Hundreds of Extinction Rebellion activists including its radical founder Roger Hallam and his girlfriend partied at an all-night rave on Easter Sunday to celebrate bringing travel chaos to millions of commuters. MailOnline has more.
In a post on Telegram giving details of the gig at Egg nightclub in King’s Cross, North London seen by the Sun, organisers crowed: “After a week of sitting down, it’s time to shake those legs. We are inviting all rebels to an after-party full of energetic bands and DJs.”
The eco-fanatics downed £6.50 cans of beer and took skateboards, drums and flags to the party – but removed pin badges for safety reasons – with some seen staggering out of the club early yesterday.
Hallam, the mastermind of XR and its splinter group Insulate Britain who has called for those “responsible” for climate change to face Nuremberg-style trials, and XR activist Larch Maxey, were both pictured entering the security-tight nightclub.
Other photos from the party published by The Sun show banners which yelled “We are watching you” and “War is ecocide, planet repairs now”.
A source told the newspaper: “It was a full-on rave. Everyone was drunk and some of them looked high. They were dancing all night. When Roger came in it was a bit like he was a celeb. Everyone wanted a selfie with him.”
Last week the rabble-rousing eco-idiots blocked ten oil facilities and took over four of London’s bridges as they launched a series of ‘disruptions’ on more than two weeks of protests.

I wonder how they all got home after the night out?
Got a free ride home by the Rozzers
No, the Rozzers are too busy standing around and gawping at everyone to give anyone a lift!
Be fair, they do often find time to beat up or trample on old ladies!
She was asking for it, a clear right wing extremist Nazi if ever there was one.
Each given a nights stay at St Pancreas. Pretty normal for these civil servant types.
Probably by driving alone in the Tesla that daddy leased for them. The one that weighs a ton and needs to be driven a hundred thousand miles on a single battery to be CO² competitive with combustion engine cars (yes, I know CO² is irrelevant). But it’s OK because at the end of the three year lease, daddy will get a brand new one and the old battery can head off to the toxic battery dump in the third world.
Beautifully articulated.
Just out of interest, does the fact that battery cars have less moving parts that need to be replaced count for anything?
Who paid for the call night bash ? Follow the money?
Call = all

Russia. It’s an established fact.
It’s a disestablished empire (though less so than it used to be).
To be fair, they do like to pay for things which make the “West” look bad (such as I Like Salmon).
The bank of mum and dad. Most of them are trust-fund hippies.
All those cans of beer, all that co2?
Somebody needs to organise a massive vigilante and give this lot a damn good hiding
Correct
On the contrary. They should be encouraged and given as much rope as possible to continue hanging themselves.
I believe this will do more to create skepticism about climate change than all the charts and rational arguments we could possibly conjure up.
You could be right, but slashing their faces would be more rewarding
It’s the only language they understand.
I loathe XR and everything they stand for, and their connection to those in power is plain for all to see, but let’s not allow the focus to get pulled from those who pretend to represent us and are actually responsible for continuing to force through rules/laws which drive for the execution of the horrors of Net Zero (and all the other agendas of the last two years).
XR and the establishment are as different as the Nazis and the SA.
By SA I presume you mean Sturmabteilung (or Braunhemden, Brownshirts)?
XR couldn’t mount a military operation to save their avocado toast… They’d probably get blisters after half a mile’s tabbing.
The SA was not military. In fact, Hitler specifically rejected that. It’s purpose was to provide security during party public party events, specifically in face of the very real threat (at that time) of mobs organized by the communist unions trying to break up such events by violence. It’s members were originally all ex-soldiers, obviously, but in the aftermath of world war one in Germany, pretty much every man of military age (roughly, 18 – 50) was.
As to tabbing: Forcing XR members to wear proper army boots would probably already pretty much ground them[*].
[*] A practice I started in Winter 2019 when I grew tired of replacing trainers with broken soles twice a year. It took me about 1.5 years of practicing before I could properly walk with them, starting with simple stuff like How to place your foot on the ground without hammering blood blisters into your feet after a few kilometers. Also gave me hairline factures in my feet a couple of times when I ended up misplacing my foot in a particularly awkward way.
Real tough guys go barefoot. (Including in winter, yes.)
If you had ever done that, you’d know that the bad time for walking bare-footed is summer and not winter, at least in cities. All these tar and concrete surface get hot enough to cause one to have burn blisters on the soles for a couple of weeks until the feet get used to it, as they eventually will. I did this for a couple of years in the 1990s.
But that’s not really comparable: When walking bare-footed, there’s no additional weight the feet have to carry and also, no chance of creatively injuring oneself via leverage combined with something with enough physical stiffness that the limb will give way first.
BTW: Another highly amusing past time is Dig small glass splinters out of one’s soles with a knife.
That probably sounds pretty taff, too, but in the end, when there’s a problem with that, it’s just a case of Just fucking do it (as there’s no alternate option).
Their lack of military prowess is utterly irrelevant, they are the private army of the establishment, hence the police doing precisely nothing against them and, in fact, actively helping them.
That’s the giveaway.
Avocado, eggs and tomatoes make a good breakfast. Fwiw.
XR are the estblishment’s useful idiots.
The politicians get to point at these crusty t wats and say ‘Look at all these protests, the people must want more net zero’ as they and their associates make fortunes out of green energy.
Find out where they live and turn their electricity off? Wheel clamps for their fossil-fuel burning vehicles.
Where did their mobiles phones come from, how did they get to the UK… by cargo ships that burn heavy oil and pump out tonnes of black, acrid smoke?
On the other hand, it could be pointed out that they are highlighting the issue of the need to conserve ‘natural resources’. Humans can’t just go on using oil and gas from the ground forever, it will run out. Would the Earth be better off without humans? If so, Extinction Rebellion supporters could all commit suicide first, to show us how it’s done.
Revolting Egg Stink
Were Boris, Carrie , Zac and Ben in attendance I wonder, as it seems they are not interested in making the country economically work, when these useful idiots continue to rot the country from the inside out, such that Johnson and his cabal of the rich elite can run it for their own pleasure.
If Johnson cared about the country he would have sent in the riot police, the water cannon and cleared them out, after all he did it to the Lockdown protesters who were on the side of getting the country back on its feet,
Judge him by what he does and doesnt do rather than what he spews forth from his mouth
Carrieservatism?
What actually remains of the old, pre-cycling BJ?
Yay let’s beat people up for having a post work party. No news here surely
Roger Hallam Phd, Kings College.
Have a read of ” There is no climate crisis” by David Craig.
This is decidedly not political protests. It’s terrorism — acts of violence supposed to harm the general population pretty much randomly in the hope of blackmailing the government into something.
“It’s terrorism — acts of violence supposed to harm the general population pretty much randomly in the hope of blackmailing the government into something”
Replace government with public, and we now have a reasonable explanation of what has transpired over the last two years….
It’s those domestic terrorists they keep warning us about, I call them the government.
Oh dear, I seem to have upset some pro government types or faux greenpeace types.
Nevermind, can’t please everyone
The truth hurts sometimes.
Don’t you think the word “terrorism” gets a little over used?
These days it seems to apply to any disruptive act that one doesn’t like.
I somewhat agree, but more along the context of are they terrorists or freedom fighters?
Well that all depends on who you ask, or what the situation is that has caused the upheaval in the first place.
I personally wouldn’t classify these protesters as either, it most certainly has the whiff of “useful idiots” about it.
Pawns in the government greenwashing agenda, hence the reason they aren’t getting stomped by the plod. Unlike certain other “unpopular” protests, against the establishment.
It reminds me of that blackadder goes fourth episode, where the German spies are described as using dirty underhanded tactics, and the British spies are brave upstanding fellows.
Disruptive act some NGO performs with the intent to harm the general population indiscriminately, ie, not in order to target specific groups or people, but just people who happen to be in a particular location, is a definition terrorism. There’s no qualitative difference between blockading a bridge and blowing it up. Both render the bridge impassable for a certain time at a certain cost to the general public. The cost caused by an individual blockade will be lower than the cost associated with a destroyed bridge. But cumulative cost of an open-ended number of blockades will eventually become higher.
By that definition wouldn’t strikes be terrorism?
To me terrorism implies politically motivated, systematic acts of violence so intimidating as to make people fear for their lives.
These people may be very disruptive and annoying but unless I’m missing something they’re not scaring the crap out of anyone.
In general, isn’t it better to avoid hyperbolic language? If one of these groups actually start systematically murdering people, where do you go with language if the current lot are already terrorists?
They’re tiresome hypocritical brain-dead wankers being used by malign forces.
By that definition wouldn’t strikes be terrorism?
Do you believe that upper-middle class twats glueing themselves to a bridge in their spare time in order to cause a traffic disruption can be called striking? If so, I’d really like to know why. I certainly don’t, hence, I see no reason to bring this up here. Due to the nature of human language, informal definitions will always be imperfect and ambiguos.
I think it’s justified to describe the XR actions as terrorism and not protest because they’re not about expressing a political opinion in the streets but about forcing political change (ideally) by causing harm to random members of the general population who are individually politically powerless and not responsible for the so-called problem. How scary that is would very much depend on how urgently one needs to cross such a brigde. Eg, have you thought about the possibilty that you, after having a heart attack, could be stuck in an ambulance which can’t pass and that you could die because of this? That’s something the XR’lers consider acceptable, collateral damage.
This is a bit like the COVID It’s just a little mask! which is anything but little for people who are really badly affected by it and hugely instrusive for anyone else. I’m not being hyperbolic, I’m calling a spade who insists that he’s a butterfly a spade.
Forcing people to wear masks is no small thing. It is a hideous act of totalitarian government.
It is precisely for that reason that we need to measure our words. Because if we don’t, when something truly awful is done – like the forced masking of children in schools – we’ve used up our language to describe it.
The XR people, so far, are not terrorists. They are disruptive protestors. If they start putting bombs or start killing people, then you can upgrade them to terrorists.

It all boils down to what the effect and what the side-effect is. A march is about protesting, ie, people publically expressing their opinions. It’s technically also disruptive, but that’s a side effect of many people marching.
XR actions are all about causing harm to the general population with out-of-the-blue actions nobdoy can escape or plan around. Their opinions come on after-the-fact leaflets.
That’s an qualitative difference in my opinion.
A bit like ‘unprecedented’.
The Queen gets around £220 million a year for renting her seabed out to those setting up wind farms (and you thought that Queenie and her dysfunctional offspring where keen on the environment because they care so much about nature!)
People like David Cameron’s father-in-law get £600 000 a year for having a wind farm on his estate. Thousands of people at the top of the economic tree have access to this new found way of finacially raping the working classes and they love it, wrapped as it is in eco virtue.
You will be cold and many will die especially the silver tops (but think of the savings in pensions and health care), they get richer, so it is our future.
Remember vote Tory/Labour (same difference) at the next election.
Vote Tory, get Net Zero.
Net zero cash the way things are going.
Vote Tory, Get Corbyn
We did that already.
Flogging; a week in the stocks being pelted with offal by those whose lives they made miserable.
Next.
The government plans to stop ALL protests should sort this out
Nah. XR and BLM will remain untouchable.
Yup the discretion will be down to the woke Police.
Klaus Schwab’s limp wristed little poundshop Brownshirts.
As they seem to like gluing themselves to cars can’t we put an old Range Rover in a field an glue a few of them to that where they won’t cause any trouble
Maybe go back a few weeks later and see if they’ve eaten each other. At least if they did it would be carbon neutral.
But think of the methane emissions.
“Hallam, the mastermind of XR and its splinter group Insulate Britain who has called for those “responsible” for climate change to face Nuremberg-style trials”
Will they really be taking their mummies and daddies to Nuremberg-style trials? It’s often the case that they are those driving the latest ‘Chelsea tractor’ BMWs and huge Mercedes cars.
What do these ‘Extinction Rebellion’ types do when they’re not partying and demonstrating? Are they working or claiming benefits? Where does their income come from? Following the money usually leads to The Ugly Truth.
Name these people, and let’s hear what they really do and who they really are.
“Extinction Rebellion’s founder confessed to the unthinkable last week – that she owns a diesel car. Her reasoning? Cost. Fair enough. Or at least it would be fair enough, if the group didn’t turn up their noses at others in the same boat. Other activists have also admitted to indulging in regular trips abroad, of course opting to travel by plane.”
Roger Hallam – The organic farmer who was such a crap farmer his farm went bust.
The cretin then blamed everything else except himself, including a collusion by the climate to ruin his income.
You need only listen to the guy for a few minutes to understand he’s as nutty as a fruit cake.
Atmo. CO2 in 1850 ~280ppm.
Atmo. CO2 in 2022 ~410ppm.
410ppm minus 280ppm = 130ppm divided by 171 years = 0.76ppm per year, of which man is responsible for ~3% = ~0.02ppm.
Assuming mankind’s CO2 emissions affect temperatures it would therefore take 25,000 years to raise the temperature of the planet by 2ºC.
maths us racissss (do I really need the /s?)
‘Atmo. CO2 in 1850 ~280ppm.’
i really don’t want to come across as ignorant… but. Was there an accurate way to measure CO2 in the atmosphere back in 1850?
I’ll stick my neck out and claim that these measurements weren’t taken in 1850.
Most likely modern carbon measurements taken from core samples that date from that era.
Just a thought.
If it was anything like the Climate Emergency™️ Fairs in my town, it must have been the worst rave ever.
Put the lot of them on a plane to China so they can protest there. Absolute idiots
See how the enemy operates? They set up and fund fake protest groups like Extinction Rebellion and it’s sub groups to agitate and and push public opinion in a certain direction and it HIJACKS key arguments from legitimate rebellion in order to discredit and cancel it.
The zog has realised (likely through monitoring from the 77th Brigade) that the Nuremberg code is dangerous to its Great Reset goal, so it must delegitimise it.
What better way to turn public opinion against any such a trial than to conflate it with a bunch of self-riteous upper-middle-class c*nts who’s only aim in life is to p!ss off the general public?
How many here knew that the identity of being ‘Woke’ originated in the anti-globalisation movement? Yes, TPTB hijacked that too.
It is time we were told who is funding these rich middle class Wokists.
Who tells the Police to use a smiling “Light Touch”?
Govt, oc. These protests accord with net zero for carbon and is why they merit a light touch. Brutal responses reserved for those protests challenging the facist bio security State.
Should have turned the fire hoses on them. We have had enough of their lies and propaganda.
