Good lord. Woods cannot describe how stupid that is.
Is that because climate change has already destroyed Fangorn Forest?

At least at Canary Wharf trains can bypass the stuck unit without too much disruption. Looks like TfL did a deal with them!News just in: A man has glued himself to the DLR car with the protesters on.

I predict the police making a trip to the local hardware store for some Acetone.News just in: A man has glued himself to the DLR car with the protesters on.

Yes they can. I wonder if the protesters realised that when they started this?At least at Canary Wharf trains can bypass the stuck unit without too much disruption. Looks like TfL did a deal with them!
Wait... buses which produce pollution*. Wow.Apparently the Police have no more resources / space to arrest anyone else, so are looking to book other accommodation!
XR suggested that the Police hire buses to transport those they arrest too, to speed things up.
New photo of the man who has glued himself to a DLR carriage. Just in case anyone's interested.

EDIT: Wifi has also been switched off on the Tube to deter protesters, according to

London has at least 10 electric only bus routes . .Wait... buses which produce pollution*. Wow.
*I know that London's buses produce less CO2 now than before, but they still produce some.
Yes. Very considerate of him.At least gluing to glass doesn't damage the train or paint work. Thoughtful!
Ah, but are they going to use these electric bus routes to move those who have been arrested?London has at least 10 electric only bus routes . .
Maybe they asked? The 507 runs nearby run by BYD electric buses.Ah, but are they going to use these electric bus routes to move those who have been arrested?

Oh OK. Didn't think of that. Sorry.Maybe they asked? The 507 runs nearby run by BYD electric buses.
Perhaps a DLR fitter could be sent to just remove the window glass...British Transport Police (BTP) said specialist units trained in protest removal have been scrambled to the scene, while Transport for London reported minor delays on the DLR.
Probably depends on how the electricity was created.
Idiots, he lot of them. They are just as bad, if not worse, than other recent protests we have seen both for and against Brexit with considerably more arrests. I wonder how much the policing of this will cost, including the processing and charging of the idiots, and how environmentally friendly that is
I was expecting, well hoping maybe to read some balanced debate this morning!
Your house is on fire, it is burning. If you continue to do nothing or it will burn down.
The last 10 years were the hottest ever, as were the last 3. Last year was the hottest on record and this year is hotter. The effects are catastrophic for all of us and are soon to become irreversible.
Extreme weather events that used to happen every so often now occur regularly and will get far worse. They cost significantly more than some protesting. Lines such as Conwy Valley will be lost forever.
Sea levels are rising, no longer by fractions of a millimetre per year, but by millimetres and soon to be centimetres per year. Ice is melting at 10 times the predicted level from above and underneath. The railway trough Dawlish has a finite life before it is lost in not centuries but decades.
School children are striking on Fridays to tell you, Extinction Rebellion have successfully got everyone talking. They are backed by Scientists, Climate experts, Academics and Engineers. These people are very well informed and very well-funded. They will not stop until you listen and act.
Government and fossil businesses are not telling the truth. They are lying to you, in cahoots with some of the press. Do not be fooled. Large Investors are pulling out of fossil fuel investments as fast as they can, and they know to well the cost if they do not switch their funds!
The UK Government pay 1000’s of times as much subsidy into fossil fuels than renewables, have banned on shore wind, cut grants and support. The Oil industry spends £100’s of millions per year trying to stop electrification and renewables by buying up & stopping ideas and spreading fake information to you all. Get real! They are not acting; they are dragging their feet and blocking progress a lot by pushing for a date well after almost every other country on planet earth. UK says no fossil transport from 2040. The rest of the world has 2025-2030 as a date.
I have switched to renewable energy for heat & power and an electric car. It has not come at a cost to me, it has saved me money as it is cheaper in so many ways.
You can all switch to save the planet and to save money, if not the planet maybe some railway line you hold dear.
Instead of challenging me or these protesters, challenge yourselves to do something and sooner than later!
Fair point.Perhaps a DLR fitter could be sent to just remove the window glass...
The anti-brexit march (400,000 minimum) had no arrests. No damage, no disorder.
Not the marching type myself, but the right to protest is important so long as it is done properly and with thought to others.
Just start the train. His hand will soon come away, as will hopefully the rest of his arm and his head on a piece of trackside furniture.
If I had the time I’d go and park my diesel car next to them and just leave it running until it nearly ran out of fuel, and then go and fill up and do it all again. But some of us have stuff to do with our lives.
Oh dear.
I'll change it to say "words", as intended.

Oh OK. I'll change it back then!Haha! I think I liked it better as 'woods'. It was still obvious what you meant, and it seemed somehow rather appropriate
We're not disagreeing with the cause, we're disagreeing with their actions.
Umm, why?
