COP26 protesters march on Glasgow defence firm and Home Office.

Climate change protesters have targeted UK government offices and a shipyard in Glasgow.

Hundreds of Extinction Rebellion activists assembled at an immigration centre in the Cessnock area before marching to nearby BAE Systems.

Police have lined the gates of the Govan yard where protesters have blocked the road.


Douglas Renshaw, of Extinction Rebellion Glasgow, said BAE Systems had been targeted because of what he described as the link between military action and climate change.

He said: "Our governments have allowed spending on arms to outstrip spending on climate solutions.

"They've created a brutal world where many face conflict over ravaged resources."


She said: "We're going to see lots of displaced form the climate emergency.

"They want to be in their homes, they want to be in their country, they don't want to be here but they do need our support and solidarity right now."

Protesters gave speeches and banged drums outside the Home Office building before setting off for BAE Systems.
