Firstly, thank you to Constable Allen and his colleagues from Charing Cross and @MPSSutton for treating me with such kindness and care. I& #39;m sorry if I hurt your backs by making you pick me up. But floppy is all the rage @XRebellionUK
Secondly, I know how immensely privileged I am - middle class, middle-aged, (very) white, secure person, without health problems, recipient of multiple cups of tea courtesy of @MPSSutton, now back home and listening to @BBCRadio3
Another aspect of that privilege is that I& #39;m a historian. And although I often feel like & #39;I don& #39;t know much about history& #39;, I have just about grasped - from a few salient historical examples - that you have to break an egg to make an omelette.
We don& #39;t have much time left in which to make that (obviously vegan) omelette.
It is so obvious that this is the most urgent crisis in historical memory.
I& #39;m not a strategist, nor a politician nor a scientist, but I can see that the climate and ecological emergency has to move to the top of the list NOW.
