¨Totally unacceptable¨, says Boris about Extinction Rebellion

Boris Johnson condemned the blockade of newspaper printing plants by climate change protesters as "completely unacceptable". The Prime Minister criticised Extinction Rebellion (XR) after dozens of protesters disrupted night deliveries from The Sun , the Daily Telegraph , the Daily Mail and the Times.

The activists chained themselves to bamboo structures and used vans and a boat to block the roads at the Newsprinters printing works in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire and Knowsley near Liverpool.

Police arrested a total of 80 people including 30 people in Merseyside and 50 in Hertfordshire where access was only fully restored on Saturday night.
