I think the Extinction Rebellion need to be more organised. It appears from what i can gather some of these events are random, by random people, and as we have seen this week, if you hold random events that directly impact on people's lives, then it leads to the possibility of creating a bad reaction.

If people know the events are going to happen, then at least you can plan around it. Imagine going to a hospital appointment, the chances of getting that appointment rearranged could involve weeks of waiting, hence stuff like that is a direct impact. And that's only a very small sample of a mulitude of reasons for incurring anger.

I agree, some are losing public support with their actions. They need to fall in line with the main group and organised events.

It’s quite well organised tbf, and they debated and voted on whether they should target the tube and overground rail stations the other week. Over 70% said they shouldn’t, yet some Mavericks did it anyway.

It was a massive OG and one admitted by ER themselves.

There’s a very fine balance between disruptive protests that attract massive attention but keep most people on side, and acts that just piss people off and thus are counter productive.

I think they have a great cause, and don't really want them driven over <laugh> They piss people off with their disruption tactics though. It's not the general population they should be targeting.

Why target public transport?

Slashing the tires of any car costing £100k+ would be far more productive :bandit:
