The activists believe that mass civil disobedience is the only effective means left at their disposal to force political action.

Beyond that, it is difficult to extract a coherent vision from the group about anything more specific.

There is a good reason - Extinction Rebellion is intentionally decentralised without any real hierarchy.Climate activists pre-emptively arrested ahead of Monday's protests Members are reluctant to speak for the group about what exact policies might be put in place to reach the 2025 goal, for example. And while most of them are extremely apologetic about the disruption they are going to cause, many say that any inconvenience over the coming fortnight is nothing compared to the chaos that will be wrought by the worsening effects of climate change.Extinction Rebellion: 'Sorry - but this is what we have to do'Sky News has done quite a lot of filming with XR in the run up to this rebellion.

And for me one of the most interesting bits has been talking to individual activists about the importance of public support for their movement.

ExtinctionR I pledge to spray 100 aerosol cans in the air for no apparent reason every day while these protests are going on just to wind them up. Who is with me?

ExtinctionR Silly as a 2 bob watch

ExtinctionR Probably the same people that want to remain in the EU.

ExtinctionR That bunch of anarchists are only on the streets because they just want a street party. Nothing to do with climate ‘change’...

ExtinctionR Water cannon the lot of them. Normal working folk are sick of hearing and seeing them and the media giving them publicity.

ExtinctionR So holding traffic up is solving climate change .Get back to work

ExtinctionR They are trouble makers not supporters, enjoying the funding from corrupts and living on benefits

ExtinctionR

ExtinctionR Please explain how stopping Parliament is going to help Climate Change. All it will do is increase pollution.

ExtinctionR UK is a leading nation for change producing a fraction of global emissions. The self righteous, self-serving 'activists' need to get their visas sorted for India and China and get over there to sort out the pollution problem. UK emissions are a rounding error of global total.

ExtinctionR Well the 12 year deadline has been going on now for about 30 years so far.

ExtinctionR Arrest her then give her a £10,000 fine tfatveill change her mind 😂

ExtinctionR Jail them

ExtinctionR Water cannon.

ExtinctionR Give the unwashed a bath.

ExtinctionR Typical those not strapped for cash protesters disrupting other people trying to earn a living.

ExtinctionR I have yet to see any climate change disasters?

ExtinctionR Haven’t these idiots got jobs to go to?!

ExtinctionR What disaster? Keep trying to find it bur struggling to. We are not all about to die. Life is not under threat. Until next glaciation kicks in

ExtinctionR Get off the streets and allow people to go about their daily routines

ExtinctionR I’m sorry love climate change is bollocks it’s just the natural course of the Earth

ExtinctionR Actually do something about CLIMATE CHANGE and save money on fuel with this e-bike!

ExtinctionR Good ethos but not fair on other people going about daily life. causing traffic disruption and ambulances could be delayed.

ExtinctionR Look at that you can report on this but you couldn’t report on the Veterans protest last week!!

ExtinctionR Greta Thunberg: -16 yrs old -No accomplishments -Has no practical solutions -176M Google results Boyan Slat: -Invented the first ocean plastic cleanup system at 16 yrs old -Requires no economic destruction -270k Google results But they don’t want solutions, they want more taxes

ExtinctionR God its pathetic

ExtinctionR Follow us for exclusive news! Save $2000 on fuel every year with an e-bike!

ExtinctionR Mad old Bat..!!!

ExtinctionR And Boris wanted to prorogue Parliament to shut it down. All he needed to do was get these loons in!

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Tell that to an elderly person who is trying to get to their doctor/hospital !

ExtinctionR Dear, you're going to peg it anyway in next 10 years, or do you want to live to 120

ExtinctionR Yep. Just keep pointing to the science. Question to anyone who has a problem with what XR are doing -- which climate scientists/studies do you recommend? Where do you get your optimism from? Links, please...

ExtinctionR I wonder if this lot use toilet paper. Would hate to need a number two round theirs.

ExtinctionR Middle Class England on the rampage.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Global Warning

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Is there a Shadow Secretary who isn't completely bonkers?

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR MPs encouraging pupils to skive and commit vandalism and obstruction offences.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR What a Belter......

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Anarchist

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR So he applauds vandals spraying fake bloody everywhere

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Does he applaud the disruption to innocent people trying to go about their daily lives. So much to say about how ‘no deal’ will affect everyday people and yet he supports this.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Total rubbish, this planet has heated up and cold down thousands of years ago, this is scaremongering, it's the normal behaviour of earth to eradicate the virus, you and me.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Time to drain the swamp.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR You really are a moron if they block the emergency services they should be arrested locked up for minimum 2 years 10k fine each

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Here we have it - labour loonies support anarchists who are actively trying to bring the country to its knees! Thank you Barry Gardiner - the gift that keeps on giving!🤔😀😂

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Another man who doesn’t seek evidence that may oppose his views.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR So extinction rebellion now explaining what Ambulances are going to be allowed into st Thomas hospitals , well extinction rebellion you’ve got the front bench of the Labour Party surporting you so if something goes wrong at st Thomas hospital Barry gardener can explain it.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Giving kids permission to bunk off school and to stop people coming into a hospital. What’s the world come to eh.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Sky news you keep getting the same idiots on the programme! Barry “no brain” Gardiner is way over exposed he’s also a complete joke!

ExtinctionR Oh dear just more excuses to cause mass disruption to people trying to go about their daily business! Idiots!

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Maybe you could pay for the policing Barry? How many million this time?

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR What a dickhead. They should be physically removed and arrested if necessary. These are not protesters, they are anarchists leaning towards terrorism.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Doesn’t disrupt or impact the lives of politicians/people with power though, just the lives of the working class. Nothing like limiting people’s ability to take public transport and blocking access to hospitals to help mankind 👍🏻

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR So it's ok for others to have problems getting into work but when it was them they moaned like bitches. fucklabour

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR What a knob

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Labour after a few more votes then

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Typical of the now trotskyite party....encourage disruption & civil disobedience....instead of standing up for the people who will be affected. These people should be arrested as soon as the protest starts if it is disruptive & maybe taken for a shower too

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Labour again showing how in touch with the working people they are....🙄 clueless

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Labour supporting Union type action who would have thought it. Tithead.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR You had me at shadow.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR And deciding who can and cannot get to places like St Thomas’ hospital. What’s the word I’m groping for?

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Says it all. A Labour Party which encourages criminal activity and disruption. Perhaps the 'Opposition' leaders should resign and join the protest groups that they would be far better suited to. The Conservatives have broken record after record on sustainable/renewable energy.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR So Labour promoting and supporting chaos. Says it all. Wonder if Labour will take responsibility if damage is caused or innocent people injured during these protests.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR I don't agree

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Comical Barry trying hard to some votes.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR What a 🔔 end.

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR Well you should be ashamed of yourself!

BarryGardiner ExtinctionR We will remember this imbeciles support for this as we spend the next 2 weeks dealing with this shit from the fucktarded ER and people die due to the traffic chaos around London’s hospitals. If they get in my way I will not be as welcoming.

ExtinctionR 'An apocalyptic cult'. It's a Guardian headline about the ghastly events at Jones Town. But it could also be used in reference to this new cult. ExtinctionRebellion

ExtinctionR Tazer, pepper spray, batton rounds. Preferably the Latter first. Bring out the Rainbow police brigade. Ponceing about like tarts.

ExtinctionR Make them a proscribed group, eco-terrorists.

ExtinctionR Another fortnight free run for London criminals whilst the police are waisting their time playing nurse maid to this lot

ExtinctionR Well London's cells will be busy later. Lock em all up.

ExtinctionR

ExtinctionR Everyone is aware of climate change and yes we need to protect the planet. This is no longer about climate change it is just an excuse to cause issue for those who have lives to lead. What practical and realistic solutions do they have? Not heard many been put forward.

ExtinctionR

ExtinctionR They lost all credibility in my eyes when they stopped that person from visiting a dieing relative.

ExtinctionR ClimateChangeHoax The biggest SCAM in history

ExtinctionR Medi - STOP televising their activities you just are walking right in and giving them what they want - coverage!

ExtinctionR There is no plan, just a group of people with nothing to do than disrupt those who ‘could’ be doing right to start - such groups get it wrong everytime by attacking the public and not the decision makers - stop taking the easy way out. Get the public onside not p*ssed off.

Is it half term already ?

Do they pop home to charge their phones?

Lying on the ground against climate change.....just as stupid as protesting a natural phenomenon.....😀

Arrest all

And while you are laid on the floor blocking bridges and roads, emergency services can't get through, people die. Any excuse to lay on your backs for an hour and get your 15 minutes of fame. Easier than going to work i suppose. It's the hippy CND marches all over again.

Send them all Syria lots of opportunity for protesting there. Theses greenies are not in step with the main stream population. Just a big frustration let's hope no does because Ambos can't get there.

These dirty people they do not work, Some are claiming disability allowances and they are disrupting the honest people that have to work and earn their living, the Government should really stop these people 🤔ya go their houses it’s Nasty 😷

'Force political action' The appropriate political action is to lock this lot up. Socialist nutters funded by Geroge Soros.

Isn’t it nice to be able to have so much time off work! 🤷‍♀️

Arrest and stop their benefits.

Don't be hypocrites, I'm assuming you'll all be walking there from your humble abodes in your bare feet and wearing your disposable recyclable clothing, I think not.

What a day that will be. I could lay down , that would change the climate! laydownalldaydickheads

These loons are doing more harm than good. We need to win hearts and minds not alienate people. Instead of making fools of themselves they want to start looking towards finding solutions to the many challenges we all face.

They want to rebel against the enemy terrorising the hunger that is greed.

That woman at the bottom is really living it.

That always was and is the main tactics of the Lefties everywhere: DISRUPT! What about: GO TO WORK? resist RegressiveBrainwashing

How to win support NOT. no jobs to do unlike most of the population. disgrace

They think the same with logging and fires, if they did their research they’d find out they’re wrong Mother nature gives us the impossible but we do the possible. What a shame.
