Eco-warriors acting against people who own and drive 4x4s in Bristol have struck again - by claiming responsibility for letting down the tyres on 55 vehicles in Clifton overnight.
The self-named 'Tyre Extinguishers' say the 55 vehicles had one tyre let down, with the owner notified by a leaflet left on the windscreen. The group say they 'disarmed' the 55 vehicles in the early hours of this morning, Wednesday, October 26, and that made Bristol the 'most extinguished city in the world'.
There are 'Tyre Extinguisher' groups across the world, and the campaign's website appears to be keeping score of the number of vehicles that have been targeted. Bristol activists are claiming they have so far let down tyres on 504 vehicles since the campaign began in February this year, with Paris second, a couple of hundred vehicles behind.
