Furious Londoners turned on Extinction Rebellion today with crowds of commuters dragging protesters down from the roofs of Tube carriages to rough them up on the station platform, while online the group was slammed for comparing its actions to those of civil rights legend Rosa Parks.

As their eco-protest enters its 11th day XR activists launched a co-ordinated strike on three London Underground stations, clambering on top of carriages and glueing themselves to doors despite Monday's city-wide ban issued by the Met Police.

But their efforts to disrupt public transport were met with a furious backlash from commuters, industry groups and politicians leading one XR spokesman to admit the move had been a 'huge own goal'.

A hastily-deleted tweet comparing themselves to icon of the nonviolent black civil rights movement, Rosa Parks, was also met with opprobrium from social media users.

So mass transit is also verboten? One is only allowed to walk or be carried in a litter to get around? I am glad to see some people in the UK still have the cajones to give these losers the treatment they deserve.

Hopefully they dragged the ones that were glued.

Maybe UK isn’t a lost cause, after all...................

[Bonemaker]

Back when England was still England the commuters would have torn them limb by limb.

What the flip is “Extinction Rebellion”?

Hopefully they dragged the ones that were glued.

This would take care of the ones that glued themselves to the train doors.

just keep the trains running. The issue will clear itself up in a few days.

Stealing peoples time deserves to be punished, harshly.

[chris37]

That is a beautiful katana.

Personally, I would not want to take the chance of marring my blade on the metal of the subway. That would be a shame.

What I might do instead is simply drive the train rapidly forward into the narrow tunnel.

[Red Badger]

If they superglued themselves to the train, then I'm pretty sure there were some "torn limbs"....................😆

[C19fan]

Extinction Rebellion = protesters demanding immediate action on “Climate Change”.

[Red Badger]

Climate Change idiots............😝😏

[Red Badger]

'I saw two men standing on the train. They pulled out a banner. They said something along the lines of 'We're all going to die'............... Well, they were nearly correct!..............😝

[Jonty30]

If you pull them off thectrain, you’ll have to pull them off repeatedly. However, if throw them under the train, you only have to do that once.

[Red Badger]

A bit messy, though..........

[Red Badger]

One throws a cup of coffee over the protester and a group then give another comuter a boost so he can reach the protester's ankle and drag him off the carriage to the platform. Once he hits the ground, the video shows, an angry group of commuters surround him and some were caught on camera seemingly kicking and attacking the man, before a London Underground employee steps in.

Here catch this Hippy ,LOL

[Jakarta ex-pat]

It is time the police left policing to the public. There are far more good guys than bad.

[Spruce]

Nothing a strong hose and a shovel can’t handle. Besides, it will only take one or two “messes” before the dinks realize it’s not a good protest method.

[digger48]

He got the soy kicked out of him

I’d have like to kick pony tail guy simply because of those Skinny Jeans
