They would literally steal whole rails of clothes whilst giving security the run around As a U.K. social worker who has worked with endless referrals for Romanian families it’s hard not to be cynical but I try.

Opinion: Extinction Rebellion, Attenborough and the Green Party have revolutionised the climate change fightSo successful has this movement been that their demands are well enough known to trip off the tongue of every frustrated London cabbie No they haven't. They've promoted a scam. Strange MSN will talk about ExReb demos until the sunsets in a chemically induced mess, yet gives no mention of the Geoengineering chemtrails that goes on above our heads every day. by spreading outright lies....they should revoke his knighthood. The problem I have with these climate change protestor, is that they are preaching to the choir. They need to take their message out to the third world and developing countries not waste their time here in the UK. We are doing our bit, more than most other countries.
