Extinction Rebellion targets City of London in ‘blood money’ protest

Activists tour financial institutions to highlight firms they believe to be culpable in climate crisis

Extinction Rebellion protesters poured red paint over the entrances of City institutions as they marched through London's financial district in a protest against the blood money" on which they say the UK economy is built.

In what appeared to be the biggest mobilisation so far this week by the environmental protest group, several thousand demonstrators took a tour of the City, stopping off at the banks and law firms they saw as most culpable in the climate crisis.
