Strange to cheer Boris Johnson's father Stanley Johnson, wearing an Extinction Rebellion badge on his label and sitting on a platform with Rupert Read, saying "Capitalism caused this problem and now Capitalism must fix it". Green light for the usual suspects to continue profiteering?

Who will keep government and corporates accountable and transparent while they 'fix' the problems?
George Monbiot's out on the street holding an XR banner but establishment media haven't provided critical oversight on so many important issues, can we trust them to do so now?
