Extinction Rebellion ​'shutdown' London

Extinction Rebellion are getting under the skin of the Government in the best way possible (though their timing might have been better, what with the Brexit fiasco).

So far there have been in excess of 600 arrests, and they are running out of cells to put the protesters in. The Home Secretary has instructed the police to get tougher - but as the police have had their numbers slashed due to the 2008 crash, there's not a lot they can do as it's a peaceful protest. One protester gets arrested and another takes their place. Extinction Rebellion have said the protest will continue until the 29th. Similar demonstrations are taking place worldwide.
