FULL TITLE: Climate change protesters bring London to halt, demonstrator glues himself to subway train, 300 arrested in 2 days
London was brought to a standstill Wednesday morning after militant climate change protesters cause havoc for a third day in a row, climbing and gluing themselves on subway trains, causing road closures and other disruption, leading to an arrest of nearly 300 people in the past 48 hours.
The protesters calling themselves Extinction Rebellion, which were also responsible for a naked protest in the British Parliament earlier this month, are demanding the government to legally commit to reducing net carbon emissions to zero in the next six years and are willing to go to jail for the cause.
Londoners morning commute was particularly disrupted after the protesters climbed on top of a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) train in East London, prompting shutdown or severe delays on numerous underground lines.
The group has been clashing with police officers and blocking traffic in Central London, including near Parliament, since Monday, resulting in at least 290 arrests, the BBC reported.
The scale of the arrests forced the police to reveal that contingency plans are in place should custody suites become full.
In addition to furious Londoners, the methods of the protest were criticized by left-wing London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said that while he believes climate change must be tackled, he was extremely concerned about the disruptions.

We need a picture of the idiot glued to the train.
They should leave him there for about a week.
Then charge him a week’s worth of tolls.

Looks like a sticky situation.
It would be ironic if they caught on fire.
Pardon me, Boys

Sounds like Soros is stepping things up a bit.
Cop on the ground to the other one...”Go and fetch my chainsaw out of the car please...”

This is London. Cops are only allowed plastic Sporks, with the tines filed down.
I once was reading a fantastic book all about glue!
I couldn't put it down.
Jack Bauer. Got a hacksaw?
So Ive worked in the adhesive industry for 30 years. Pretty much the only thing that will glue skin to a train is Cyanoacrylate. Yea, Super Glue.
Its water soluble so this should have been a 15 minute delay.
