EXTRA TIME

Eco War?

It’s out of question that we have to act to curb global warming and that much more has to be done if we want to avoid that time will be running out. But as protesters jam up the M25 disrupting traffic on the motorway encircling almost all of Greater London, and councillors close locals roads, lower-income workers are asking climate activists to check their privilege. 

Ben Wright and Charlotte Gill cover this topic in The Telegraph and finally come to the somehow ironic conclusion:

“Few things are as quintessentially British as the class system and talking about the weather. It seems we have now contrived a way to combine two of our ruling passions.”
