Absolutely nothing on the @BBCNews website about the huge, non-disruptive @XRebellionUK protest in London this weekend.
With a little civil disobedience you get bad headlines. Without any, you get no headlines at all.
This isn't a suggestion by the way; merely an observation.

[Luke Pollard MP @LukePollard]

Overnight Plymouth’s Conservative council chopped down nearly 100 trees in the city centre. It’s a scene of environmental devastation and utter council vandalism. I’m appalled at the actions of the Tory Council. Sad day for our city. #plymouth #ArmadaWay

[RiverActionUK @RiverActionUK]

At 12:30 today, ESCAPE (End Sewage Convoys And Poollution Exmouth), @TransitionEX8, @PFExmouth, and others are joining together as part of a UK-wide day of action unveiling blue plaques to highlight the shocking state of our bathing waters. #DirtyWater #cleanupyouract

[#XRPlymouth @xrplymouth]

And finally a local MP who voted for the bill to reduce sewage discharges into our waterways @LukePollard #DirtyWater #pollution #SoutWestWater #CleenUpYourAct #SewageDischarge

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

Sickening isn't it... #DirtyWater #CutTheCrap

@Conservatives could have voted to protect our 💦 instead they literally voted for 💩

"Conservatives" with no interest in "conservation" 🤡🤡🤡🤡

#21April help us to disrupt this government of destruction

[Health for XR @DoctorsXr]

A great start to the dirty water campaign in Plymouth this morning!

@garystreeterSWD and @JohnnyMercerUK, care to explain why you didn’t want less sewage in our waterways?

[Rupert Read 🌍 🔥 @GreenRupertRead]

It's indefensible for the BBC to keep inviting Julia Hartley-Brewer onto #bbcqt: she's a climate-denier whose only credential is as a Murdoch mouthpiece & reliable clickbait.
They don’t invite flat-earthers on, so why climate-deniers?
The BBC should do much better.
>RT,to agree!

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

She was groomed by dark-money lobby groups working for Big Tobacco, Big Oil and foreign oligarchs. Now Liz Truss is in office and trashing this country on their behalf.

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

Seeing the interview in its entirety is sickening, but at the same time the bullying & patronising nature of it is getting plenty of coverage for what is the most crucial time for our future existence on this planet. Only one person came out of this well & that’s Miranda Whelehan

[Natalie Newton @splaterlie]

Horrified that South East Cornwall had 4,275 sewage dumps in 2020 - by South West Water - @sheryllmurray - are you taking action?

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

Arguably the biggest moment at #COP26 this week:

COP President @AlokSharma_RDG tells financiers to be like "swampy" and risk prison time to pressure governments on #ClimateAction .

This could be the most honest and meaningful pledge we've seen all week.

A thread.

[Natalie Newton @splaterlie]

Today world leaders begin their negotiations at #COP26. Four youth activists from Namibia, Uganda, Mexico & Bangladesh have defied all odds & are sailing to the UN climate summit to hold world leaders to account. They demand a seat at the table #MAPA

[Sir Peter Bottomley @PBottomleyMP]

I signed #ZeroHour's letter to the PM, delivered yesterday, calling for an international emergency strategy for climate and nature. As the PM said, "it's time to listen to the warnings of the scientists". The cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of legislation. @WorthingCan

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

My thoughts and love are with David’s family. They are all that matter now. This brings everything back. The pain, the loss, but also how much love the public gave us following the loss of Jo. I hope we can do the same for David now.

[Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social @zerohour_uk]

We’re hosting a briefing for MPs on 22 Sept entitled:
"Three COP outcomes we can’t live without."

Four world-leading climate & nature scientists will speak on a panel led by @Sir_David_King with Q&A.

Ask your MP to register - we've already sent them an invite #COP26 #ZeroHour

[Extinction Rebellion Bath 🌍 @XRBath]

@ExtinctionR protesters from Bath show what they think of Shell’s sponsorship of the @sciencemuseum exhibition "Our Future Planet", calling out a breathtakingly cynical attempt to greenwash their dirty business.

[Kate Raworth @KateRaworth]

I have no desire to be in the wrong side of the law. But I really don’t want to be on the wrong side of climate change. That’s why I stand with @XRebellionUK

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

As horrifying fires devastate large tracts of North America, Siberia, Greece and Turkey, have we already stepped over the brink? We're seeing the kind of escalating disasters some of us warned about for decades, as ecosystems are pushed past their tipping points.

@CornwallCouncil @crowdfunderuk This is #climatehypocrisy. We all have a part to play but you voted not to support the ONLY legislation in the UK that seeks to meaningfully tackle the climate & ecological crisis!

You are asking the people of Cornwall to take the lead whilst taking NO leadership!

#CEEbill NOW

[Saltash Extinction Rebellion @SaltashExtinct2]

👀 This folks is what #greenwash looks like 👀

Today Cornwall Council voted against supporting the #CEEbill and in the very same day they claim to have sustainability and creating a carbon free Cornwall at the heart of all they do.
Anyone else smell something? 🐃💩
