Chaotic scenes filled the streets of central London as police fought to throw Extinction Rebellion protesters off the streets

Police actions against Extinction Rebellion (XR) show their job is to ensure business as usual under capitalism.

False friends are clustering around the climate movement. They know that millions of people across the world support climate action to avert catastrophe. Instead of denying the need for it, they pose as sympathetic but “reasonable”.

Organisers say rebels in around 60 countries will take action during the two-week International Rebellion.

‘Police blasted on eco anarchy’

The Extinction Rebellion (XR) rising in London at the start of this week was defiant, determined and a huge boost to the climate movement.

The first day of Extinction Rebellion’s (XR) occupation of London on Monday was shaped by resistance—and police repression.

Thousands of rebels poured onto the streets of central London early on Monday morning to demand urgent and dramatic action on the climate emergency.

A brutal show of force from the Metropolitan police on Saturday saw cops swoop in on one of Extinction Rebellion’s (XR) warehouses, confiscate equipment and arrest activists.
