‘Satirical’ blue plaques highlighting Conservative MPs in the Bristol area and the decision to allow water companies to release raw sewage into rivers and the sea have been fixed to prominent landmarks in the city.
The action this morning (Saturday) was carried out by Extinction Rebellion activists, who joined with wild swimmers and health professionals for the stunt.
Plaques have been fixed at various spots around the Floating Harbour, and in Keynsham and on the River Frome in South Gloucestershire. At the Conham River Park near Hanham, one of the activists dressed as North East Somerset MP Jacob Rees-Mogg for the occasion, and was accompanied by a samba band.
