Stonehenge Sprayed with Orange Paint by Environmental Protesters
Just Stop Oil Supporters Demand UK Government Commit to Fossil Fuel Ban
Two members of the environmental protest group Just Stop Oil covered part of Stonehenge in orange powder paint on Sunday.
The activists are demanding that the incoming UK government commit to enacting Just Stop Oil's original demand: a ban on all new fossil fuel projects in the country. The group has been carrying out a series of high-profile protests in recent weeks, targeting oil infrastructure and government buildings.
"The UK's government in waiting has committed to enacting Just Stop Oils original demand," said a spokesperson for the group in a statement. "They have promised to stop new oil and gas projects, and to speed up the transition to renewable energy. This is a sign that our protests are working, and that the government is taking the climate crisis seriously.
The Stonehenge protest is the latest in a series of direct actions by Just Stop Oil. The group has previously blocked oil terminals, occupied oil company headquarters, and disrupted fuel supplies. While the protests have been controversial, they have also raised awareness of the climate crisis and the need for urgent action.
