Angry commuters get the message home to extinction rebellion that tube trains are actually environmentally friendly !!!!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-50079716

Commuters have dragged climate change protesters from the roof of a London Underground train.

Extinction Rebellion activists climbed on top of trains at Stratford, Canning Town and Shadwell during Thursday's rush hour.

The Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway were earlier partially suspended. Minor delays are still reported on the lines.

Four protesters have been arrested, British Transport Police (BTP) said.

Extinction Rebellion said the disruption was "necessary to highlight the emergency".

One commuter shouted at protesters on the top of the Tube train: "I have to get to work too - I have to feed my kids."

n a statement BTP said: "We continue to urge protesters to not target the London Underground network. This is dangerous, not only for protesters but for commuters.

"We have increased our patrols on the London Underground and at other rail hubs throughout London."




These climate change protesters are winning no friends like this many of these people affected are making a conscious choice to not use vehicles generating CO2 and quite frankly I don't think dragging them off the roof was over the top
