A group of climate protesters have struck again in Bristol after deflating the tyres of 40 vehicles in one area of the city overnight.
The Tyre Extinguishers "disarmed" - as they put it - 40 SUVs in Clifton on Wednesday night (June 15) to highlight their aim to ban the vehicle in cities. This protest means the leaderless group has now passed the threshold of 5,000 SUVs targeted across the UK and even further afield as the movement spreads across Europe.
Marion Walker, Tyre Extinguishers spokesperson, said "5,000 SUVs is just the beginning. Once you start noticing the way these huge death machines dominate our cities, you can't unsee it. We expect more and more people to take action until it's impossible to own an SUV in the world's urban areas."
