A climate protester from the global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion has climbed scaffolding around the base of one of Britain's most famous landmarks, the Big Ben clock tower of the Houses of Parliament.

Leave him there. He’ll come down when his mummy calls him.

matthewhayden There's never a sniper around when you need one.

And the remaining 23 members stood at the base and looked at him. Major fail.

IGNORE, they want attention, DO NOT give it to them.

Good, hopefully he will soon be extinct.

Idiots getting a bit of publicity by the low life media . Piss-off.

Perhaps Mary Poppins can fly up there and help him down?

Protester scales London's Big Ben to unfurl climate bannersA protester, reportedly dressed as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has unfurled two climate banners from scaffolding surrounding London's Big Ben. All protesters deserve a one year holiday in the pristine wilderness of the upper Arctic Circle - there they will have time to appreciate the utopian world they dream of. Bread water and jail for a weak or so.

What are Queensland's new dangerous devices laws and will they stop Extinction Rebellion?Queensland's Labor Government is taking the unusual step of enacting laws to curtail the protest movement, but what are the laws and will they work? It appears our Aussie neighbors down under are every bit as looney as the rest of the climate nuts.. Forget stupid laws that won't be enforced in the Courts. This is the best way to stop the Apocalyptic Doomsday Cult nutters… These green lunies believe their own social media......been a bit of a public backlash against them. They would not want to get too cocky in Queensland.

The end of the world as we know it: are we on the brink of a mass extinction?Explainer | An alarming claim has been made about the future of our Earth in recent months: that, at best, we're facing the collapse of civilisation or, at worst, a mass extinction.
