XR are eco vandals and a menace

-

I believe the Extinction Rebellion mob should be called exactly what they are, ‘Hypocritic­al Eco Vandal Terrorists,’ and it’s about time our police forces were given the go ahead to treat them as such.

To be allowed to bring our capital city to a standstill is more than Mr Hitler ever achieved, but our system of policing could be described as aiding and abetting their pathetic cause.

This ER mob is barking up the wrong tree in picking on this country for their misguided vandalism as no country in the world is making such an effort to make itself more ‘green.’

Hypocrisy is rampant among their followers. How did they all get to London? By bike or by Shank’s Pony? Surely they didn’t drive, did they?

Furthermor­e, their hypocrisy starts at the top! Dr Gail Bradbrook, the founder of ER, openly admitted on radio last week that she drives a diesel car to ferry her children around to sporting and other leisure activities because she ‘can’t afford’ an electric car. This from a woman who can afford to fly 11,000 miles return to Costa Rica and stay in a £2,500 luxury hotel whilst there?

And then there’s that other ER flag waver Emma Thompson, who habitually flies half way round the world to spout off to her disciples in ER how flying is the main cause of global warming.

If this current mob of ER fanatics were yobs from some poor sink estate, vandalisin­g gas guzzling 4 x4s in some leafy London suburb, they would probably have the full force of the law feeling their collars, but because they mostly appear to be middle class yobs with a ‘Daddy will bail me out attitude’ they seem to think they are out of reach of any meaningful punishment.

I would like to start an appeal fund, and my aim is £1million minimum. This money I intend to donate in the form of single (one way) air tickets to Moscow or Beijing for ANY Extinction Rebellion
