
- Sack Scott Morrison!
- Increase funding for our fire services
- No new coal, gas or oil
- No mining in the Greater Sydney Water Catchment
