    Just Stop Oil protesters spray Stonehenge with paint

    Environmental protesters have sprayed Britain’s most famous prehistoric structure, Stonehenge, with orange paint a day before huge crowds are expected to gather there for the summer solstice.

    A video posted on X by Just Stop Oil shows two of the group’s activists spraying the landmark using fire extinguishers.

    Hmmm, Stonehenge will shrug that off like it always has.

    Reminds me of how the statues in Rome used to be ornately colored and not the white marble slabs we know and love.

    Unless cold fusion becomes a reality or modular fission reactors can be cheaply made, oil/gas free 2040 is a pipe dream.

    These are just more of the “LOOK AT ME!”
    Protests. It’s more about getting attention than it is about the actual issue being protested.

    Agreed and I don't get the correlation between the two, what does Stonehenge have to do with oil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or when they throw paint on an old painting, what does one have to do with the other. These idiots need to be arrested
