For an apparently inchoate protest movement, Extinction Rebellion certainly seem to have caught the limelight.
Here's what the inveterate, smug metropolitan Labour cultural elitist hack Polly Toynbee spewed forth on Thursday April 18:
" Day four of Extinction Rebellion, which has been a phenomenal success, as climate protesters occupy four pressure points in Britain’s congested capital. Everything has conspired to maximise attention for their climate cause, with the news unnaturally quiet in this pause in Brexit hostilities.
The sun shines on them as Waterloo Bridge is magically transformed into the Boris Johnson £53m garden bridge that never was, with a long line of trees in big pots down the middle and rows of flowers. The calm of the carless river crossing is a good advertisement for how cities might be. “Come and join us, take time off work,” Gail Bradbrook, one of the organisers, exhorted Today programme listeners this morning. She’s right. All who can should be there. "
And on and on the haggard bien pensant hack drivelled ad nauseam.
The strapline " trio charged " refers to three eco-vandals who unlawfully endangered the health and safety of passengers and sabotaged the efficient operation of the light railway by having two trespassers on a train carriage roof and a third who super-glued themselves to another carriage on the platform.This is criminality pure and simple.
BBC Radio 5Live in particular was / is being pimped out to be the broadcasting arm of XR ( as the Occupy/Anonymous/Green Soros EU funded hackers and activists like to abbreviate their own extinction rebellion moniker ) .
On April 17th ,( day 3 of the Eco-millenarianist take over of our capital city) the Radio 5 presenter Rachel Burden hosted a phone -in where over population and increasing material consumption were repeatedly identified and demonised as the primary cause of the ecological apocalypse that only hordes of lecturers,teachers,sundry academics,lawyers and other intelligent left wing middle class virtue signallers could help avert.
For educated people, not one of them mentioned the 18th Century polemicist Malthus on whose 1798 writings on population numbers they so clearly base their entire deranged,paranoid belief system.The state sponsored eugenics policies of the Scandinavian countries right up to the 1970s never got a mention nor did China's utterly insane Maoist " one child " policy.
And yet somehow the Green,vegan Islington hipster Labour intelligentsia insisted that people needed to have fewer children.No doubt they'll be the ones enforcing such policies;out of necessity obviously and not just because they believe that ordinary folk and the lives they lead are a scourge upon Mother earth.
And then there's the XR ,Green,Vegan,LIb-Lab veneration of the pseudo-prophet David Attenborough. An evergreen on the BBC with his wide-eyed manic stare and pseudo biblical pronouncements; but discussing him or them any further would be environmentally damaging.
There's already more than enough horseshit to go round.

Background: Here's what BBC News OnLine had to report:-
The Met Police said he was arrested for failing to surrender to the court.
Ecuador's president Lenin Moreno said it withdrew Mr Assange's asylum after his repeated violations of international conventions.
But Wikileaks tweeted that Ecuador had acted illegally in terminating Mr Assange's political asylum "in violation of international law".
Home Secretary Sajid Javid tweeted: "I can confirm Julian Assange is now in police custody and rightly facing justice in the UK"
It's a sad day for whistle-blowers, investigative journalists and truth-diggers everywhere.It's an even sadder day for what tattered shreds remain of the UK's reputation for the integrity of the rule of law and respect for truth and justice.
EU partner and NATO ally Turkey routinely persecutes,arrests,condemns by show-trials and imprisons thousands of journalists. In Malta. ( EU member state and member of the British Commonwealth), a government with much to fear sees to it that a fearless,incisive investigative journalist is murdered by a car bomb.In Slovakia,another EU member state,they do things a little differently.An investigative journalist exposing Italian Mafia links to high state officials is ruthlessly gunned down alongside his girlfriend.
No mainstream political party or politician of any consequence or standing in the UK let alone the rest of the EU has ever seriously addressed this carnage being visited upon the freedom of the Press and those exposing criminality of the highest order. Virtually no Trades Union nor extra-parliamentary organisation of the Left has even summoned up the superficial courage to voice outrage or organise against this.
The metropolitan Police itself,as journalist and Commentator nonpareil, Peter Hitchens once opined,are nothing more than " paramilitary social workers ".
Hundreds of law-abiding,respectable subjects of Her Majesty are brazenly accosted by the Police on a daily basis and subjected to State sanctioned harassment,intimidation and outright persecution on the ludicrous basis of having been reported - denounced anonymously, for having used what the Law calls " hate speech ". Hate speech is actually defined as -whatever the person reporting it as being, even if they themselves weren't the object of whatever was said or written about!
Julian Assange is being prepared for extradition to the USA to face the judgemental wrath of the Washington DC neocon /liberal humanitarian interventionist co-establishment.
In short,Julian Assange has made career of pissing off the wrong people more than just once too often and their patience has paid off.
As for me, I'm with the dissidents,the general nuisances to whatever establishment status quo feels like its being pissed off.

Ecuador's president Lenin Moreno said it withdrew Mr Assange's asylum after his repeated violations of international conventions.
But Wikileaks tweeted that Ecuador had acted illegally in terminating Mr Assange's political asylum "in violation of international law".
