Finally, a rebellion against Extinction Rebellion

h/t Instapundit
[Spiked] The people are rising up against the elites. No, I don’t mean Extinction Rebellion. I mean the Rebellion against Extinction Rebellion. Today’s clashes on the Tube between the commuting working classes and the time-rich, bourgeois fearmongers of the XR cult is a wonderful illustration of the elitist nature of eco-politics and of rising public fury with the eco-agenda.

For more than a week now the XR elitists have been disrupting everyday life. They’ve stopped flights from taking off, preventing people from going on well-earned holidays or visiting loved ones abroad. They’ve clogged up roads in city centres, irritating cab drivers and people on buses. And they’ve stormed Smithfield meat market and Billingsgate fish market ‐ smug middle-class vegans lecturing hard-working traders about the correct way to think and live.

But today their sneering campaigning went too far. Today they disrupted the Tube. Yes, this mass, largely electric public-transport system used by millions of people is the latest target of these arrogant disrupters of the masses’ lives. And people got pissed off. Really pissed off.

#1 They'll never stop because they're right right right and everyone else is wrong. This is how much they hate you.

#2 If someone feels I'm entitled to their opinions to the extent it disrupts my life, I guess they are entitled to my opinion of that too.

#3 That's a beautiful video. Orwell would have enjoyed the irony of the overeducated morons put in their place by working people of common sense. "Only an intellectual would do such a thing. Nobody else could be so stupid."

#6 The very same people that think that there must be a "Living Wage" and the "Freedom of the Individual" think nothing of stealing your personal time and income by obstructing your freedom of movement.

A pox on all of these smarmy little totalitarians. Your right to protest does not give you a right to hold the uninterested hostage and forced to listen to your message.
