Extinction Rebellion blockades offices of fossil fuel hedge fund Marshall Wace and its puppet TV station GB News

https:https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2024/03/18/extinction-rebellion-blockades-offices-of-fossil-fuel-hedge-fund-marshall-wace-and-its-puppet-tv-station-gb-news/

Days after the government released a new definition of extremism, XR activists are blockading the offices of GB News and its multi-millionaire owner Paul Marshall branding him and his pet broadcaster as ‘the real extremists’ - and demanding an end to their torrent of climate lies and disinformation. The actions came after XR emailed letters to GB New Metropolitan Police MO6 unit, Secretary of State Michael Gove and Lord Walney. The letters demand an immediate investigation of GB News as an extremist organisation peddling an ideology of violence, hate and intolerance with the intent of undermining our liberal democracy, and for the broadcaster to be added to a new list of extremists. They also demand an inquiry into whether owner Marshall is a fit and proper person to hold a broadcasting licence.

Jury acquits Extinction Rebellion for Treasury Fire Engine action and Crown drops remaining trials after Judge suggests ‘not in public interest’

https:https://extinctionrebellion.uk/2023/10/30/jury-acquits-extinction-rebellion-for-treasury-fire-engine-action-and-crown-drops-remaining-trials-after-judge-suggests-not-in-public-interest/

Defendant Liam Norton, a 38-year old electrician from South London, said: “The jury’s verdict was a victory for common sense and a victory against the Treasury who, as our action highlighted, funded new fossil fuel projects abroad for five years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement. The Treasury continues to be complicit in mass death and suffering from climate breakdown by financing the development of new oil and gas fields in the North Sea including Rosebank. This ensures we can never keep within safe climate limits. This trial was never in the public interest. When will the Treasury be put on trial for criminal negligence?”
