Extinction Rebellion protestors closed off sections of central London as the group launched two weeks of actions targeting the government’s failure to sufficiently address the threat of climate change. The Metropolitan Police said 135 arrests had been made by early afternoon.
The group has faced more active policing than during actions in April, with protestors today cleared from Lambeth Bridge hours after the protestors occupied the space— a marked change in approach to the spring action in which campaigners were allowed to occupy sites across central London for almost two weeks.
