The world of the rich, aristocratic, eco-fascist collided head on with the world of ordinary working class Londoners today at Canning Town, and the eco-fascists found that outside of their little bubble, that they are despised. According to various press reports and particularly the report on the Guido Fawkes site, Extinction Rebellion protestors climbed on top of Jubilee line trains at the station as part of their ongoing protest. This obviously delayed commuters trying to get to work. The police were called but apparently the police did sod all and took ages to arrive anyway.

Because of the delay to their journeys, delays that were costing the commuters money, the waiting passengers decided to bypass the useless and ineffective Metropolitan Police and deal with the middle and upper class crusties themselves. The commuters pulled the eco-fascists off of the roof of the train, threw objects at them and at one point could be seen on video climbing on top of the train to push the crusties off. There was no sign that I could see that there were any police on the platform at all. The only noticeably official person there was a London Underground worker who hustled a bearded crusty out of the way before the angry commuters could hurt him.

Members of the public who were at Canning Town seemed to have lost patience with this bunch of arrogant ‘Tarquins’ judging by the way that they were enthusiastically pummelling the bearded crusty who was pulled by his legs from the train carriage roof. I’m not surprised to see this happening as these Extinction Rebellion types have been getting in ordinary Londoner’s way and in their faces, with the apparent connivance of the police and London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan. This mob of the scions of the wealthy and well connected have been blocking roads, attacking buildings, impeding patients trying to get to hospital and generally being the obnoxious, entitled dickheads that they are.

Over the course of Extinction Rebellion’s protests they have shown themselves up for what they are, which is rich kids campaigning for a world in which they are ‘all right Jack’ whilst the rest of the population, the working class bit, have to freeze and starve because of unfounded claims that ‘the earth is burning’. Extinction Rebellion is, as others have described them, a classic example of a group of rich people campaigning for policies that will make everyone else poorer and more miserable. They would deny the population access to transport, heating, cheap food, holidays and take the world back to the stone age if any of their policies were ever made reality.

The action at Canning Town has shown that this mob of middle and upper class Lefties have very very little support among the general population and especially amongst those who have to work for a living. Whilst I’m no fan of vigilantism, I have to say that the commuters had, because of the failure of the police to deal with these eco-fascists effectively, little choice but to take the law into their own hands here. This is because there didn’t seem to be any police around to remove the crusties from the train. When there are no police then the public have few options but to do the police’s job for them.
