Hypocrisy of lawbreaker Johnson as he tells police to use ‘full force of law’ on Extinction Rebellion
Victims of Johnson’s law: Extinction Rebellion demonstrators block Lambeth Bridge.
I’m with Tom London (of Twitter fame) on this one. He tweeted:
“Hmm… Johnson broke the law.
“Johnson openly and provocatively threatened to break the law again.
“And now he has the gall to ask police to “use full force of law” against Extinction Rebellion.”
Good point!
Put another way:
Boris Johnson – what a two-faced hypocrite!
Boris Johnson has urged police to “use the full force of the law” to deal with climate change protesters.
Extinction Rebellion is currently blocking streets around London and has taken over Westminster and Lambeth bridges in the capital, bringing traffic to a standstill.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “People have the right to protest peacefully but they must do so within the law.
“The right to peaceful protest does not extend to unlawful activity – the Government expects the police to take a firm stance against protesters who significantly disrupt the lives of others and to use the full force of the law.”

Good point about the Extinction Rebellion crowd stopping people going about their lawful activities. They must have stopped a lot of Thomas Cook staff getting to their offices in central London. Anybody who would do that deserves to face the full rigour of the law.
