Climate protesters, UK

*Hundreds of thousands of young climate activists have said they will continue “protesting in the streets in huge numbers” against fossil fuels.* *The UK government plans to give police even more power to lock us up. But it won’t stop us: this is about humanity’s future.*

The UK government is criminalizing, one by one, all methods of protest that might effectively draw attention to a cause. But the young people who know that global heating is likely to kill them before they get old realize that surrendering to the authoritarian state is not a sane option.
