More than 300 environmental activists sowed chaos through London’s financial district on Thursday, glueing themselves to the stock exchange and blocking roads outside the Bank of England and major banks such as Goldman Sachs.
In streets beside the Bank of England, around 20 activists blocked the road singing Bob Marley’s “One Love”. Police removed one woman who glued her breasts to the road outside Goldman Sachs European headquarters on Fleet Street. “I’m here because I have a belief that there is something greater than us, which tells me that we don’t own this earth,” said Phil Kingston, a retired parole officer who celebrated his 83rd birthday by climbing on top of the train during rush hour.At the London Stock Exchange’s headquarters, seven protesters dressed in black suits and red ties were blocking the revolving doors of the building. They held signs reading “Tell the truth” and “You can’t eat money”.
Police said 1,130 arrests had been made since the main protests began. The final day of protests is focusing on the international financial sector, which has made London its home. The group is demanding the government declare a climate and ecological emergency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025 and create a citizen’s assembly of members of the public to lead on decisions to address climate change.
