Emetic? Positively projectile vomit inducing. The whole thing reads like it was dictated by a messianic figure in white robes, eyes closed and hands extended to the heavens while the scribes scribble. Very difficult to read with a straight face but a fine example of quasi mystic spin. Bravo!

Commuters who attacked Extinction Rebellion Tube protesters could face police investigation - latest news
"Black people"????
WTF? Are "black people" separate to Londoners?
Why couldn't they just start it with "To Londoners - Please Read" ?

Unusual number of police vans parked up on perimeters of traf square...12 of them. A definite police presence on the ground. A few cars also parked up. One person with a placard in the square with very small crowd listening . Why is the actual Column taped off? And signs saying no climbing on the lions 
. XR related or just building works? No building works going on, but it was chucking it down. The poor bloke dressed as Yoda was saturated.

They've faced a fair bit of criticism from ID politics types, I do see them going down that road a bit. They're starting an XR Liberation sub group which seems to be about that mostly, so I'm not surprised to see this clumsy wording.

It's like an attempt at an inclusive call of arms written by my Nan.
Ok, quite a few Nans in the movement, and that's all good, but someone proof-read it while we still have a few face-palms left in the server cache ffs.

I know a small number of people who *really love* their job.
Must be quite an amazing thing.

It was posted on the Facebook page of the London branch so it's highly likely to have been written by someone on here. I can think of several possible culpritsIt's like an attempt at an inclusive call of arms written by my Nan.

Do we have many XR on here? They're very quiet on this thread...

As a staunch supporter of law and order I assume you are lobbying the judiciary to come down hard on these miscreants, yeah?

This seems to be a reasonable summary of many of the arguments I've seen on FB today:
"Those fucking XR protesters - they're all middle class/rich/dole scroungers/stupid/scum/never had a proper job/lazy fuckers/hypocrites"
"Hold on, isn't this kind of blanket negative demonising/stereotyping a bit like the 'Outraged From Surrey' stuff you read in the online comments page of the Daily Mail?"
"OMG THIS IS GASLIGHTING!"

Nah. Couldn't give a toss, tbh. I like seeing them get fucked over and enjoy the outrage and pearl clutching by certain wallies on here but that's about it.

Maybe they're busy being non-armchair activists?

Just to note I linked something from this website before and it was swiftly pointed out to me that their two main writers (Cory Morningstar and Vanessa Beeley) have more than questionable views on assad/syria

I meant the thugs whom the police are investigating, not the warrior Buddhist monk and his mates...

The guy who kicked the commuter in the head got what he deserved but more generally, yeah, you can't go around beating people up. Drag them off the trains, egg them, chuck soft stuff at them by all means ...
