Dr Larch Maxey, real name Ian, was one of the Euston tunnellers who burrowed under the HS2 site in January 2021 and spent four weeks underground with veteran eco warrior Swampy.
He told an Insulate Britain meeting in Coventry in September 2021, attended by an undercover Mail on Sunday reporter, that the group had ‘trained up’ ‘working class spokespeople’ in a bid to shake off its middle-class image.
At the time, Dr Maxey, 50, was sporting an ankle tag as part of his bail conditions after being arrested for his part in the HS2 protests. All charges were dropped.
In an earlier interview with The Guardian, he said he had no income and described himself as a ‘relaxed freegan’ – someone who only eats leftover food that would be going to waste.
He tries to recycle clothing, saying: ‘If there’s a sock on the pavement, I’ll pick it up and give it a rinse at home.’
He spent nine hours in a police cell in 2018 after being arrested for obstructing Southwark Bridge.
