Oh yes, this really achieves something. Moronic.

if the effect was to think that they exceeded they succeeded

They are proven anarchists and are committing criminal damage - criminals jail them for 2 years min and give them criminal records

Ils libèrent du CO2 du sol dans l'atmosphère! Mauvais pour la planète!

Idiots! Mindless vandalism.

Complete idiots, why don’t the police arrest the lot?

Qu ils viennent chez chez moi il y a le potager a bécher, leur donnerait même une pièce.

Some members of the public will very soon react to these idiots and severe violence will happen. What should have happened was the diggers should have been carted off for breach of the peace, quite simple. Whether it was on private land or not would have been irrelevant.

& you wonder why these rebellion nutters don’t work ?

XR are morons. Protesting is their right. But what they have done to that lawn is going beyond their rights. They cost our country millions of pounds with policing, clearing up their mess and destroying areas of beauty. WHY is our government not clamping down on this. No respect

Why do this. What does it prove,other than that they’re all scum.

These people are repulsive. They should first be arrested fined made to relay the grass and then be banged up for a year..

Surely it’s criminal damage?

On devrait digger la tête de ces petits cons avec une pelle, effectivement.

Pourriture communiste!

Humm...is this an ecologist behavior ?

Do English people start looking like their French neighbours who are vandalising streets and universities? I think the answer is 'yes'

perhaps they were making a veggie plot for the spring . But changed there minds , it was to hard work. no heads.

Probably the only bit of work they actually have done in there whole life

Sorry but this is pure vandalism. Not sure what this dose to save the earth unless they are planting potatoes

We're saving the planet, guys!

For goodness sake. Why do that?

Y’a t’il quelqu’un qui pilote dans leurs têtes 🤦🏻‍♂️

Arrest them and jail them including a fine

Grado779 Try this in my garden mate and you'll have an axe swinging about pronto. Snowflakepolice

😡

Appalling.

Oh No! Lawn has been temporarily damaged! 'Blah blah eco-extremists blah blah when I was young we had respect blah blah need the military service we never had to do blah blah the Blitz' Congrats, Telegraph, on being played like a fiddle by teenagers

But why ? The reason ? Thanks to explain.

Why - criminal damage? Should be prosecuted and made to relay it at their own expense. There are better ways of achieving their objectives.

They should be ashamed of them selves. Disgraceful 🙈

To find good ideas?

Basic vandalism. A 500 year old lawn. No excuse. Should have been arrested.

Now publish the protesters' home addresses and let's go and have some fun with their gardens. See how much the middle class tossers like it done to their property.

They make a valid point. If you don’t like what ExtinctionR have done to a fucking LAWN, why do you allow BP to do it the planet on a scale that defies belief?!

Disgraceful behaviour, quite disgraceful.

What a bunch of nobs! What they doing that for? Extinction Rebellion are just a bunch of ill-informed loons who think they're being right on, when really they're being right tits! extinctionrebellion GretaThunberg ClimateEmergency

Why ? Just why?

Shame there wasn’t an unexploded WW2 bomb knocking about

Isn’t grass good for the environment?

On this one I would have liked to see the Cambridge University proctors asserting their ancient rights and bashing a few heads with their heavy maces!

🤦‍♀️

I don't understand what they're getting out of this at all. Just looks like vandalism to me!

Vermin! Are they not classed as a terrorist organisation now. If so Guantanamo Bay is an option!

why? ... tell me the reason, please.... Why? What for? The symbol? witch one? please...

Oxbridge on the slide ? Read 'Bluffocracy'

Fracking oi

Vandalism !

As punishment, they should be obliged to replant, in public view

« Des taupes » in french

The university should frack the lawn just to annoy them even more

Arrest them !! Its criminal damage !!!

Where the fuck is the police ? What is the ecologist act here ?

Is it mad or just stupid ?

What a pity. I was at Trinity College in the Summer of 1968. It was such a great an inspiring place ...!

Why digging up lawn for ? Have they lost the plot ?

Why are they destroying the ecosystem of those lawns?

So sad. Spent 4 happy years next door to this lawn. This act of vandalism has achieved absolutely nothing. Trust the law will deliver the appropriate consequences.

Vandals dig up Trinity College lawn at Cambridge There, I fixed it for you

this lot belong on the funny farm

Why? What is point of this? Please arrest these “loonies” x terrible x shame on them x thetimes

look, evidence?

Every time I see this clip, makes my blood boil. Puerile criminal damage going unchallenged and unpunished. Shameful.

Why. That will really get people on their side!

Des malades mentaux !!!!😲

Vandalism & they should be charged accordingly!

La connerie n’a décidément pas de limite...😡😡

Let’s protect the planes by digging it up 🙈

Why they are destroying nature !

its stupid ideas like this that encourage children to vandalise nature, showing little respect for those who maintain our green areas

Hope the college leaves it like that for all their students to see what happens when you support this bunch of W ankers

C'est bien qu'ils continuent xrFrance ,ils vont nous dégoûter de l'écologie. On les a pas attendu pour avoir une sensibilité écologique. Et des actions comme celle la sont inaudibles. petitscons

At least they could have done it properly. In a line start one end work to the other.

Just scum!

Any chance of engaging « oxygen of publicity » mode please.

Toxic green filth. Life sentences with hard labour and loss of all 'family' wealth might concentrate their tiny warped minds. Failing that extreme violence as common in other countries might work.

Bloody morons

Vandalism and protest should not go hand in hand. You will loose respect and another organisation with more respectful standards or better cunning would step in and take all the kudos away from you.

What are they gaining, surely destroying grass goes against what they’re fighting for This is nothing but pure vandalism. I hope they’re fined!

What about them giving a hand to the poor people that are flooded out of their homes they would then attract the news and be better thought of

Why were the police not locking up the protesters on criminal damage charges ? BorisJohnson metpoliceuk

Lance flammes ? Arrestation musclée ? Au choix ExtinctionRebellion

Nope, another act that does nothing to further your cause in my eyes. Commentator on BBCR2 suggests that it ‘gets people talking’; certainly does but maybe not in a very +ve way 🤔

Excellent idea, grow some potatoes, the place has got to be good for something.

I hope they were all arrested. GET A JOB!

Isn’t that destroying private property?

Most work they’ve done in their lives

Scum

I don’t get it they look like children, and how doe digging up a lawn signify anything... someone please explain this to me I feel like I’m missing out,

Poor things, not used to hard graft.

Absolutely ridiculous, all they have achieved is the destruction of the lawn. Pathetic!

Tecoub 'Can't we just drone these pricks?'

Digbats

Can someone explain to me how these ignorant vandals on private property were not removed by Police to protect private and property - I am at a loss as to why we allow this kind of low life behavior yet would spend a fortune fining drivers for driving 5 mph over a speed limit
