STEPHEN FRY voiced support today for the Extinction Rebellion (XR) protests that are set to occupy parts of central London from next week in the name of tackling the climate crisis. 

In a video shared on Twitter, the actor and comedian praised the group for attempting to force politicians into action through “disruptive” demonstrations.

Plans for the protests involve occupations, targeted action and marching in London. The demonstrations will be centred around the financial district, with activists demanding that the government stops all new investment in fossil fuels.
