Bristol SUV owner 'p***** off' after climate activists deflate his tyres

The owner of an SUV in Bristol has been left 'p*****off' after climate activists deflated his tyres in Clifton on Tuesday (May 17). The vehicle owner, who asked not to be named, had the air in his wheels let down by a group which calls itself the Tyre Extinguishers.

The group has targeted the vehicles across the country and in Bristol on multiple occasions, as part of a campaign to encourage people to take action against urban SUVs to help achieve climate change. But the Clifton SUV owner says that the incident left him "p***** off" after he discovered what had happened yesterday (May 18), and that it would not encourage him to get rid of his vehicle.

He told Bristol Live: "Nobody should tell us what car we should or shouldn't be driving except for the government themselves, certainly not somebody who's got an idea about it and decides they don't like them for whatever reason.
