Extinction Rebellion 'to temporarily shift away from public disruption'

The climate activists are aiming to attract more people to their cause through a less confrontational approach, admitting "very little has changed".

Probably realised it’s not the best way to attract support for the cause!

there are many factions within xr. xr has never really disrupted much!

After such an unseasonably hot summer and cold snaps during the winter, a lot of the public would probably be prepared to listen if they hadn't based their PR strategy on being Fast Show characters.

its been a brilliant campaign so far - best direct action activity since the suffragettes.

the next phase will see a change in tactics

and the phase after that will be adjusted again - its not a popularity contest - humans have to be taken out of their comfort zone and significant change is required - not many are going to like it, but it has to be done.

its been the only way to get people like you to watch and listen - thats why you can now comment on it on a football message board based in the north east of england.

the press and media have been most efficient

It’s strange how the public view The Suffragettes through rose coloured glasses for what they achieved.
Most (in todays world) would have had them locked up.
Some of their activities make extinction rebellion look like angels.

I hate the environment, me. I think that it's brilliant that we're destroying the planet. Stupid bloody activists drawing attention to it. What are they thinking?

Good point. In the period 1912-14 the Suffragettes embarked on an escalating campaign of violence and disruption which was only halted with the outbreak of war. They used the tactics of "Terrorism" including IEDs, Arson, letter bombs and even attempted assassinations. 5 died including a Suffragette many more were injured.
