Deflationists and Tyre Extinguishers both say they want to make SUV ownership impossible in urban areas
A new group of climate activists targeting the owners of sports utility vehicles has set itself up as a friendly rival to the Tyre Extinguishers by deflating the tyres of dozens of vehicles in the suburbs of Glasgow.
In a statement released this morning, the group, which calls itself “The Deflationists”, claimed to have let down the tyres of 50 vehicles in the city’s affluent Newlands area and the neighbouring Shawlands.
