A few days after a protester from a climate change activist group jumped and threw orange powder paint on a table during the World Snooker Championships at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, it was revealed that the London Marathon had convinced another activist group to turn from poachers into gamekeepers.
“‘I have just come from a meeting with Extinction Rebellion,’ said Brasher. ‘They will be uniquely asking all their participants to help guard the London Marathon. To do something that is quite unique in their history — to protect what is one of the crown jewels of British sport.” It’s an extraordinary step. Asking the disruptors not to disrupt one of the biggest sport events and, because of its size, the most vulnerable to protesters. For Roger Hallam, one of the founders of Extinction Rebellion, has previously stated: “The essential element here is disruption. Without disruption, no-one is going to give you their eyeballs.”
For a while there, I had some sympathy for Animal Rising, as I do for many climate change activist groups. But, if it can see little difference between horse racing and a bacon sandwich, then it has lost me.

The ANC *hates* being criticised. They should do more to avoid being wrong. This clown (Gungubele) says the South African Post Office has 'brilliant plan' on the eve of liquidation? This clown doesn't have a plan (or he would have published it). Complete incompetent liar and thief, considering he's taking a salary and not producing the work.
