Protesters occupy Tesla showroom, demanding mega rich be taxed out of existence

PROTESTERS occupied a Tesla showroom in London today, demanding that the mega-rich be taxed out of existence to fund climate action.
Dozens of activists from Climate Resistance marched through Westfield shopping centre and dropped a banner reading “Abolish billionaires” above the showroom before staging the sit-in.
The action marked the launch of the Abolish Billionaires campaign, which calls for the imposition of a 100 per cent wealth tax on assets of more than £10 million to fund public services and efforts to reduce climate change.
