LONDON: Climate activists Extinction Rebellion will not be allowed to repeat the kind of disruption they caused in London earlier this year when they hold fresh demonstrations in October, police said on Thursday .
"It went well beyond the realm of what was reasonable and we would not tolerate that level of disruption again." Extinction Rebellion wants to use non-violent civil disobedience to force governments to cut carbon emissions and avert a climate crisis that it says will bring social collapse. In Britain, it has sought to maintain momentum this week by holding a"summer uprising" of smaller-scale protests in London, Leeds, Glasgow, Cardiff and Bristol.
