Extinction Rebellion roadblock
Parliament Square. London. Sat 31 Oct 2018
A woman sings at the protest
and a Muslim woman speaks
Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg sits in the crowd of people blocking
the roadway
Others have locked on in the road in front of Parliament
Some lay on the ground with wreaths and joined hands
and others held large banners across the road
A man stands on an anarchist flag and berates the police for protecting
those who are destroying our planet
Police officers talk to those taking part in the lock-in
Between speeches and songs the drummers play
George Monbiot makes a final address after the road block has gone
on for around an hour and a half
As his speech ends one of the organisers says that people can now
leave
Donnachadh McCarthy gets up and says he is going to keep blocking
the road and expects to be arrested
He invites others to also stay
George Barda also suggests that people might like to stay and while most
leave, enough remain to keep the road blocked
