In a wild Wednesday stunt, two environmental activists from Just Stop Oil sprayed orange paint on Stonehenge, the iconic 5,000-year-old monument in England. 🏴 Police swiftly arrested the pair, who used cornstarch-based powder paint to “decorate” the ancient stones, demanding the UK phase out fossil fuels by 2030. 🌱💥
Footage of the protest—featuring activists in branded tees—went viral, sparking outrage. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called it a “disgraceful act of vandalism,” while heritage officials scrambled to assess damage. 🔍 English Heritage confirmed the site remains open, though visibly altered by the neon-orange spectacle.
This isn’t Just Stop Oil’s first rodeo: the group has blocked roads, disrupted sports events, and even splashed soup on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers. 🌻 Their message? “No new oil, gas, or coal—full stop.” But critics argue targeting cultural treasures crosses a line. 🤔
