Extinction Rebellion eco activists descend on Poole oil leak site

ECO activists descended on a Dorset oil farm on bank holiday Monday demanding its licence to operate be revoked.

Environmentalists from Extinction Rebellion marched to Wytch Farm in rural Purbeck, banging drums and holding placards before setting up camp with a picnic outside the entrance gates.

Many took a microphone to denounce oil company Perenco for the oil leak in Poole Harbour in March, with others blasting its “petrol head” boss François Perrodo for his impressive car collection.
