Amazon depots blockaded by XR

EXTINCTION Rebellion activists today staged blockades at more than a dozen Amazon depots across the UK in a Black Friday protest.

The activist group tweeted that it was blockading 13 sites, including Tilbury in Essex, Milton Keynes, Manchester and Peterborough. In Dartford protesters held up a banner saying: “Black Friday exploits people and planet.”

An Amazon spokesperson said: “We take our responsibilities very seriously. That includes our commitment to be net zero carbon by 2040.”
