Today at approximately 8:20 a.m., demonstrators poured orange paint over the properties of HR Owen Bugatti, Jack Barclay Bentley, Bentley Motor Cars London, and Ferrari Mayfair.
Two protestors were apprehended after attacking several luxury automobile businesses in downtown London.
Today at approximately 8:20 a.m., the Just Stop Oil protestors splattered orange paint on the showrooms of HR Owen Bugatti, Jack Barclay Bentley, Bentley Motor Cars London, and Ferrari Mayfair.
According to the Metropolitan Police, two demonstrators were arrested for criminal damage.
Carmen Lean, a 28-year-old architecture student from Glasgow, remarked, “We pay high prices for oil and gas, but our children will pay even more.”
“The discovery of new oil and gas is a death sentence for people around the world. You can throw us in jail, but that will not diminish our fury at a government that throws millions of people under the bus.
“We are not requesting additional oil; we are demanding it.
This government is utilizing the current economic crisis to push through additional austerity measures and new oil licenses. Both are the death penalty. If this government cared about the people, they would insulate homes, invest in affordable public transportation, and vastly expand renewable energy.”
On Tuesday morning, Just Stop Oil protestors targeted the downtown London offices of a climate-skeptic research group by pouring orange paint on the building’s exterior.
They claimed to be targeting the HQ Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), which was established by former Conservative chancellor Nigel Lawson to battle what it perceives to be detrimental climate policies.
It was part of a larger demonstration that saw six protestors block Horseferry Road at the intersection with Tufton Street in Westminster yesterday morning, impeding traffic by sitting in the road with Just Stop Oil banners.
Others cemented themselves to the road, while others bonded together.
Seven people were arrested on suspicion of willful blockage of a highway, and one person was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Just Stop Oil stated that it will continue its month-long series of rallies to urge the government to cease the issuance of all new oil and gas licenses and consents.
Just Stop Oil reports that 585 arrests have been made since the group began its campaign.
It stated that its supporters have been arrested 1,900 times, with seven being incarcerated today.
