Co-founder Arthur Clifton, a former leading figure in Just Stop Oil, explained the first strategy would involve a series of "take backs". Speaking to roughly 200 activists, he said: "We have seen that food is locked behind skyrocketing prices. Less and less people can afford less and less food. "So what we do is actually pretty obvious - we go in there, we take it out and we redistribute it to the local community. This is what we are going to be doing in March."
Four protesters were arrested on Saturday after throwing custard and apple crumble on the display case containing the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London, police said. Take Back Power, an organization that describes itself as a civil resistance group, claimed responsibility. The group posted the footage of the incident on social media. "Democracy has crumbled!" a young woman yelled, with a man adding, "Britain is broken." "We've come here, to the jewels of the nation, to take back power," he added.
