They’re believed to be covering up fake Extinction Rebellion posters.

What do you do when you see posters with fake ‘racist rubbish’ plastered across the city? Cover it with a cat sticker, obviously.

It’s believed that the fake posters in question are part of a smear campaign against the global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion. Posters with the well-known hourglass logo and distinctive typography have been shared across social media platforms, but these have not been created by the climate action group.

Many of the posters have extremist messages about race and immigration, which do not reflect the views of Extinction Rebellion.
