Extinction Rebellion says it will continue to put people on the streets in defiance of Government steps to crack down on disruptive “guerrilla protests”.
The climate change protest group says the Government is foolish to believe that plans to curb its activities would stop people taking to the streets to demand action to ensure "a safe future for people in the UK and around the world", GB News reported.
The group set out its intention to take action in September following the announcement of the Public Order Bill in the Queen’s Speech earlier this week. This proposed harsher sentences and new criminal offences for those involved in some types of protest, including “locking on” to public transport infrastructure or gluing themselves to roads.
