Extinction rebellion; what would you do?

Spartacus · Apr 19, 2021

I've been made aware that Extinction Rebellion are organising a "mass trespass" on Saturday from 12-2pm on one of my fields (it is advertised on Facebook with a picture of my field gate and the nearby car park for reference).

What would everyone do? I've spoken to the police on 101 for advice, they've suggested going down with family and asking them not to go on, I'm in two minds myself though, it's where we usually put the sucklers out and by then they might be out with the dry weather we are having, or to go down and join them, just to make sure they don't leave a big mess behind..... as above, what would you do???

Get the muck spreader or tanker out.....

Spread the smelliest muck or slurry you can get hold of on that field on Saturday morning before 12

jokes aside, go along in disguise, don’t mention who you are and as soon as there is a tiny bit of litter etc make a thing to the organiser saying your disgusted and ashamed to ‘be part’ of ER if that’s their attitude to the countryside.

I'd be sure to take some photos or video of the field and gates beforehand. You might later want before and after shots to illustrate and prove the damage that potentially will be caused.

Contact XR Farmers and see if they can get it stopped.

Sounds like an ideal place for plenty of newly calved suckler cows

is vegan ice cream a thing ?

Absolutely don't do anything that's going to land you in trouble. Deliberately putting protective, newly calved cows into the field when you know they're coming would almost certainly be seen as a premeditated plan to injure them and I'm sure they'd love nothing more than to land the big nasty farmer in court. Loads of witnesses and loads of before and after pictures and videos would be my recommendation. There's certainly potential to play them at their own game here and plaster it all over facebook if they leave a mess.

I would go to the field, pick out who the organiser is, follow them back to their house when it’s all finished walk straight in through the door behind him/her and take a big sh!t on his sofa and say you will be back tomorrow to exercise your rights again.

Sauce for the goose.

Here is what they plan on doing nationwide,a basic pack they email anyone interested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...YiJuL6o_vGdkqpz4ZXUTMzX3Bk_rSSd4jNu1GePNb/pub

What's the biggest mains fencer you can get? Put up a two strand electric fence with no hand piece right up to the hedge. Sign on the gate with a warning of electric fence. If they can't get in how can they trespass?

Shouldn't worry yourself , they made dicks of themselves in London last year .

If they truly live up to their name they should not cause any damage or litter. Maybe leave a bit of machinery in the vatewab to discourage cars. It also depends who the hangers-on are who have an agenda to target rich landowners who rape the soil and pollute the atmosphere.
I presume you aren't one?

Interested if they have any mass trespass up here where there is of course responsible access to land which rather takes the shine off a protest

bobk · Apr 19, 2021

S'pose they'll tread some dog sh!t in .
