News in Tooting

After a late winner at Stamford Bridge, it just reminded us how important Chelsea are to the Premier League.

Supporters displaying the banner 'The Roman Empire' may feel they are supporting their team rather than Abramovich – but they must open their eyes to where his money came from.

At 1pm on Saturday, June 12, members of Extinction Rebellion Wandsworth gathered at Tooting Broadway to protest about illegal air pollution levels in the borough.

Some wore hazmat suits and gas masks and held 'Toxic Air Zone' signs. 'Ghost Buggies' – children's buggies painted white – carried stark messages about the dangers of air pollution such as 'Toxic Air, No Thank You', 'Help A Child Live' and 'You Exhaust Me'. 'Green man swarmers' held up banners proclaiminwg 'Think Before You Drive'. Others handed out leaflets to mostly supportive passersby.

Extinction Rebellion Wandsworth are calling out Wandsworth Council's Climate Summit for trying to deflect attention from their own failings on to the behaviour of individuals.
