Activists are deranged, says Corbyn’s brother
JEREMY Corbyn’s brother has called protesters who glued themselves to the Labour leader’s house this week ‘deranged’.
Piers Corbyn, 72, staged a tiny counter-protest at the Extinction Rebellion occupation at Waterloo Bridge yesterday – waving a banner that denounced global warming as a ‘hoax’.
Mr Corbyn, a meteorologist who runs weather forecasting firm WeatherAction, believes that accepted science on man-made climate change is a ‘cover-up’ that exists to push up fuel prices.
Asked about the Extinction Rebellion activists, who targeted his brother’s home on Wednesday, he said: ‘I think it was deranged.’
Condemning the protests, he added: ‘This is disrupting traffic and stopping people going to work, the police should have moved them on ages ago.’
