Just Stop Oil activist sprays orange paint on News UK headquarters' windows

The entrance to News UK’s building has been spray-painted orange by Just Stop Oil activists.

In their latest demonstration targeting key central London buildings, the environmental group also used fire extinguishers to spray paint onto the Bank of England, M15’s building, and the Home Office.

This video shows the protesters covering up the News UK logo on the building’s glass entrance, near London Bridge.

Just Stop Oil tweeted: “The buildings were chosen to represent the four pillars that support and maintain the power of the fossil fuel economy — government, security, finance and media.”

Maybe now journalists will do some journaling and find out who's paying these guys...

Hmm... I see a pattern forming here. Almost like environmental issues are just a cover for a certain kind of political ideology

[mydogeatspuke]

Surely this is vandalism and they should be arrested?

You are only hurting the poor buggers that have to clean this up…no one else at that awful company gives a sh*t! Please try to remember that your first idea for a protest might not be your best idea!!!

I wonder if they think about the fact that the paint that they're using is bad for the environment and that they're actually just drawing the ozone while doing this protest to stop the use of oil

Well at least these spoiled toffs aren't blocking ambulances again.

Just make them clean their own mess up. While the wagie cleaner sits & watches & tells them they’ve missed a bit 😁

Was this revenge when The Sun was reporting on their criminal tactics?

Maybe go around to their houses and do it to the outside of their building, art they may have inside and generally everywhere in their home. BUT most seem to be young adults most probably living with their parents or living in their student accomodation.

Let the show continue, it's business as usual.

[eldragonrojo]

At least the window cleaners are getting paid

[kungfooslap]

Some poor hard working person will flip at these idiots and that will be lives ruined because people want to have and not earn a place at the decision table…😊

How to frighten the new generation: put them in a room with an analog watch, a fax machine and a TV with no remote control. Write a paper with all the instructions in cursive and record their reaction.

[douglasfreeman]

Oh my god! They sprayed paint! Bring back the drop!

[MrTheevilmage]
