Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed

Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022

This was the one soup-throwing which did any damage at all; in this case to the frame.

The penalty is appreciably worse than for minor violent attacks.

    But it’s not moving the needle, not at all ! It’s only fuelling antipathy towards environmental activism, and you can bet your favourite thing rightwingers are using that to pull centrists into their side.

      I’ve given some pretty compelling evidence that public support for these activists is extremely high, and in response you have… some flatulence.

      But it is moving the needle, it totally is!

      See? I can say things too.
