    XR Rebellion and Boris's Dad Archived Message

    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?
    His words encapsulate the problem some critics have with the idea that the big corporate capitalist should 'fix' the problem from their boardrooms.
    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?
