Trigger warning – Lots of naked this week in the name of Gaea…
Protesters disrupt Brexit debate by baring bottoms over inaction on climate change
Posted about 6 hours ago
While some view the British parliament as a symbol of political stasis since the 2016 Brexit referendum, other Brits have utilised Westminster’s symbolic power to press — literally and figuratively — for faster action on climate change.
On Monday, members of climate change action group Extinction Rebellion stripped half-naked in the House of Common’s glass-walled public gallery during a Brexit debate, and some appeared to have glued themselves to the glass.
…
Nuala Lam, an Extinction Rebellion member who was present during the protest but didn’t directly participate, told British radio station talkRADIO that MPs stifled laughter as police cleared out the public gallery.

The following is a tweet showing a picture of the protestors;
I’m not sure whether the fact the protest occurred during a Brexit debate is significant, figuring out how to cancel Brexit without being named as the responsible party is pretty much the only topic of debate these days in the British Parliament.
The UK Parliament naked climate protest pretty much overshadowed another naked climate event in Australia, naked people swimming with the dolphins or something. As far as I can tell from the pics the Aussie dolphins declined their invitation to join the naked climate protestors.

Activate all of the distraction groups. Brexit scares the ever lov-in out of P.M. May.
She is at her wits end and does not give a damn about the sovereign British people.
The elite are so terrified that each new day they spend more and more of their distract-and-distress-the people ammunition. Keep watching and dig deep into where the money goes, who controls it and how it gets laundered through these activist groups.
Stay calm and apply your logic and research skills to discover the Wizards behind the curtains.
Most people who strip naked in public pretty much do it for the sole purpose of being naked in public.
Certainly not for credibility.
To be honest, I think it is the sole reason. Everything else is just excuse.
I think we’re going to need live cam images for UK viewers of clear cutting in the U.S. forests for UK wood pellet burning, live cams in the Congo at makeshift mining for strategic metals in the renewable energy and smart phone sectors, and undercover live cams in China at coal plant startups.
I’m not really a “naked-in-public” kind of guy. Can someone explain to me the logic of this protest?
They want attention, and doing something stupid is one way to get it.
They sould be em-bare-assed
Blimey, it’s a bunch of bums showing off their bums.
It’s not as if any of them are actually naked. Knickers on is not naked.
A very intellectual approach indeed. Will AOC get inspired ? Stay tuned for more…
Please not. I’d even offer her a campaign donation to keep her clothes on.
Well, at least now we know that the moon is full.
As with all pro-CAGWers, they need to disrobe so that they can talk our of their a$$e$
Like I mentioned elsewhere today, if you need boobies to attract attention to your story then your story must be pretty boring.
The rule works for everything visual – movies, television, print, climate change. If your story was interesting you wouldn’t need the tits to get people to watch it.
Like Lord Gummer they have skin in the game
well finally we get to the bottom of Brexit issues…
Just goes to show how bad climate models really are!
Hot under the collar
Well said
As an American, I’m just following Brexit with the barest of interest. Although I did click on this story expecting Femen quality protests, alas.
One, question for those folk already up over there this AM – if the UK exits, shouldn’t Ireland bail as well?
No. Ireland is a independent republic. Northern Ireland is a whole other issue however, since Adamas and Paisley aren’t involved anymore a “hard border” won’t be needed.
Well, that’s great — at least someone reads history and learns from it. The 1960’s scene in the US (particularly in and around San Francisco/Santa Cruz) involved a lot of protest — and to be sure to catch the cameras and the public’s eye, a lot of nakedness.
At the same time, down in Santa Barbara, California, where it is warmer than up in the City, female UCSB students were known to attend classes in bikinis and flip-flops and in mass sit-in on the grassy Quad, even less. It was never clear whether the lack of clothing was politically motivated — some just loved the feel of the California sun on their skin. (I will admit, I loved the feel of the California sun on their skin too….)
But if you wanted to Los Angeles papers to send reporters to cover your protest — you advertised that “naked hippies” would be in attendance.
That California sun at least added some sense to the nakedness (oh, that nice even tan….) — I can’t see stripping off in Parliament (where the sun has never shown itself).
Well all that needs to be said is what a lot of @rse holes but do they really want to prove it to the world?
They should do that in China.
Not the first to give up their clothes:
“his father kept him at home and then brought him before the civil authorities. When Francis refused to answer the summons, his father called him before the bishop of Assisi. Before any accusations were made, Francis “without a word peeled off his garments even removing his breeches and restored them to his father.” Completely naked, he said: “Until now I have called you my father on earth. But henceforth I can truly say: Our Father who art in heaven.” The astonished bishop gave him a cloak, and Francis went off to the woods of Mount Subasio above the city.”
