EXTINCTION REBELLION says it will hold one of the country’s largest-ever participatory democratic events in Windsor Great Park.

The environmental activist group outlined plans today for a three-day occupation within sight of Windsor Castle, King Charles’s Berkshire residence, starting this Friday.

The first day will dramatise how Britain’s democratic system has been broken by fossil fuel lobbying with a performance by XR’s black-clad Oil Slicks on the famous vista, the Long Walk.
