What the media probably won't tell you about this morning's #extinctionrebellion tube action is that yesterday there was a lot of polling/debate across internal XR comms about it and most were heavily against it. But it's a decentralised movement... 1/?
... And whilst there are so many strengths in decentralised self organising systems (and it is incredibly refreshing and exciting being part of one), this is the risk, that there will be disagreement about what is acceptable within the principles and mandates and... 2/?
... A sub group can take an action that potentially harms the group. Usually we try to reach consensus, so I'm disappointed these affinity groups went ahead knowing they didn't have majority XR support. And this risk is greatly heightened by the fact that media have taken... 3/?

Shocking moment angry commuters drag two #ExtinctionRebellion protestors off the top of a train in Canning Town and attack them.
Police have now arrived at the station and have arrested the two protestors.
One commuter shouted “I need to get to work, I have to feed my kids,” when the protestors initially went up.

Ok, it's official folks. Roger Harrabin, @RHarrabin, the @BBC's environmental analyst, is not fit to hold his job of trust with the public broadcaster. He doesn't understand the science, the policy, the politics or his own responsible role as a communicator. Buckle up: thread 1/
1) the UK is not on track for cutting 80% of emissions by 2050. That distant goal has been treated as an excuse to do not much right now by successive govts. The current govt in particular has cut measures which could get us there - and those were insufficient to start with. 2/
2) the current science says (do you READ IPCC reports, @RHarrabin ? Here's a link ipcc.ch/report/sr15/) that we need to reduce emissions drastically and immediately, not by 2050. Our situation is more urgent than it was decades ago. Please do keep up. 3/

After getting fined $15 for an "improper lane change" that killed 2 people, Eric Branstad was cited for alcohol in another crash, this time in his governor dad's jeep.

Eric’s dad became Trump’s US ambassador to China.

Eric himself got a job as a Trump White House adviser.
2. Eric Branstad is now using his political ties to Trump to promote his public relations firm in China, where his (former governor of Iowa) dad is now the US ambassador to China. (This is all perfectly legal, unless you’re an “illegal immigrant”).

3. The vehicle Eric Branstad was driving when he caused the deadly 1991 accident was purchased by his dad’s campaign. In 2001, 8 years after an alcohol possession fine following a crash in his dad’s Jeep (in 1993), Eric was found guilty of operating a vehicle under the influence.
