Just "a tad misguided"? Let's call a spade by its correct name, for goodness sake. XR appear to believe that they have a carte blanche to do as they wish and to define what is generally acceptable as protest, which they and others are entitled to do. But they have NO right to prevent people from living their lives, travelling to work and going about their lawful business. Most people in the UK share passionately in protecting the environment and taking firm action to counter climate change but I have yet to hear from anyone how destroying or undermining our fragile economy would reduce the prospects of climate change. Indeed, my fairly limited intellectual powers tell me that only with a strong and sustainable economy will we be able to take firmer action to counter climate change. To XR and the negative course they have embarked upon, I say: Not In My name!
