Reported about 1 year ago

On June 19, 2024, members of the environmental group 'Just Stop Oil' sprayed orange powder paint on the iconic UK Stonehenge, prompting a tourist to intervene. The tour guide highlighted the ecological significance of the lichens on the stones, criticizing the environmentalists' actions. The group's vandalism on historical sites has sparked backlash, leading to arrests; criticisms range from lack of respect for culture to ineffective protest methods. The group aims to end oil, gas, and coal extraction and combustion in the UK by 2030, but their tactics, including disrupting cultural events and art, have been widely condemned.
