The Windsor "Invasion" by Extinction Rebellion

-


Towards the end of  2024 I thought I would see  the Extinction Rebellion protest which was trying to get greater credible action to tackle Climate Change.For this I arrived at Windsor (which was very close to where I lived) by train and as I walked upto the entrance of the elaborate and huge  railway station where I saw a crowd of musically noisey people going up towards King Henry VIII's  gateway which was the main entrance into Windsor Castle. However, a number of police were stationed to ensure that the protesters could not enter the grounds for fear of some riot. Yet, there were only a small number of people amounting possibly upto two or three  hundred. I expected more to be there but that was not the case. Maybe there were some other protesters elsewhere but nearby the scene which was unfolding before my eyes!

Anyway, I decided to sit and watch the protest on one of the public seats leading upto King Henry VIII's gateway. A certain protester in his latter years moved towards me and started asking questions about why I was there in a friendly fashion. I explained that I was interested in the Climate Crisis and that I had also been creating the very basics of a new paradigm in economics referred to as Transfinancial Economics which was very  begining to be gradually seen as a credible solution to funding green sustainable green projects vital for the planet and humanity. He told me that he had met the so-called rebel economist Steve Keen a well known character who was challenging the"sanity" and veracity of mainstream economics. I told him too that he was also interested in my work on TFE. Apparently, Keen had also given a talk about climate change and economics.

The Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle

Back in the early 1970s I knew the old guide at the Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle. He was called George Hudson. From around the ages of 13 - 16  I used to help him with the second floor of the Tower itself as an unofficial guide. The history of this building was surprisingly interesting, and quite often tourists would miss out on not visiting it. Among other things, it is the home of the "small" dungeons where beehive shaped stone cells can still be seen. One poor prisoner tried to make a hole in one of them but was unfortunately caught as he emerged through the guard room of the Curfew Tower. Nowadays, the dungeons are used for social occasions! What follows is a listed, and "potted" description of the Curfew Tower. Here, I am largely relying on memory. I may check for accuracy at some later date... The Guard Room/The "First Floor" (excluding the dungeons which could be seen as being the "basement"). This was also the place where the ...
