They were trying to do the right Jane I don't know what drives you to this should have stood up to say them to just be should have stood up to say them into government we need to store sort of the vitamin government are doing on the no no well no it is ahead there's many other countries contempt that is going on here but this caught the Scottish government as a tent and as as best as they can with the hands tied behind the back with anguished g.d. It just just one money. That is no such thing as money. Money money is something that we just invented to control the sales Well we might as well also what these people at the station yesterday need to and to put food on the table for that you're I'm suggesting follow through budget with me for a 2nd George if they'd done right and and support people until the tree gnocchi Yes he's not going to walk and they were fired for no gain to what by their employers how does not what has been done in the defense as an employer in many different people.

We the whole communism Komi known as not communism Russia is not communist China is not communist this totalitarianism Communism is a common people people working towards a common good calling. Unity a common people living together and a peaceful society will have a role to play in this George to me What are you doing it's an example to all this morning that what you're doing to try and do your speed I'm speaking to you speaking to as many people listening to this program and I hope people actually listen to what I'm saying we can all do it together that's what Coleman community does and that's why I have always been p. Now you can become ill from so I'm not going to cut your foot so I'm just trying to understand the points that you're making because you know that the people who are trying to get to work yesterday they were not understanding the point that extinction rebellion was trying to meet the message I don't know I don't know them . General I know because the listener. Find quite frankly. Propaganda is being put forward which I mean last very carefully but I always listen carefully George Ok Ok great live I'm talking about the brakes a situation Ok. Sleep with the baby just fine but we be keep on going by to the public as far as for the. Opinion has been. And it was like 73 percent of breaks it feels in Stockport you get that the new doesn't want tenure for school and school and school is calling as a definite please we read we. Hear you saying but you know what I want to speak to George Monbiot was that on this and he comes from the same place as you some sure you. Miami moving on the 2 to 95 for your views and what you're using this morning or week to week 59295 w. From George in Scotland to George in London this morning George Monbiot journalist an environmental campaigner Good morning good morning thank you for your time this morning George you were arrested yesterday in London weren't you day before yesterday what happened well I went and sat down in the road in Whitehall. And quite a few people joined me and we all got the result warmed by the place and then when we remained sitting there we got picked up and put in the paddy wagons and taken to the police station what was the point of the well it's the same as a point of holy extension of a sense of rebellion arrests which is. To draw attention to the greatest predicament humankind has ever faced which is the destruction of our life support systems several people arrested accounting to an tube station following those violent scenes yes the date did they do the right thing with the protest would you support what they did I actually think that was the wrong target I think electric mass transport is a part of the solution not part of the problem that's what people struggle to understand with this George when people are doing the right thing getting all. Cars and buses and trying to use public transport but even the is not good enough for extinction rebellion can you understand why that you you need some confuse the public you have about have said I mean these are the people who did that they didn't have the endorsement of the great majority of people in extinction rebellion and you know they're already being told that that was of what people wanted them to do. So I don't think you can really say you know this is something which reflects on that whole movement Well they don't they're under the extinction rebellion by no they had extinction rebellion booboos with them about I mean it's not it's not like it's not like a corporation or something you know anyone as long as they. Adhered to the basic principles of what extinction rebellion is trying to do they can call themselves extinction rebellion I know that but you know as well George the any revolution has taken place and we need a revolution when it comes to climate change that we need to address that change in the way that we all behave or any revolution only takes place when the mass of the people turn and are brought along with it and you know going to see that with Seems like we saw yesterday in London Underground as I said that was in my state so what's the way forward for extinction rebellion after this the organization has said in a statement this morning in the light of the vents extinction rebellion would be looking at ways to bring people together to avoid unnecessary division they've called off the protests this morning at Gatwick airport that was due to take place so this is clearly kind of shaken things up for the organization I think a lot of people are really upset by it and you know a lot of people like me see it as a big strategic mistake was on the right target. That it's saying. The the man who was beaten up did not deserve to be beaten up and you know and what I'm hearing is a lot of people sort of seem to be endorsing the violence that was meted out to him and that that is also wrong of course it is well no one deserves to be beaten up but you did try and kick someone in the head he was trying to get him off the train so there's 2 sides to every Studi again in this what would you advice be to extinction about your very high profile environmental campaign at this pivotal moment for them George would you to speak well the great majority of what it has done has been incredibly successful so I'd say just carry on doing the successful stuff forced the successful stuff well as. A result of extinction of alien and the time it strikes with have the Westminster Parliament glaring climate emergency we have the Scottish government declaring a climate emergency we've had legislators all over the world doing the same thing there's been a massive focus now on this huge existential issue which has been ignored for so long and as one commentator said the other day whatever you do you just keep doing it because finally we're seeing the sort of attention focus on these issues which is required of course it's not enough just to declasse climate emergencies governments also need to act on that and that's what still failing to do so we need to keep the pressure on George to do use the language of the moment the. Red lines extinction rebellion that they do not cross which is public transport you know which is access to routes leading towards through the should be things where the just because it's all up for grabs apparently at the moment. I mean there are actually a set of principles about how to organize actions which are supposed to be endorsed by anyone who calls themselves as tension rebellion and I don't think those principles were it had to. On the Canning Town station. And so there's a lot of soul searching going on there's a lot of anguish discussions and a real determination to make sure that nothing like that happens again when do you expect to you from the police again Georgia arrest yesterday. So I was released under investigation which basically they were trying to get us out of the station as quickly as possible because so many people got arrested and have been arrested over the past 2 weeks that. Struggling to process the full so I don't know when I'm going to get a letter saying you know if his his the charges haven't even been charged at this stage I was arrested. 2 provisions one was obstructing the highway obviously and the other one was Section 14 of the Public Order Act 186 which is it's really draconian piece of legislation with a place can just stay right over protest the band and that's what they did on Monday night they banned all protests across London by extinction rebellion and some of us is seeking judicial review of that decision in the High Court at the moment but pending that and many others were arrested under that section 14 and what we feel. That that's a direct infringement of the democratic right to peaceful assembly would you do it again. Yes if if if if I felt called on to do it again I would I think it is a really effective means of showing that you mean what you say you know it's very easy for people like me to sit behind a keyboard and say someone will do something but when you show that you are actually prepared to put your body on the line and and jeopardize jeopardize your liberty for the short period over a longer period. Then people do take it a lot mostly just George Monbiot journalist environmental campaigner Thanks. Time this morning what do you think looking at the tactics of extinction rebellion are they justified Are they justified to bring about change each $2.00 to $95.00 to text or to eat $59295.00 double or to give us a call to speak to Alan and they brought in Jenny and for William after this we had a fiery 6 years and the frantic school pupils from across Scotland are taking over the microphones each week peoples money thing to never more about the history of the communities in which we live in the next program power junior historians explore local links to a controversial trade lease was the big wheel in court for Scotland How long was an average whaling trip 5 and a half months 6 months was a light going to get to come this one was peaceful place and if whaling was still a thing would you go back and look at the crude prices junior historians choose the from $130.00 on b.b.c.

On the phone in this morning extinction rebellion is facing a backlash after a violent scenes erupted during a protest on the London Underground yesterday protesters were dragged off the top of a train by angry commuters following attempts to disrupt the chub during morning rush hour extinction rebellion say the scenes were regrets about so this morning we're asking Are there protests the right way to bring about change. 2295 text does Charlene says disrupting public transport is ridiculous I'm not surprised those commuters lost yesterday Gordon numpties have done more damage than good for their cause it will be showing themselves up causing and leaving a carbon footprint by the sponsible actions that they organize a mass clean up over the edge in something more constructive I could potentially be impressed each to 295 for what you think on the text or gives a Coke it's way to eat 592952 blue Allan is in Edinburgh this morning morning Allan good morning morning what do you think. But I'll just say never going to be completely wrong really I mean the destructed and good to honest hard working people up and down the country especially in London not what I'm wondering and it's a nightmare to go by the best Italians in for these people take this from public transport is absolutely ridiculous they just say that your father being terrorists are going to show off the train and not getting on the plane a couple of days ago inside the airport but the point really is nobody's really taken them on board because that they haven't pulled people out there before the Green Party you know these green issues everybody just wants to go on with our work at least even when I'm not civilised industrialized country now you can go back to even your level for treason under some nonsense but George is gone from skull and island but I'm guessing if you were still here for you would be saying is we're talking about the small stuff we need to look at the big picture which is potential extinction of the human race if we contin
