Stonehenge sprayed with orange powder paint by Just Stop Oil activists
Two people arrested, say police, while Rishi Sunak’s comments on protest prompt response from Labour donor
If you ever wanted to read about fake druids vs. environmental activists, now's your chance.
You're viewing a single thread.
One hopes the powder doesn't cause any lasting damage to a priceless piece of human cultural heritage.
That is my worry. Even if it gets washed off by rain, it can get into cracks.
Eh.
That, too, is the history of the monuments.
That doesn't justify it.
...while I may not like the forms their protest takes, I think - well, they certainly think - it's worth your ire if it opens people's eyes to the oncoming worldwide disaster.
suspect they're right.
Whose eyes do you think aren't open at this point that this stunt would open them?
Like I said elsewhere, this is like what PETA does and people are still eating a lot of meat.
So you really think you understand what's going on?
because the scientists are scared shitless.
dunk on peta all you want, it's not going to stop the world cooking.
And painting Stonehenge is going to stop the world cooking?
better chance of that swaying people than sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.
you do you mate.
Yeah, well, it's hard to go out and do environmental activism when you're too sick to walk more than half an hour without having to rest for four hours afterward. But you do you.
Incidentally, what have you done? Since you're so quick to point a finger at me, let's hear it.
I'm not gonna dox myself for your satisfaction, but in the past few years I've volunteered with habitat for humanity, done wetlands remediation and volunteer weekly with an org that repairs and gives away tools to nonprofits, keeping them out of the waste stream and helping people take care of their houses.
if you're too sick to walk, that shouldn't cause you to shit on everyone else's efforts.
It opens my eyes to a bunch of attention seeking vandals who should rot in jail. It’s too bad we don’t have anyone willing to protest Big oil: I could get behind that
Get a grip
It’s too bad we don’t have anyone willing to protest Big oil
literally what they're doing, you just don't like their method. I'm not here to defend them, but that's pretty pathetic.
