Whilst it's funny to watch, it is worth considering that further along the drugs supply chain is child abuse and violent crime. Whilst these people are campaigning against Capitalism, rich drug dealers are living it up on the Costa Del Sol.
The only possible explanation for this is the used of psychotropic drugs
Gail Bradbrook one of the XR leaders called recently for a 'mass ingestion of psychedelic substances' Seems many protestors have taken her advice...

Extinction Rebellion protests continue in London despite ban

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50053945

Extinction Rebellion activists are continuing protests despite a London-wide ban by police.
The group says it has taken initial steps towards a judicial review of the ban. Lawyers and politicians have also criticised the move.....continues

How about if a few 1000 people instigate a class action against ER for loss of income due to their demonstrations?

Not sure that's entirely drugs, some of that behaviour looks to me more like drama school exercises.

What the fk does causing 'mischief' to passengers mean? I really hope passengers tell them to fk right off. However, if there are any altercations, who will get taken away by plod? Crusty will get a meaningless slap on the wrist & any passengers involved will miss their flight.....
A straw poll at my office is 100% anti-XR with almost no sympathy. wkers

I can understand the building frustration with XR, but beating the wallies up is not acceptable.

It's a pity they are damaging the environmental movement.

I don't think that's their issue. They want to stop capitalism. So stopping 'business as usual'. They blame it for the worlds woes.
Climate stuff just happens to be a scape goat.

Yes it was terrible he held up so many people not just this train but the network and then tried to kick someone in the face, good outcome for the protester he got out alive with only a light kicking ! 😀

Bullst, it is exactly what should be happening and is absolutely acceptable. So they KNOW that joe public thinks their actions stink, ie they have No support whatsoever and stop fking kidding themselves that they think the public in any way backs them.

What they are doing is socially unacceptable, and the public today has started to demonstrate that to them. If they don't want to be remonstrated with, (fk me they were complaining about people shouting abuse at them on Tuesday), then don't disrupt peoples' days.
But if they do, don't expect Joe public to sit there looking at them, tut and walk away.

These morons glued themselves to my office on Monday. The police arrived mob handed, used whatever solvent they use to dissolve glue and had them gone within the hour.

Pulling them off the train = acceptable

Duffing them up = unacceptable

However, always a risk if you get between London commuters and their target hehe

You're right though, how this would make anyone more predisposed towards the environmental cause is beyond me.

Attention seeking professional rent a mob , just latching on the next high profile issue for their own gratification and it is coming back to bite them
