my london diary

Extinction Rebellion occupy Westminster

Westminster, London. Mon 7 Oct 2019



 

 The road block on the Mall with Buckiingham Palace

 and looking back towards Admiralty Arch

 'No Fish No Future'

 Horseferry Road is blocked by banners

 and a woman holds an XR symbol wreath

 On Marsham St opposite the Home Office people sit on the ground around a van

 'Emergency! Everything we love in this world is at risk if our governments do not act NOW!'

 

 

 Two women are handing out acorns. I tell them Chris Packham has already given me several

 Another road block at tje junction of Marsham St and Horseferry Road

 George Monbiot is speaking at the blocked roundabout on Millbank which has closed Lambeth Bridge

 

 'Every Disaster Movie Starts with the Government Ignoring a Scientist'

 Another group is blocking Millbank at its north end

 and a jazz band is playing on Westminster Bridge

 and the tuba player shows off his gymnastic skills

 At the Lambeth Palace end of Lambeth Bridge faith groups are blocking the road. For no good reason police
  refused to let me walk across Lambeth Bridge despite showing by Press Card.

 Later, after the wedding, fthe faith groups marched across Westminster Bridge

 and so did XR's Red Brigade

 

 

 

 

 

and I went the other way to go home
