Extinction Rebellion Protesters Huddle Around The Speaker S Seat In The Commons

“We live in a vibrant parliamentary democracy where everyone enjoys the right to lawful, peaceful protest,” he said. “However, the public is increasingly outraged by the attention-seeking antics of a small group of publicity-hungry offenders intent on upsetting the rest of us.” Extinction Rebellion, which is also responsible for London transport chaos and the blockade of newspaper printing presses, posted a photo on Twitter showing three members holding hands in front of the chair, with two other members holding signs. Protesters delivered a speech calling for a “convention” of voters to override the government. Joe Short, an activist from Bristol who was locked in the gates, said the assembly was an “alternative form of democracy, which could be much more effective in tackling problems like climate change”. Another campaigner from Northamptonshire, who gave his name as Al, said protesters had smuggled banners into the House of Commons in a “bag within a bag”. He told the PA news agency: “The action today was to form a circle around the president’s chair. People crowded around the speaker’s chair. They didn’t destroy the speaker’s chair in any way and stuck to each other.” The Speaker’s Chair was given to Parliament by the nation of Australia and is made from black bean from North Queensland. The original was destroyed when the Commons was bombed in 1941. Both the Commons and Lords are in recess until Monday.
