Wow it’s been a busy couple of days here in Bristol thanks to the XR people – and in a good way. Here’s a partial list of all the things the rebels got up to in the name of #ActNow; Blocking roads at Cabot Circus, semi-naked protest at Mayor Marvin’s speech, a car-lock-on on College Green, big march though the streets, Billy Bragg played on College Green… Such actions have been repeated all over the UK from London to Cardiff to Oxford to Leeds and beyond. This really feels like a movement on the rising tides! Here’s a few choice tweets;

Have returned to Bristol to find the @XRBristol protest camp right under my nose on Bristol Bridge. Am thoroughly enjoying all the closed roads, music and friendly atmosphere. A welcome change from the usual cars, buses and traffic jams. Keep the roads traffic free, please. pic.twitter.com/Dby4mIBRsu — Jane 👩 (@Bristol_Jane) July 16, 2019
