It's not a great look 😬

Travellers heading to the COP26 climate summit have resorted to taking domestic flights after a fallen tree caused major disruption on the railways.

Shortly before 2pm an announcement was made saying all train services had been suspended and the concourse was ‘exit only’ due to overcrowding. Many were caught on slow moving or stationary trains, while others were forced to book carbon-heavy domestic flights to reach the summit. Mr Johnson sat on his train from London Euston to Glasgow for more than half an hour before being told to get off by staff.Eventually he decided to book a flight from Gatwick Airport, acknowledging it ‘does of course, seem ridiculous’.

Faith groups and pilgrims lead Glasgow COP26 climate protestsThousands of activists head to Glasgow to make their climate change concerns known. To avoid more bloodbaths, understand that there never was and never will be a freedom of religion. Christian nations seem more tolerant than other nations only because they know tolerance is the best hiding place for intolerance.
