Four climate activists on hunger strike have pledged to continue going without food for a second week as they call on political leaders to act on the environmental crisis.
More than 520 people in 28 countries, from Barcelona to Stockholm, joined Extinction Rebellions global hunger strike a week ago.
Most of them - including at least 260 in the UK - signed up to go without food for seven days, but four of those in London say they intend to continue.
In the UK, protesters camped outside the headquarters of the main political parties, including 83-year-old Ursula Pethick.
**SNIP**
After five days, another hunger striker, Steven Hollies, tweeted: I am noticeably more lethargic this morning. I feel thin and hollow. And by day six he added he was even more tired.

Obviously a fake hunger strike. Shouldn’t they be extinct by now?

“I commend these climate activists for reducing their carbon footprint in this way, and trust that they will continue unstintingly until it has reached zero.
Regards!”
Bravo! May millions more of their ilk join this wonderful action and shown their ultimate sacrifices for Al Gore, Follywood, Pelosi and other elite liberals.

How is it a strike? They don’t have a job!
Notice how the media frenzy over “climate change” coincides with the democrat frenzy over getting rid of Trump?

Even better - set up a grill upwind from their little gathering and cook burgers on-site. Have brisket and a slab of ribs in a smoker cooking right along. That ought to put their dedication to their cause to the test.

I’m all for letting hunger strikers starve all the way to death. Hopefully it will catch on.
It’s like a 4 year old holding his breath til his mommy buys him candy.

At 40 days they will stink worst than they do now.

The ‘Old Brits’ of the 50s-60s-70s had absolutely no problem allowing IRA members assume room temperature due to their hunger strike activities...
Actually things do change, remember when our ‘Filibusters’ were real and folks stood their ground not leaving the podium?
Today they give them ‘terlet breaks’, relief, and other creature comforts that sort of take the sting out of it.

Likewise, could GAS less BUT my point was there was a time the Brits would have said have at it and just let them go.
Now THAT is the ‘good old days’.
