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
