An inside look at those arrested at the extinction rebellion protests

It was not until watching my previous work colleagues being arrested on national news that I began to reflect on my time working at Greenpeace.

Before starting my day, I walked past Goldman Sachs’ headquarters and saw that its entrance was full of police and people with placards. I had only recently finished writing a story on British hedge fund Astra busy taking Goldman to court for losing $70m to the bank, which (allegedly) broke established criteria around a synthetic CDO (the same kind of financial jiggery-pokery which was going on prior to the 2008 financial crisis), so I was not overly upset by the sight of Goldman being on the Extinction Rebellion hit list.
