Steamport Southport Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 It's the new Tarquin-Nutter type. Nothing to do with train surfing. It's one of those Extinction Rebellion ****s. Blame the courts that keep letting them off..... 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Neil Posted February 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2022 Ah, Extinction Rebellion. I'm in agreement with the cause but they are spectacularly, tactically inept. We should be concerned about the sort of world we hand on to our children and grandchildren but unless you're going to walk to Dover and swim the channel then Eurostar would seem to be the greenest option to get to the continent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
