In a surprising turn of events, the British police have suddenly realised that there are other things to do besides arrest people of the Christian Right for silently praying outside of abortion clinics, or posting satirical comments online about the new protected thing, transgenderism. Left wing eco-actionist groups have been moving away from peaceful, legal protests, to protests of disruption, such as damaging artworks, and blocking important roads by sit-in protests.
However, Scotland yard thinks that these eco-fanatics will go to next level, since the fanatics may feel that the government is not listening to their demands of shutting down industrial society to “save the planet.” The new strategies will be straight from the monkey wrench gang, involving perhaps bomb attacks upon fossil fuel corporations, and at a micro-level, attacks upon SUV vehicles of ordinary people. According to the Force Management Statement of the Met: “These people believe the planet will end soon, and if they feel they are not being listened to, then they will resort to extreme measures. They are also the most panic-ridden, neurotic people. So, they could be radicalised to do crazy things.”
