Greta Thunberg has stated that rules must be broken if they stand in the way of climate action.

Greta Thunberg condemns ‘unlawful’ police ban on Extinction Rebellion climate change protest ‘If standing up for humanity is against the rules then the rules must be broken,’ says teenager

Greta Thunberg has called on Extinction Rebellion demonstrators to defy a police order banning them from protesting across London. The climate change activist spoke out before the group won the go-ahead to take legal action over the order, which has been condemned by human rights groups as unlawful.

“If standing up against the climate and ecological breakdown and for humanity is against the rules then the rules must be broken,” Ms Thunberg wrote on her Instagram account.

A judicial review of the ban, which the group’s lawyers say is “disproportionate and unlawful” will be held on Thursday afternoon.

Human rights groups including Amnesty International and Liberty have also criticised the Metropolitan Police over the “heavy-handed” and “chilling” tactic.

Deputy assistant commissioner Laurence Taylor said the ban had been imposed following “continued breaches” of a previous order, which restricted protesters to Trafalgar Square.

The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, distanced himself from the police order and said he had asked senior officers to “find a way for those who want to protest the climate emergency we face to be able to do so legally”.

The actual winner actually killed people which is an actual requirement to win the actually coveted award. Since she has yet to actually kill or murder anyone, she was actually disqualified.

The rule of law is slowly but surely being undermined. In its place, the rule of man will undoubtedly replace it and the rule of man is simply defined as who have more power to back up their demands (i.e. Who has more guns).

St. Greta doesn’t make any decisions. Her behind the scenes handlers tell her what to say and when to say it. Then they collect the “donations” to the cause.
