Wealthy celebrity Dame Emma Thompson flew 5400 miles to join the climate change protest

"Wearing dungarees with an 'Extinction Rebellion' sticker on the front, Ms Thompson told Sky News that she was ‘proud and thrilled’ to be part of the protests."

 

She had flown in from Los Angeles where she had appeared on a chat show.

 

'Extinction Rebellion' obviously believes that wealthy celebrities only use planes in absolute emergencies, as Dame Emma Thompson did. But ordinary people going on holiday must be prevented from flying or using public transport at all costs.

When are climate destroying carbon emissions NOT climate destroying carbon emissions?

 

When a titled and wealthy 'Extinction Rebellion' supporter uses them to travel business class 5,400 air miles on a fossil fuel powered jet.

Affluent middle class fascists are determined to impose their will on the rest of us. The lack of diversity in central London is shocking.

An 'Extinction Rebellion' flag with its overtly neo-fascist symbolism.

Is Jon Snow watching? He'll be shocked to see so many white people in one place again.

The hypocrisy is delicious.

It's also close to the none fascist anarchist symbol

During the years in which neoliberalism prevailed, our capacity for reason was under constant assault. The market was installed in our schools, competition became received wisdom in the classroom via league tables and a narrow inspection regime that stripped out the humanities. Our children were denied the opportunity to learn anything other than the basic skills required by the low-wage economy. Families were exhausted by the ongoing increase in work-place demands and dwindling income, depleted of energy as they struggled to manage and cynically served a diet of high definition TV drivel and distress. The press became adept at provoking an emotional response that bypassed our critical faculties. That exhaustion and emotional overload has left us struggling to make sense of the increasing complexities of life. We now face a political crisis as discredited politicians go frothing and spitting into oblivion. But they have set a trap for us all - environmental devastation. As moorland fires rage here in Yorkshire and in Scotland, in April (!), we must seek to appreciate the message that Extinction Rebellion attempt to articulate, no matter their personality or their tactics.

The flag appears to be made out of man-made plastic fibres which are fraying and could be polluting the planet.

I believe that the Extinction Rebellion symbol is intended to represent that sinister and terror-inducing item, the egg timer.
