The most prominent – and radical – of the XR leaders is failed organic farmer and PhD student Roger Hallam.

After years in a succession of Left-wing groups, the 52-year-old says the 'name of the game' for XR is to 'bring down all the regimes in the world and replace them'. Hallam says paralysing traffic will eventually cause food shortages and trigger uprisings.

In a recent interview, he said XR protesters should be ready to cause disruption through personal 'sacrifice'. If necessary, they 'should be willing to die'.
