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

    People who get angry at Just Stop Oil tactics are just showing their ignorance of civil rights and protest history.

      Re: protest history: Like how the suffragettes sent letter bombs to people? It is not a cut and dry, “I’m right, therefore anything I do is unimpeachable.”

      Nobody deserves a free pass to use any means they deem necessary by virtue of fighting for what we/they consider the “right things.”
