Just Stop Oil sure know how to alienate any potential support.

Well done to that old lady for having a go at tackling the protesters

Just stop oil has lost all credibility... No-one will be persuaded by this... They will achieve the total opposite of their aims.

[JaneStevens-dfqw]

Well done person who stopped these fools.

PS. These "people" are no better than the ones who blew up the Buddha-Statues in Afghanistan. same level of "respect" for Historical Heritage.

Two people doing something is not a protest is vandalism and should be charged as that

What is the carbon footprint of a 5 thousand year old stone.

Stop Oil making people more Pro Oil everyday. 👍

It should be noted that the possible damage includes the rare mosses and fungi that live on and near the stones. In an effort to save humanity from extinction, they might have just helped push other species to extinction. Narcissistic philistines.

The Druids would have had the right idea of what to do with these people

[condew]

Some rich woman funds "Just Stop Oil", so the vandalism she paid for should be cleaned up at her expense.

No news organisation should have any of their supporters or spokespeople on their shows.

[daveh]

Can we all just admit that nobody likes these people?

[hittitecharioteer]

NOT "environmentalists". Anti-capitalist anarchists.

[tomtom]

Considering no oil was used in the construction of StoneHenge .

[gotocov]

Stop just oil, just stop reporting on them.

[mattking]

Im driving an extra 100 miles this week for no reason

[ianwhiting]

I wonder how they got there? Stonehenge is not blessed with public transport.

Unless they’re held accountable they’re not going to stop
