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.
Yet another Just Stop Oil spin-off group called “Youth Demand” has turned up to the Labour Party HQ on Rushworth Street this afternoon to spray red paint on the outside as well as in the lobby and hold up banners saying: “Labour and Tory: Genocide Enablers“. The extra branding decor is in line with Just Stop Oil’s new policy – to give the Tories a break and harass Labour…
One of the painter-decorators, naturally a student at Oxford, says: “Young people will not stand by and watch Kier [spelt incorrectly] Starmer allow mass murder by selling weapons to Israel and allowing the development of new oil and gas.” At least they got the right building this time…
UPDATE: 11 protestors have been arrested.
Climate activists from Just Stop Oil hijacked Shadow Attorney General Emily Thornberry’s discussion on fraud with the Institute for Government. Not even ten minutes in to Emily taking the stage, orange confetti along with accusations of hypocrisy showered the Labour MP. Meanwhile, Lord Walney is saying environmentalist could become violent terrorists…
Just Stop Oil’s threats just get more and more terrifying. Their latest intimidation tactic is to enter electoral politics, with their aim being to “take the reins and to take political power”. They do say Westminster is Hollywood for ugly people…
JSO held a public online Zoom meeting last night aimed to enlightening 80 people about their “secret plan to cause nationwide election chaos”. It follows The Times’ revelation that JSO will fuel their energy toward Labour MPs and candidates, urging them to pledge to resign if a Labour government fails cancel oil and gas licences by targeting their offices and speeches. If the Green party is anything to go by, Guido’s not sure JSO candidates will get many seats. The greatest form of protest…
Yesterday eco-posho Just Stop Oil activist Cressie Gethin appeared for the eighth day at Isleworth Crown Court to defend her case for climbing up a gantry and shutting down an entire chunk of the M25 in June 2022 because the government is “writing policies that are killing people around the world“. By blocking the motorway close to Heathrow, her stunt impacted over 3,000 people, delayed 26 flights, and had 19 cancelled at the airport. The stunt must have been a great sacrifice for Gethin, her being a music student at Cambridge…
Gethin hit one of three gantries as part of the motorway stunts. She claims in her defence that “whilst this may sound unbelievable, I did not realise that the stretch of motorway I was on led to Heathrow.” Guido finds that a little hard to believe after taking a look at where exactly the gantry is…
From the height of the platform the airport, 500 metres away, is pretty easily visible to those with passable eyesight. Amazingly Gething went on to say “that, despite not being aware of the location at the time, I do not think that near Heathrow was an inappropriate place to conduct this protest… because of the relevance of air travel to the message I was trying to get heard“. She wants it both ways…
UPDATE: Gethin has now been convicted of causing a public nuisance. Judge Hannah Duncan said “evidence about climate change wasn’t admissible or relevant”.
Just Stop Oil have had to get creative when it comes to generating cash. They’ve now got a “Winter Art Sale“, show casing what they call the “world’s hottest deals“. One such example is a painting of two naked men for the fair price of £1,000. A steal…
Other bargains include Warhol-esque prints of tomato soup – a happy reference to JSO’s favourite vandalism prop – and prints with “if we don’t want to unf**k the system baby we’re f**ked” for £580. No doubt this will appeal to rich lefties with more money than sense…
