Climate activists disrupt City of London insurance conference
Activists protest the conference [Extinction Rebellion]

ACTIVISTS stormed an insurance conference in the City of London today, urging workers to cut ties with firms enabling climate destruction.

Extinction Rebellion protesters sat in a cardboard replica of a sinking Lamborghini sports car, which had been transformed into a karaoke booth, and invited passers-by to join them in singing songs about quitting their jobs.

Activists impersonating insurance workers read satirical tabloid newspapers such the Daily Fail, which had a front page reading: “Fire, flood, famine — but insurance CEOs laugh all the way to the bank.”
