Topless Extinction Rebellion activists were hauled away by police in London on Thursday (September 10) after padlocking themselves to the gates of the UK Parliament on the final day of the group's days-long climate-change protest.

The protesters used bicycle locks to attach themselves to the gates.

"It didn't take too long for the police to cut through the locks using an angle grinder," Newsflare's filmer said. "Then, as the topless protesters were arrested, they were applauded by the crowds as each one was being carried away to waiting police vans."

Around 20 protesters were thought to be hauled away.

Today, (August 10), as Extinction Rebellion reached their climax, they took to London's streets on their final day of high profile mass protests across the capitol, which are also happening throughout the UK and the world, to send a clear message to the government to take action, who they feel are not highlighting or taking action for the climate crisis and the implications of a hotter world.

And this theme was the environment, and to highlight the worrying and serious effects of global warming and the effects it has on the planet. That is why 20 + topless Extinction Rebellion protesters locked themselves to the Palace of Westminster gates using a bikes D-lock, secured around their neck to lock themselves to the gate, surrounded by dozens of Police who kept warning the public to move on,

The police kept reminding the on-lookers to "move back" and reminding the on-lookers of the "2-metre distance rules" because of the latest Coronavirus guidelines.
