...seems quite persuasive to me. https://nowhere.news/index.php/2019/04/01/dr-gail-marie-bradbrook-compassionate-revolutionary-for-hire/#sidr-nav My suspicions about XR's bona fides stem from the actions they are allowed to get away with in central London with the seeming facilitation by police / gvt. Compare that with the extreme and violent policing of fracking protests and the tree protests in Sheffield and XR certainly emits quite an undeniably suspicious whiff. To be sure, when a protest genuinely brings a challenge to an outcome desirous of TPTB the kid gloves are removed sharpish. Though denied and barely discussed I have no doubt that the tree felling in Sheffield is being undertaken to accommodate the 2020 roll-out of 5G. One only needs to contrast the treatment of residents in Sheffield when protecting beloved trees in their neighbourhood - protests which disrupt nothing but the barbarous activities of the tree-killers (protected as they are not by police but private security contractors) - these activists are roughly treated and arrested for mild 'offences' such as blowing toy trumpets and remonstrating from within their own property with tree-killers - the appalling treatment of those protesters rarely if ever make the national news and receive scant notice at a local level. Yet XR literally bring whole areas of the capital to a standstill and are allowed to do so and given more or less unlimited airtime to promote their cause. I for one am highly suspicious of XR.
