      At the Extinction Rebellion protest at Marble Arch where someone calling himself Sustaina Claus and clutching a toy panda has led a call to save the planet. They’re now going to block Hyde Park Corner with performance art.pic.twitter.com/PkgW7JNxIe

      It’s all quite lovely and hippyish here. A few hundred gathered at Marble Arch as a guitarist plays All You Need Is Love and What a Wonderful World. Beneath the arch they’re stockpiling soup and potatoes. They plan to camp here for a few days in protest at climate changepic.twitter.com/XCv6xRaogR

      Marble Arch has been blocked by the Extinction Rebellion protest. Everything’s quite quiet and peaceful. Maybe 1,000 people here.pic.twitter.com/2EAJNHsxPS

      They’ve picked a nice day to bring Marble Arch to a standstill. Just seen a middle-aged woman holding a placard with a wonderfully English apology for their rebellion: “Sorry for the inconvenience but I really don’t know what else to do.”pic.twitter.com/Z54dUYRlmN

          One of the friendly campaigners (they’re too polite to be called protesters) says they’re going to blockade Marble Arch and four other sites in London until the government acts to save the planet, then adds “But I have to go back to work tomorrow.”

          One placard: “We speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.” True, though they do bark. Speaking of barking, just seen a poodle wearing a coat on which is written “Save the rhino.”

          We'll have to and any other source of energy because cheap oil is on its way out.

          Cutesy placards are almost as bad as cutesy product labels.

          Yes MW, definitely time to be snide about nothing. An issue like climate change, its so inconsequential, it doesnt deserve much else I suppose. Sure it'd be much better if the protesters behaved like the @LeaveEUOfficial marchers, they really showed how to get the public onside.

          She was on my morning train (from Oxford). I wasn't entirely sure what she would be protesting but admired the sentiment...
