The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.

Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.

Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.

    Ffs just blow up a pipeline or sabotage parts of their infrastructure or follow the higher ups home and deface their homes.

      Or go sabotage a monument in Saudi-Arabia, they produce more oil than anyone.

      Throwing orange corn starch on the Black Stone in Mecca would be amazing press.

        They won’t do that. That would involve being killed. There is a reason why Peta throws red paint on old ladies wearing fur and not on biker gangs wearing leather.

        The very worst thing the UK government is going to do is throw them in jail for a few months, maybe a small fine.

            Following someone once is not stalking. For stalking there has to be a persistent pattern. Or else women would be able to get stalkers arrested a lot more often instead of being killed by them.

              Fucking thank you for the nitpicking. I’m sure you can deduct where people live if you followed them somewhere once.

              Christ almighty the thickness.

              Encouraging people to do crimes IRL, while posting on the internet anonymously, sitting on your fat ass consuming resources that accelerate climate change.

                  Explain the correlation between you not understanding what a protest is and me supposedly “munching boots”.

                  Sit the fuck back down, basement-dweller, and enjoy people doing the hard work of resisting the status quo for you.
