Extinction Rebellion activists used a fire engine to spray "1,800 litres of fake blood” at the facade of the British finance ministry on Thursday, but accidentally sprayed the red paint on nearby journalists when they lost control of the fire hose, soaking the steps of the building and surrounding area.

After the stunt, four activists stood atop the fire engine which had a banner saying "Stop funding climate death."

Police said they arrested four people on suspicion of criminal damage and that some roads had been closed. At the scene, police puzzled over what to do with the fire engine, which was apparently purchased on Ebay.

That looked pretty bad for the environment

Remember when Greta said "What will you do when your house is on fire" ? Well, the first thing you won't do is call these clowns to put the fire out. Not only would they fail at putting the fire out, they would end up setting fire to everyone else's house, connect the hoses to the gas supply rather than the water supply, and blow up the fire engine.

I love how they try to catch it instead of turning off the valve at the engine.

That is why you don't have a Beta hold the firehose.

The question is ; how did they got a firetruck?

Nothing like being pretentious to truly get the message across. Nothing will be good enough for these people, because all they do is act like everyone else is the problem.

I’m all for saving the planet... just really worried. Who is going to save us from these people?

I love the guy near the end yelling "You morons put all these people in jeopardy." Yes, clearly these people know what's best for the world.

"You Morons" ... a bit of an understatement. They couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

0:03 the best part is when the hose explodes in the guy’s face and he’s just reconsidering his hobbies

The final scene where the fire engine is just standing on top of a pile of red is just poetic for their entire movement, failure and misery.
