More than 4,500 extra officers will be deployed on London’s streets over the bank holiday weekend to police a fresh wave of environmental protests and dozens of illegal raves to replace Notting Hill Carnival.
The Extinction Rebellion group plans to target airports and block roads with rallies, marches, and sit-ins as it renews its campaign of “non-violent direct action” which last year brought central London to a standstill.
Anneka Sutcliffe, from XR Actions Circle, said a “few thousand” people had indicated they would join the protests, with marches starting from Tate Britain, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral and Smithfield Market to converge at a central location.
Meanwhile, Met chiefs have urged people to stay away from the traditional carnival route and watch this year’s festivities online. Officers have intelligence that up to 80 unlicensed music events are being planned across the city.
Commander Bas Javid urged revelers: “Watch the celebration of Carnival from the comfort of your own home. We urge people not to come into the traditional area to celebrate. There are no events. Where there are large gatherings of people, officers will be deployed to interact with those gathered.”
The Metropolitan Police has responded to more than 1,000 unlicensed events since the end of June, with officers coming under attack at some in ugly scenes.
Mr. Javid added: “Unlicensed music events are a blight on our communities and cause untold distress and fear, often attracting criminal behavior and violence — if you have any information about an unlicensed music event, contact us so we can respond quickly to close them down.
“We know people will want to be out celebrating the holiday, and we want them to so safely — reminding Londoners of the restrictions which are in place to keep them safe.”
From today, anyone organizing an unlicensed music event or “any other unlawful gathering of 30 people or more” could face fines of up to £10,000.
Ken Marsh, chairman of the rank-and-file Met Police Federation, said: “Officers don’t want to be lambs to the slaughter this weekend and be attacked at unlicensed music events and other protests.
“We are ready to deal with anything put in front of us but I have great concerns it will get out of control. This weekend has all the ingredients to be very, very stressful.”

NORDS
There are 23 billion chickens on earth, if one sneezes we all get the flu, covids are the new norm
Soy and corn are gene modded to survive the poisons that kill soil, birds, bugs, fish, frogs & plants
Soy and corn are treated with petrochemicals and nano particles for market
Soy and corn are wrapped in gender bending containers for shipping and storage, then we eat it – get sick – and buy medicine from the same people.
WHY THERE WILL NEVER BE A 100% VEGAN GREEN ENERGY WORLD
Weather = flash floods + flash fires + flash rains + flash droughts + flash mobs
Climate = 30 years of weather + you don’t got time to worry about climate
4% OF MAMMALS ARE WILD + 4% OF ENERGY IS RENEWABLE
Solar and wind power are 2% of total global energy use after 20 years trying ( IEA stats 2020 )
By 2040 only 15% of global energy will be renewable
This is because electricity is a little over 20% of global energy use
By weight only 4% of mammals are wild, humans & livestock = 96%
Emissions went up 50% in 30 yrs , up 30% in 15 years
BAU = RCP8.5 = C02 @ 500 ppm by 2040 and 600 ppm by 2050 = 2X safe limit of 300 ppm
Renewables will be only 20% of global energy by 2050, even with new solar tech — thanks to AC, cryptos, chargers, EVs etc
By 2030 half the world will be severely short of water
Dams and bio-energy are ecological shit holes
80% of river life is gone and water dam wars are in Africa and Asia
50% of Euro Nord renewable electricity comes from burning imported trees
Nords burn corn, soy and palm oil in cars and will do so until 2030 so far
Nords burn plastic and recycled paper for electricity
In the last 20 years, petrochemical demand grew 7X human population
You can’t burn forests for electricity to save us from the climate
We can’t build wildfire suppression big enough to handle future wildfires
Forest fires will burn faster than we can plant trees
We don’t have enough land for bio-energy and carbon capture
To get 30% of energy from algae would take a country the size of Argentina
To get 20% of global energy from solar in 30 years, we need them 3X faster than now
By 2050, there will 78 million metric tons of solar panel waste, generating 6 million metric tons of new solar panel waste annually. Standard electronics recycling methods don’t cut it for solar panels.
By 2040 not even half of all cars will be electric
By 2040 we will have 10% less food, if we’re lucky
REAL CLIMATE JUSTICE = 100% PRIVATE GLOBAL CARBON UBI = 0% FOR GOVERNMENTS

As always with the Just Stinks Rebellion they will block the roads and streets until everyone agrees to their stupid demands and frankly they should put these jerks on a work group build Birdhouses and feeders,plant trees and clean up their mess they leave behind
