They call themselves "The Tyre Extinguishers" and say they have one aim: to make it impossible to own a 4x4 in the world's urban areas.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
The climate activists go out at night and deflate the tyres of SUVs in affluent areas, from the UK and Scandinavia, to New Zealand and the USA.
They claim they've struck around 5,000 vehicles all over Britain in the last few months, with one police force describing their actions as reckless.
We’ve been to meet them.

That's above ABH. GBH is causing serious bodily harm that's not just bruises that's broken bones, deep heavily bleeding cuts, concussion etc. Even if you were detaining a cereal murderer that level of violence would be difficult to justify.

The UK sees 1,000,000's of heart attacks, strokes, cancers and asthma attacks every year from air pollution so deflated tyres are hardly an inconvenience in the grand scheme of things. We urgenlty need more affordable and reliable busses and safe cycle routes. We have around 30,000,000 cars and 40,000 buses in the UK with little change in the last 30 years while sales for petrol and diesel have hovered just under 50,000,000,000 litres per year with no change since 1989. A ban on SUVs and any car over 1,300 cc is long overdue.

I don't necessarily agree with their actions, but they are certainly right on SUV's. Larger than necessary, pollute more than necessary, and dangerous for both the occupants and anyone they involve in a collision with them. Why does anyone in Clifton need an SUV?! There's no real reason, no one is commuting through the Sahara desert, nor rock crawling over the Andes, nor are they carrying sheep or cargo in sufficient quantity to justify the volume of the car.
