“I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, straining upon the start. The game’s afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry God for Harry, England, and Saint George!”
Shakespeare’s Henry V.
Henry V might not have been as woke as the present Prince Harry, but his courage at Harfleur and Agincourt still flows in English veins. The proof of that was delivered this morning during rush hour at a metro station in London, England.
Facing the fashionably left-wing fanatics of the Extinction Rebellion climate movement, Londoners decided to stage their own little revolt. Infuriated by weeks of protests that have seen Extinction Rebellion attempt to cripple London’s transportation network, the men and women of Canning Town decided enough was enough. A working class community in East London, Canning Town’s residents work hard and won’t easily stand for idiots. And Extinction Rebellion, which ignores China’s pumping of carbon into the atmosphere and seeks self-induced poverty in the West, is most certainly idiotic.
So, when a couple of protesters in blazers climbed onto a train so as to delay good people from getting to work, the people of Canning Town responded gloriously. They stiffened the sinews, summoned up the blood, and dragged the prats off the top of the train. A few commuters overreacted perhaps by mobbing the protesters on the ground, but no one appears to have been injured.
Watch the glorious battle below.
