Good God Extinction Rebellion blocking a funeral hearse.

[HelenaDove]

I know where they are coming from but for the love of God you dont block and/or lie under a funeral hearse. FGS think of the relatives and friends of the deceased and how they are feeling.

Unfuckingreal!

Definitely Trafalgar Square. Now we have the Brexit March to wade through today.

Starts almost outside my place (so there will be loads of people and traffic) and of course I need to go right through it to get my errands done and get to appointments today.

At least there won’t be any fighting- oh god please don’t let the middle aged flat-cap racists turn up (the ones that look like football hooligans who physically ages but never grow up). They pop up at various marches and demos to ‘protest’ (and get led away by the police). They tend to congregate at the pub next door. Rentathug.

Oh god. Brexit marches meets XR. I need some winter boots and was going to pop uptown. No way I'm getting anywhere by bus today. Guess I should avoid then.

Tubes might be ok - usually it’s circle and district gong around Victoria-st James-westminster that gets busy.

True, but I would prefer not to spend extra. You have to travel to the tube as I live south of the river.

Think I'll go a bit later in the afternoon perhaps.

Oxford Circus - busy but not heaving. Didn’t see any XR types.

Thanks! Going tomorrow instead then. Should be even better hopefully. There and back easily. I literally just want one item.

Check if the X-R are planning anything. I thought Friday was their last day but someone told me it was this weekend but there wasn’t much today because there was too much politics happening!

"Bet OP is feeling a bit of a tool now" Said about me over on reddit the night i started this thread.

Nope Vindicated would be much closer to the mark.

I really wish they would just fuck right off now.

People who live and work in town are having to schlep to work and school, schlep home again (often lugging laptop and groceries) passing them having a jolly old time dancing, doing yoga and wafting up and down the street dressed like a menstrual cycle (is that what the red weeping widows are?).

Go and block up your own streets and schools for a change. Sit outside your granny’s old folks home or local hospital/fire station and make a nuisance of yourself there.

Or better still - use the coffers for something practical and useful rather than making a minority ‘feel better’ that they are ‘doing something’.
