You can bet your reusable water bottle that someone is marching for the planet. Today, it’s a group called Extinction Rebellion Lite — they’re the ones who glue themselves to things but promise to use eco-friendly glue.
They’re outside Parliament, loudly arguing about carbon emissions while holding signs that are printed on recycled cardboard. I respect the commitment, even if the sign says “The End is Nigh” in a very cheerful font.
One protester is dressed as a melting polar bear. He looks very warm. I hope someone hands him a vegan ice lolly.
Also Happening: The “Save Our Hedgehogs” March
Yes, you read that right. A small but passionate group is walking from Hyde Park to the Ministry of Housing, demanding hedgehog-friendly speed bumps on suburban streets.
Their chants are adorable: “What do we want? Prickly corridors! When do we want them? Now!” I’m not joking. This is a real thing that happens here.
One lady has brought her actual hedgehog, Spike, who is wearing a tiny protest vest. Spike looks sleepy but determined. I’ve never been more inspired by a rodent.
