BREAKING: Extinction Rebellion blocks News Corps Printworks and demands they FREE THE TRUTH

As the printing presses crank up, #ExtinctionRebellion groups in North London and Liverpool are taking on the titans of the media industry.

#FreeTheTruth #WeWantToLive #ChangeIsNow
Nearly 80 people are currently blocking the roads leading to two printworks owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp – Broxbourne outside of London and Knowsley near Liverpool. #FreeTheTruth #WeWantToLive #TellTheTruth

extinctionrebellion.uk/2020/09/04/bre…
Broxbourne and Knowsley are home to News Corp titles @TheSun @thetimes @thesundaytimes @Telegraph @DailyMailUK @TheMailOnSunday @EveningStandard and others. The plan is to maintain the block and prevent these papers reaching newsstands on Saturday.
THIS IS NOT THE STORY

We are using disruption to expose their failure to report on the climate & ecological emergency, and their consistent manipulation of truth to suit their own agendas.

FREE THE TRUTH

#TellTheTruth #WeWantToLive #ExtinctionRebellion
THE STORY IS WE'RE STUCK. Some of us with superglue. No, all of us, we’re not moving at the speed needed to tackle the climate and ecological emergency. The right wing media is a barrier to the truth, failing to reflect the scale of the crisis and hold government to account.
Breaking: Activists from Extinction Rebellion Glasgow are also holding a protest at Newsprinters, Eurocentral in Holytown near Motherwell to disrupt the distribution of @ScottishSun newspapers tomorrow. #FreeTheTruth #ExtinctionRebellion
Pictures just in from News Corps Printworks in Knowsley in Liverpool - also shut down by #ExtinctionRebellion
WE WANT TO LIVE - It's all we're asking. Coverage in many of these newspapers is polluting national debate on climate change, immigration policy, the rights and treatment of minority groups, and dozens of other issues. We can't move forward till this barrier falls. #FreeTheTruth

Rebels remain in place. 5 guys remain controlling the news. Rebels have been up all night so that for one Saturday morning their narrative of hate and division is stopped. As arrests begin we remind you to support their case, DONATE NOW: crowdjustice.com/case/extinctio… #FreeTheTruth

When you talk about freedom, you mean freedom to lie to us & exploit us, freedom to deny the truth, freedom to avoid scrutiny, freedom to bypass democracy.

We want freedom from the climate and ecological emergency #WeWantToLive #FreeTheTruth #FreePress #FreeDemocracy
😂Everyone knows the press isn’t free - we haven’t had a PM that wasn’t backed by #Murdoch for 40 yrs.💩 Do you care about the citizens of this country and how many will die as a result of the #ClimateEmergency - or are you really that out of touch? #FreeTheTruth
We haven’t limited access to the news, everyone can read @thesun & @DailyMailUK online. Have you read your own @theCCC report about how you’re failing to meet your own climate targets? That’s the news we all need to read #FreeTheTruth

For anyone losing their 💩 over socialism and XR, stating that we aren’t a socialist movement is not the same as saying we reject socialism.

From the offset, like it or not, we have been an “and” not an “or” movement.
Breaking the traditional impasse of oppositional politics is not the same as appeasing the side with which we may not agree.

It’s a hard route to take, because it means that we will likely have to talk to people we’ve spent a lifetime ‘hating’.
But for the avoidance of any doubt, we don’t hate socialism, we hate the assertion that socialism is the sole silver bullet that will avert ecological collapse.

Capitalism on the other hand can largely fuck right off. We’re not idiots, any more than we are eco-fascists.
