Over in Trafalgar Square, the climate activists are having what they’ve dubbed “Extinct By Lunch”—a protest picnic where the food is all foraged from bins outside local supermarkets.
Anti-racism protesters gather in London to show 'unity'
They’ll be lying on the ground in formation, spelling out the words “Heatwave, But Make It Fashion” using only biodegradable glitter and expired hummus. It’s messy, it’s smelly, and it’s very on brand.
One organizer told me the goal is to get 500 people to sit in a circle and refuse to move until a politician admits that “Yes, it is getting a bit warm.” As of Thursday, they have 23 RSVPs and a pigeon that keeps eating the hummus.
