715 arrests in #London because of #ClimateChange. The average arrest taking 4 hours (generous). That’s 119 days dealing with protestors.

That’s equivalent to a third of the year taken away from REAL emergencies. Yes change needs to happen but go about it in a different way?

@BBCiPlayer Arron you should be so proud of yourself.

In less than two days the #justgiving page I set up for Arron has had more than 80 strangers donate to it as they are truly inspired by him. 👏🏻

I’ve been contacted by Arron since and he’s very graciously chuffed. He is an inspiration - Well done Arron #NotAllHeroesWearCapes 👏🏻
