This is not the first time a work of art has been targeted by these idiots. Because of course taping paper over a 200 year old painting is not going to damage it. What an absolute load of idiots. I do not know whether the painting was damaged or not - but I imagine neither do they. As a matter of common sense anything of that age and value ought to be treated with some care.
I accept that some may agree with their cause. But is potentially damaging priceless art the way to do it?

I'm not sure what makes me the most angry though, blocking roads or attacking art.
Attacking art doesn't actually harm anyone in the same way that blocking a road does. Still makes my blood boil though.
I dunno. Anyway, I'm away to bed. I blummin tripped over the well cover in the garden about 30 mins ago when we were trying to look at the baby tawny owl with the night scope. I'm going to be black and blue tomorrow.

"Just Stop Oil"
Errr, and replace with what exactly?
Oil is used in so many products it is impossible to just stop.
Oil will have been used in the manufacture of the trainers on the protestors feet, and looking at the woman's jacket, most likely in the production of that as well.
If they're that committed to their cause they should ensure they have nothing to do with any product where is oil is used, but of course they won't, because (a) I'd suggest it is virtually impossible to do so, but (b), even if it was possible, people like this tend to be hypocrites.

Same crowd that targeted Silverstone.
Idiotic? Appears so on the surface. I don't think all of them are ignorant idealists.
They are a part of a very well organised, international movement awash with dark money.
Or, concerned people who actually care about the planet being helped out by compassionate billionaires. (for the gullible)
Personally, I doubt the people behind it care much about or even believe in climate change but that's just another, developing, conspiracy theory. ;-)
