Dug up the grass on Trinity’s quad. What have they got against grass?
What a messhttps://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-ne...
Just get them arrested and not allowed to have their iphones back until they've repaired the damage.
Traffic in Cambridge was a nightmare this morning. In a city where a single car breaking down can cause hours of rush hour misery how closing a main junction is marked as "not serious" by the police is a joke. Half of the protesters look like they're students or ex-students. If they want to campaign against the university just leave, leave your course, hand back your degree, remove it from your CV. Oh wait that would inconvenience them and not the general population, how silly of me!

Look at how quickly those protestors are hoping put the way, moving the barriers out the way before the ambulance even gets there...

tThey're digging up the lawn at Trinity College now - police standing by and watching
How long before this police inaction causes someone to take the law into their own hands against XR?

FFS that's clearly criminal damage. What are Cambridge police thinking? Maybe that's it, they're not thinking.On more than one reality cop show I've seen bib bodycam footage of scrotes being instantly arrested for criminal damage after spitting in a police car and 'merely' leaving some saliva on a seat.
Obviously if it hit plod they were arrested for assaulting police.
The above situation at Trinity is beyond parody for any Police Farce.

It gets better. They've wheelbarrowed a load of the soil from Trinity and dumped it in Barclays.On more than one reality cop show I've seen bib bodycam footage of scrotes being instantly arrested for criminal damage after spitting in a police car and 'merely' leaving some saliva on a seat.

I wonder how a protestor might react if some vandal knew their address and went round and dug up their front lawn?
I'd imagine the actions of the protestors digging up the lawn has caused unnecessary pollution. They've added costs to the Uni that could have been spent on education, wasted Police funds. I see them as hypocritical thugs.

I know the police will no doubt claim that policing the ER antics cost eleventy billion pounds again, but it's difficult to see what the funds have been wasted on, given the police tactics of, well just standing around ...I'd imagine the actions of the protestors digging up the lawn has caused unnecessary pollution.

Whilst I think Extinction Rebellion digging up the Trinity lawn was a childish act of wanton vandalism masquerading as protest, trust me: you don't need to worry about it impacting education. Trinity is, shall we say, comfortably off. Of course, if the University does as the protesters want and divests itself of its links with fossil fuels, it'll be considerably less well off.

Why does that matter?There is no crime.
There is crime for sure, but one party is pretending there isn't for some reason, and have as yet failed to report it. Not quite the same as granting permission but it has the same result.
