@danielratcliffe What happened to #ReclaimTheStreets? I remember one or two takeovers in #Birmingham in about 1996. The #police charged a crowd in the city centre and were hitting people which seemed like a completely reasonable reaction. Did the people behind #ReclaimTheStreets get locked up? #ExtinctionRebellion seems to be using similar tactics two and a half decades later.
