climate rush glue themselves to Parliament

4 members of Climate Rush have just glued themselves to a statue in Parliament, 100 years to the day after a Suffragette
4 protesters stuck their hands together to form a chain around a statue of Viscount Falkland, which was the site of protest by a suffragette 100 years ago. It is 100 years to the day that a suffragette chained herself to the same statue as part of the campaign to secure votes for women - the authorities had to cut through the statue's sword to release her.
The action was in response to the go-ahead for new generation coal-fired power stations. The 4 were arrested for public order offences and criminal damage.
