You are obsessed with colour of peoples skinThank God it was just a whitey that was pulled off the train and given a slap otherwise you and you crew would be labelling all us eastenders as racists.

Good news of course.

Well said.
...and I'm letting you know (again) that the these actions were organized by the people who carried them out.
XR actions, particularly actions which carry potentially long prison sentences are organized and carried out by small groups of people (known as affinity groups).
In this case, there was some consultation with the wider XR community about taking action on the underground, through a poll .The poll result was greatly opposed to this kind of action going ahead. I also understand that there were a number of conversations with members of those affinity groups, in which other people advised them not to go ahead.
One of the strengths (and weaknesses perhaps) of XR is that there isn't a central committee or figure giving orders - affinity groups are free to act independently as long as they follow the agreed XR guidelines (non-violence etc)
These 2 particular small groups decided to organize and carry out the action themselves, even though they'd been advised not to by a whole bunch of other XR folk, and then to add to the problems, one of them panicked and kicked out at a commuter trying to drag him off a train - not good for commuters, not good for XR, or the planet.
Hope that helps clarify.

Back to the drawing board for XR...Never going to win public support disrupting mass transit
Yeah I think that is true.
The first XR thing in London got lots of support.
but this time, it just seemed like old news repeating itself.
the tube thing at Cannon street -not a good look.
