Extinction rebellion protestor dragged off tube train roof

[Deleted member 45676]

They’ve more than made their point. Climbing on the roof of a tube where folk are just trying to go out and earn a crust at 7am is a step too far. Don’t agree with him getting filled in but after saying they wouldn’t affect people’s day to day business what did they expect.

Just watched this on BBC Breakfast, fair play to the commuters, doing what the authorities won't.

The afters may have been a bit much, but can understand they happened

 

[robbied1]

Deserved to be filled in

 

[I am Boss]

Hope it hurt and hopefully these terrorists keep getting a hiding until they disappear

 

[Billy Batts]

That twat on the top of the train was kicking out at the commuters himself. No sympathy that he got a hiding. Pondlife.

Every single person I’ve heard speaking about ‘the cause’ has nothing scientific or credible to back up their argument.

Yeah, doing stuff like that in East London was not the best idea.

 

[PNEFC111]

Preventing hard working folk trying to earn a living - that’s a great PR exercise.

XR have actually managed to make a serious negative impact on their cause.

Their wider ideology of anarchy and anti capitalist agenda has really bubbled to the surface during these protests and the real issue has been marginalised.

Staggeringly poor campaign.

 

[squashjoe]

They wont be back in Canning Town anytime soon.

 

[What A Waster]

Long overdue.
Now the public are fighting back they'll soon disappear back to their vegan discos or whatever they do. Tramps.

 

[Shambo]

they chose east London to do this???!!

 

[Burnopfield Mackem]

About time the hard working public fought back against these work shy vandals. Let’s hope the tide is turning and the sympathetic feelings towards these tree hugging tramps now disappears. Well done the commuters that’s what makes Britain great.

If i got pissed up and stood on the roof of a tube train shouting about something nobody else cared about then I'd probably end up in jail. These crusty freaks are getting away with doing this all the time.

Stopping people from going to work and from getting home to see their loved ones is certainly the way to convert people to your way of thinking isn't it?
These morons live in a bubble. They think people are actually interested.
I suppose they won't have much heart for a square go everytime they try and protest and they'll soon disappear.

 

[errant]

shouting about something nobody else cared about

what was he shouting about?

who's the morons? whos in the bubble?

 

[Dennis]

I thought these scruffs wanted people to use public transport? Or are they just looking to be bellends?

What rank do you hold in the extinction rebellion?

Haha exactly.

 

[Lukas73]

absolutely right they get a kicking.....people out working hard while these twats dick about, that's not how you get make a point about the environment.....go pick some rubbish off the beaches, fuck me if the local cub scouts can do it then so can you.....don't just turn up in London and try to disrupt people trying to make a living.

.....even the Camera man who was filming it for them got dragged out and a few digs....

won't be doing that again then Tarquin will you....

When pressed they actually contradict themselves in a truly embarrassing fashion. But hey, in today's climate, it's all about who can shout the loudest not do the most. I understand they're trying to make a point but the way they go about it and their lack of suggestions and/or sensible demands makes me cringe.

One way to get people to listen to you is to really piss them off first.

Absolutely. Or go on TV and demand this that and the other without taking those hits yourself. I wish I had their gall.
