London: The organiser of a group which stripped in Britain's House of Commons calling for a change in climate policy has spoken following the unique protest.
The demonstrators stripped down to their underpants in the public gallery on Monday while lawmakers were debating Brexit.
Some had slogans including "SOS" and "stop wasting time" written on their bodies.
Extinction Rebellion organiser William Cooke told the Associated Press that his group believes that Brexit negotiations have hindered progress on climate change.
"At the moment we have got the politicians spending an enormous amount of time fiddling with Brexit deck chairs on the Titanic and we are looking at the collapse of society because of climate change", Cooke said.
Police officers removed the protesters, some of whom had glued their hands to a glass barrier.

Police said they were arrested on suspicion of "outraging public decency".
Lawmakers continued debating Brexit, with some making reference to the disruption.
