British Climate Protesters Recreate 1908 Suffragette 'Rush' on Parliament. By Louise Gray, Telegraph (UK), October 14, 2008. "Six people were arrested after an attempt to recreate the suffragettes' 'rush' on parliament 100 years ago, during an otherwise peaceful protest in Westminster... A new coalition of groups known as the Climate Suffragettes, which includes stalwarts of middle England the Women's Institute as well as more extreme environmental movements Climate Rush and Plane Stupid, are calling for reform of environment policy, a halt to building more coal fired power stations and an end to airport expansion. Wearing Edwardian clothes and handing out cake, the protest started peacefully in Parliament Square with speeches from each group."
