Enough is Enough XR march

London. Sat 22 Feb 2020



 People march along the road in Russell Square

 a banner along the side of the march 'Fossil Fuels = Death'

 Extinction Rebellion stress they are Nonviolent

 The samba band

 XR 'Rebel for Life' banner and three large flames

 Some loud chanting calling for system change not climate change as protesters go down Southampton Row

 The march continues down Kingsway

 

 

 'Enough! Lying Denying Crying Dying'

 I photograph the author with her poster again

 'Wildlife rebellion'

 A musician marches encoiled by his instrument

 

 'We can't Duck Climate Chaos'

 'Act Now For Your Students - Teach Climate Truth'

 'Love, Rage, Hope'

 

 

 'Enough Profit Over Planet'

 

 'Change is Now'

 

 

 

 Enough Floods'
     
 

 Marchers go through Piccadilly Circus

 

This was the most contentious banner on the march with both Metropolitan Police and XR logos and the message
'Both Working For A Safer London'. Many in XR were upset that the group decided to carry this banner on the
march as it had been intended purely for a protest against the police and their labelling of XR as 'domestic terrorists',
pointing out their very different approaches to working for a safer London rather than suggesting they were cooperating..
Advance publicity for the day had said their would be an act of civil disobedience at Piccadilly Circus which for some
reason was called off. I suspect this would have been against the Met's undergound control center under the protester's
feet in my photograph, which they took over from Westminster Council in 2017.
