Extinction Rebellion Day 3
London. Wed 9 Oct 2019
People are still camping in Broad Sanctuary
and getting a giant octopus ready in Trafalgar Square
Charlie X (Neil Goodwind) with Pengi, his jackass African penguin
which faces extinction due to climate change
Protesters surround the hearse with the XR coffin which police have
tried to remove
People sit down in Whitehall
And police are trying to clear the protesters from Horse Guards Rd
warning those sitting down in the road they are going to be arrested
'For My Kids'
Giant birds on Horse Guards Road
are joined by wild animals
and pose with the Raised Voices choir
Police stand in line beside protesters in Birdcage Walk
Giant kangaroos bounced in to join the protesters
some were locked on in the road
and others had glued themselves together
A march came from Trafalgar Square with giant birds
and the pink octopus to support the protesters police were arresting
A band had marched down into Whitehall and stopped in front of a line
of police, deciding what they should do next
Police had earlier trashed the tents in Whitehall ane were standing
guard around them
Charlie X 'I spy a Climate Crisis'
People dance to the samba band
Police had decided to remove and trash people's tents and other belongings
but the protest continued - and a woman holds a loaf and a placard
'Crusty' in response to PM Boris Johnson's ignorant remarks
The mime group, now with both red and green robes, makes its way down
Northumberland Ave
and up the footbridge leading to the South Bank
I leave them to head to a book launch in Brick Lane
