Prime example of our impartial unbalanced news media.

Really? Most of the MSM, including the BBC, ITV, and C4 seem to be calling them protests, and the people taking part, protestors.

Boris Johnson's father has told Extinction Rebellion protesters that their work is "extremely important" - less than two days after his son labelled them "uncooperative crusties".
Stanley Johnson said the PM's remarks had been "made in humour".
Meanwhile, an extra 500 officers from across England and Wales will be sent to London to help police the climate change protests.

Extinction Rebellion protesters and police break bread at climate camp-outs
The bands of protesters warn of humanity’s impending extinction but, as night fell, it was easy to imagine that their fears had already been realised.

Mothers and babies were the focus of Wednesday’s activities as the Extinction Rebellion protests continued in central London.
Climate campaigners are engaged in two weeks of activity intended to focus attention on climate change and what they say is the unwillingness of politicians to address it.
Protesters have already shut down bridges and glued themselves to Government buildings but Wednesday has a special focus on future generations.

Police have arrested 800 protesters in the last two days, with two more weeks of disruption on the way...
... Overstretched police in London admit they are spending less time with victims of real crime as it takes hours to arrest hundreds of attention-seeking eco protestors holding raves, breastfeeding in the street and waving around giant octopuses.
The Government today took the extraordinary step of calling in 500 officers from 43 other police forces in England and Wales as they try to round up the Extinction Rebellion mob bringing chaos to the centre of the capital.

Extinction Rebellion protest could force the Queen to abandon carriage trip to open Parliament, police have suggested.
Officers have told those leading the demonstration that state opening cannot take place if they are camped on the streets as Scotland Yard admitted that they have “contingency plans”.
As demonstrations shutting down the roads around Westminster continued into a third day an additional 500 officers were brought in from forces across England and Wales.
The Metropolitan Police said that it was victims of other crimes who were paying the price of their attention being diverted by climate change protests...
... However, it emerged that officers have been told protestors that their security operations should have already begun and the event cannot take place if demonstrators remain where they are.
