An Arresting Experience

 

Nigel got arrested as Part of the Extinction Rebellion protests last week.  He was said to be sitting in the road in Parliament Square.

 He never normally finds himself on the wrong side of the police.  However, on Tuesday he took a day’s holiday, travelled into London, was arrested and carried bodily into a police van and detained for a number of hours in a distant police station on the opposite side of London from where we live, finally getting the train home at 11pm.

For him, the sacrifice was intensely necessary.  His aim, and that of the 700 other Extinction Rebellion arrestees, is to highlight the ongoing Climate Crisis and to try to get the government to act.

Getting arrested is Nigel’s answer to the question, ‘What on earth can I do to try to keep this planet habitable for my children and grandchildren?’

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The aim is to get the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill passed during this parliament. Please follow the links below (which will take you swiftly and easily through to your MP’s email) and ask them to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill.
