YouGov has done some more polling into what Brits make of Just Stop Oil’s latest antics. The results aren’t surprising…
The Van Gogh soup throwing antics scored them sentences from two years to twenty months. Of all Britons, a whopping 73% agree with the sentences or think they should be longer. Only 18% say it’s too harsh. In general about 75% of Brits say JSO’s tactics, including blocking trains, stalling motorways, and throwing soup on art are “completely unacceptable.” 8% have a problem with holding a demonstration in a town square…
Hilariously those “climate conscious” Brits who say the government isn’t doing enough on climate change also support the souper sentences. 58% are in agreement with the judge, 24% think he was too lenient…
Eco-posho Phoebe Plummer called from HMP Bronzefield on the weekend where she “asks us not to feel sorry about her prison sentences.“ Doesn’t look like anyone is…
More of Just Stop Oil’s eco-army have scored stints in the clink this afternoon. Joining recently sentenced Extinction Rebellion founder Roger Hallam…
Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland threw Heinz soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in 2022. Causing £10,000 worth of damage to its 300-year-old frame…
Judge Christopher Hehir has sentenced Plummer to two years and the other to 20 months just now. There are, as co-conspirators might imagine, two bail conditions:
- They can’t carry glue, paint or any adhesive substance in public.
- They can’t visit any galleries or museums.
Plummer defended herself by saying: “I intended to shine a light on the climate crisis and on the cost of living crisis.” She can shine a light on the prison wall from now on…
Austria’s version of Just Stop Oil, desperately named “Last Generation”, has had to shut down, citing a lack of “success” as their excuse. For three years the climate crusaders created chaos across the country through the familiar eco-warrior tactics – blocking roads and hurling paint at artworks. They even thought to march through residential streets of Vienna at 4:30 a.m. with bells and bullhorns to disturb unwitting citizens. Now they’re facing their own wake-up call…
After mounting legal issues over their useless and disruptive actions, Last Generation have been forced to give up – their remaining assets to be used to finance the costs of “criminalisation and investigations”. Guido can only hope JSO will be next…
Eco-warriors cheered on the Just Stop Oil activists – or “Whole Five Truth” as they’ve lovingly dubbed them – sentenced yesterday. Despite their wails and chants of “we love you”, the eco-terrorists were still landed with record sentences. Unsurprisingly, morally righteous Labour MP Clive Lewis was one of those attending the solidarity protest. As was bird-sniffing presenter Chris Packham…
Packham hasn’t shied away from parroting his concern of climate change in the past, so standing with his brothers from Just Stop Oil isn’t a total shock. Though his concern for the climate only goes so far. Last week, Packham posted on X an article pushing to stop carbon capture tree planting near Peebles in the Scottish Borders. An opposition group (SRAG Ltd) have been granted permission to take Scottish Forestry, which is behind the climate-change friendly project, to court. For Packham, it seems in a toss up between saving the climate and making sure investors don’t get more money than deemed appropriate, the climate gets it…
Extinction Rebellion founder Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil accomplices who brought the M25 to a standstill have been given record sentences in Southwark Crown Court just now. Judge Christopher Hehir didn’t hold back in his summary:
“The plain fact is that each of you some time ago has crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic. You have appointed yourselves as sole arbiters of what should be done about climate change.”
The grizzled eco-terrorist veteran, one of those who climbed a gantry on the motorway near Heathrow in November 2022, has been jailed for a whopping five years. Just Stop Oil activists, who call those sentenced the “Whole Truth Five“, cheered and said “We love you” as the offenders arrived to be sentenced. Fat lot of good that did them…
Eco-warriors Just Stop Oil have sprayed Stonehenge, the prehistoric megalithic structure, orange. The protesters proudly announced on Twitter, that two of their people “took action the day before Summer Solstice, demanding the incoming government sign up to a legally binding treaty to phase out fossil fuels by 2030”. Quite what the 5,000 year old monument has to do with climate change is unclear…
UPDATE: The two people have been arrested on suspicion of damaging Stonehenge, according to the Wiltshire police.
