‘Surely they swarmed the buzz?’ Extinction Rebellion brutally mocked after ‘bee’ activists glue themselves to Lib Dems’ bus Extinction Rebellion (XR) climate change activists dressed up as bees and glued themselves to the Liberal Democrats' election bus – which happens to be electric – leading to ridicule and a flurry of bee-based puns on Twitter.
