Climate change activists Extinction Rebellion staged a “die-in” outside BBC Question Time’s studio. Footage shows protestors lying down face first in the carpark, surrounded by yellow and green flags. High-profile protests by Extinction Rebellion in recent months has resulted in more than 1,000 people arrested amid huge disruption. The video was posted to Twitter, captioned: “Extinction rebellion protest going on outside @bbcquestiontime”.


Extinction Rebellion also handed out leaflets to the BBC Question Time audience, and urged the show to debate climate change instead of Brexit. The guests on BBC Question Time panel included Amber Rudd, Jonathan Reynolds, Anna Soubry, Nigel Farage and John Mills. The group claimed Mr Farage used a different entrance and was behind a "wall of police". Extinction Rebellion Northampton earlier tweeted: “Nigel Farage was the only panel member that declined to interact with us tonight.

“Instead, his car drove past us at high speed and he entered the building through a different entrance behind a wall of police. This speaks volumes about him. #ExtinctionRebellion #ActNow”. Earlier the group tweeted: “Tonight we stage our die-in at BBC Question Time. Meet at the entrance to Waitrose carpark NN4 6HP at 17:45. “Further instructions will be given out then. Anyone wishing to participate will be able to - new members welcome!” The climate change group later added: “Currently staging our die-in here at BBC Question Time with people handing out leaflets to the audience as well.”
