This morning photographers arrived at No. 10 to capture footage of a new group, ‘Pause the System,’ turning up in hazmat outfits to demand the Government do more to fight Coronavirus (video after the jump).
The group’s demands include ‘pausing the system’ to respond to the ‘health emergency’ as well as demanding the Government “provide universal basic income and full statutory sick pay for all people, pause all mortgages and rents.”
Isn’t it a coincidence that every time there’s a ‘crisis’ the only solution is Marxism?
The group’s third demand – “prevent future pandemics” gives the game away:
“Both the climate emergency and the factory farming and trade of animals bring strong threats of future pandemics. The government must act to reduce emissions to net zero, halt biodiversity loss, as well as ban factory farming and the trade of animals.”
There is little information about who is behind the shady group given, however, the two press officer names – Steph Zupan and Dan Kidby – are, not to Guido’s surprise, Extinction Rebellion organizers and spokespeople.
Steph organized Animal Rebellion’s ‘Veggie Swarm Action’ last October, calling on the need “to engage in strategic direct action.”
She also wrote that “scientists have warned us for decades now about our fate if we don’t make serious changes.” She doesn’t seem so keen on scientific advice these days…
Dan Kidby is also a spokesman for Animal Rebellion, who wrote “Animal Rebellion is a movement of people from all walks of life who have come together because the evidence is clear: a transition to a plant-based food system is critical to avert climate breakdown and mass extinction,” helping to organize last year’s shut down of Smithfield Market.
The climate communists will hijack any cause to push their absurd agenda.

As loud and shrill as they are, they are a very tiny group consisting mainly of bored trust fund babies. The vast majority are what Lenin would have called “useful idiots”, but the radicals at the top of the heap are potentially dangerous. Only potentially because they lack popular support, but one has to watch out for the possibility that some of the more radicalized members may eventually turn to militancy.
Toronto suffered a black eye when it hosted a G7 conference. The Black Bloc ran rampant downtown. The CBC filmed the riot while the cops did nothing to stop it, except surveillance. The taxpayers suffer in the end. I don’t see much difference between XR and the Black Bloc.
Our governments regards them lightly.
Biden wants to end the use of Private cars frankly he should be made to walk no bullet proof Limos make this idiot walk and use a sailboat maybe he can use Greta’s Sailboat
Let’s apply a little thought here, something that the radical left seems incapable of doing. The climate change agenda calls for reducing private cars and replacing them with public transportation. Now which form of transportation is mostly likely to spread an infectious agent? Is it the automobiles with one or two people in them? Or is it the crowded busses and light rail cars?
Look how those jerks from the Just Stinks Rebellion are dressed they look like the total idiots they are I sure would like to see one of these Nit-Wits walk into bank and get them self arrested these people are Stupid
Gaia Fawkes? Seriously?
The extinction rebellion members have the goal of communism. They will use any issue to promote that cause. Their plan to prevent future pandemics is nothing more than an excuse to further the goals that they have had all the long. They want to ban factory farming and trade of animals. Yet, not a single new disease has come from animals in Western Civilization. Ebola comes from wild bats in Africa. AIDs comes from wild monkeys. Other diseases have emerged in China and you can bet they are not going to change their practices.
