Hopefully these XR morons will go extinct before the rest of us

Ah well, with luck they will GO BROKE too.

The V&A has decided in its infinite wisdom to celebrate the unwashed, dog-on-a-string, ecoterrorist organisation Extinction Rebellion, by showcasing a collection of its artefacts. Hopefully they will all have been washed and sterilised first so as not to constitute a health hazard…

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) will host two Extinction Rebellion exhibitions praising the protest movement which brought London to a standstill for creating “welcoming spaces for all”.

Banners, stamps, flags, posters and photographs will be displayed at the V&A’s Rapid Response Collecting Gallery in South Kensington this weekend to showcase the group’s “coherent and impactful visual identity” and “do-it together” attitude.

A high-vis jacket worn by a child protester is among the items on show at the second exhibition, which runs for six months from August at the V&A Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green.

The world famous museum said it wants to show how Extinction Rebellion “engages with young families” and “creates spaces that are welcoming for all”. (source)

Welcoming for all except ordinary people trying to go about their business without being impeded by a bunch of totalitarian environmental extremists.

Utterly mad.
