Extinction Rebellion: PM labels protesters 'uncooperative crusties'
Extinction Rebellion protesters on the streets of London have been labelled"uncooperative crusties" by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The demonstrators - who are demanding action on climate change - should abandon their"hemp-smelling bivouacs" and stop blocking roads, the PM added.Mr Johnson made the comments at a book launch on Monday evening. "I am afraid that the security people didn't want me to come along tonight because they said the road was full of uncooperative crusties and protesters of all kinds littering the road," he said.Mr Johnson added protesters could learn from former PM Margaret Thatcher, who he said had taken the issue of greenhouse gases seriously long before activists such as Greta Thunberg were born.
"I hope that when we go out from this place tonight and we are waylaid by importunate nose-ringed climate change protesters, we remind them that she was also right about greenhouse gases."
