00:00 I'm here to support my friend Gayle because I'm proud of her and what she and all of these
00:06 women are standing up for is for life really.
00:11 And there's a crime at the heart of this case this morning and it's not Gayle smashing of
00:16 the window.
00:17 It's the plan that HS2 was and still is in part, which is a crime against nature, it's
00:25 a crime against our children and our futures.
00:28 I think if I think of a world without Extinction Rebellion I think we'd be in a much worse
00:34 place.
00:38 And you know today's case kind of shows you where we're at, that they are willing to charge
00:46 Gayle for coming out and protecting life.
00:51 It shows you that we're at, I think, the dying ends of a system that is disconnected from
00:56 life and not interested in the future for our children.
01:00 Gayle's a mother who simply wants to protect that.
01:04 This country is one of the most depleted in terms of its own natural resources and its
01:10 loss of habitat for nature, which without which we can't, you know, our children, it's
01:16 not going to be a planet worth living on.
01:17 So she's standing up for the most important thing and they want her to pay £25,000 for
01:25 breaking a window.
01:27 So hers isn't the crime, it's the crime that's at the heart of it, is this very disconnected
01:35 plan to make life more convenient for some privileged few.
