Day three of the 'Extinction rebellion' in Bristol turned a corner according to the city's Mayor, Marlon Adams ... he explained that the demonstrators had broken the 'Memorandum of Understanding' in leaving the assigned area for demonstartion and blocking the main artery into the city, the M32 motorway.
From around 7am to 4pm, protesters fixed themselves to a pink bath in the centre of the junction allowing traffic to enter into the city, they used superglue to glue themselves to the road and the bath and some protesters used metal tubes to lock themselves together, through the bath.
Police eventually turned up in force and began the slow process of arresting demonstrators, some of whom were de-arrested once moved out of the centre of the road, eventally allowing police to cut and de-glue the final group of demonstrators from the bath and road. Estimates from the Police and Crime Commissioner of the cost to the city of the protest so far was given at around £300,000.
