[fender62]

there point in vandalising an ancient monument is, let alone portraits buildings etc, if its to get media attention, then people are are not going to listen to there doomsday message let alone care, id bang them up.

There is no point in anyting they do. I don't know why they seem to have the brains of an Amoeba. Start throwing them in the slammer for 5 years a time.

[Old_Geezer]

I was under the impression that the public aren't allowed anywhere near the stones these days.

[naomi24]

That makes me want to cry.  Why do we keep indulging these morons?  I agree with TTT.  Bang them up - and for a long time.

[Old_Geezer]

Yes, that is probably the government "meaningful action" they are demanding.

[Deskdiary]

You'd like to think they would have the gumption to realise that their pathetic stunts will have no impact on policy at all, but such is their chronic narcissism and entitlement they just simply cannot see it.

You are corrext OG, you cant get to them anymore.  When I was a kids we used to climb over the fallen ones but of course that was eroding them so they stopped people doing it.  It was also free in those days.

As for this lot I wonder how they got there?  Stonehenge is in the middle of nowhere so unlikely they walked (although their shoes probably have oil derivatives) or cycled (They need oil), no doubt by car (even electric need oil).

Total tools the lots of them, I agree TTT 5 years at the mercy of Mr Big in the showers would sort them out.

Not only as Nigel says:

Should they go to prison, while in there they should have to wear those Guantanmo- type orange overalls as they are so fond of the colour.

And how did they get there without using oil ?

[david small]

Don't cry Naomi, I would comfort you. Perhaps spraying these misguided people with some permanent stain markings, preferably very smelly ones. Skunk juice with added crimson colouring?

the stonehenge road tunnel is a far more serious threat to the site. 
 

the place itself is a symbol of worshipping the natural world which we are damaging hideously. the paint will wash off. i think it is an excellent place to do this.

[youngmafbog]

And here's one to lock up ^^^

[Untitled]

why? for disagreeing with you? 

[naomi24]

Untitled, and it's achieved what exactly?  I'll tell you - zilch!

[Untitled]

have you gone on a protest naomi? have you ever actually gone out and stood up for anything at all? 

[theshedman]

Why don't they go to the countries that produce most of the oil they are campaigning about.  We produce some but nowhere near as much as most of the oil producing places.  Oh yes it's because the other countries that do produce oil would bang them up for a very long time or maybe even worse.

[Untitled]

they do do this in the USA. 
 

it also happens in China but climate protestors tend to get disappeared there.

[naomi24]

I've stood up for many things, untitled, but nothing as stupid and as unworkable as this.  This is nothing more than mindless vandalism.  It serves no purpose whatsoever much less garners support for a cause.  

[Khandro]

"Members of the public were heard shouting “no” and running to intervene as Rajan Naidu, 73, and Niamh Lynch, 21, attacked the iconic location."

With those names, they sound like a couple of 'Tebbit Test' failures, and their view of what Stonehenge represents to the British people is perhaps somewhat blinkered.

   

[theshedman]

Exactly my point untitled.   They are too afraid to protest in China and in some other countries.  Protest in a country where they know not much will happen to them, slapped wrist or small fine.  Oh sorry not slapped wrist as that is corporal punishment and we can't have that can we.

[ToraToraTora]

untitled, you support these morons? You must know that the UK cannot do anything about world oil usage. Even if we alone stop 100% of Carbon emmissions it willl make zero difference, a bit fat zero. You cannot be that dim.

I think cleaner air, mass insulation of homes and sustainable energy are good things in and of themselves toratoratora and also things that would make this country a significantly better place to live for its citizens. it doesn't have to be about the rest of the world.
