    No matter how well you plan your dignified and stately protest where you recite a communist monologue, pour soup over your head, and superglue your hand to the building, something embarrassing might still happen.

    Well what's fun is that their own dumbfuck social protocols paint themselves into a corner. They ever fight back, even a little, and now we're talking about something very different from protesting. So If you find a creative workaround to their shenanigans, they have to go along with it.

    The I'm-pretending-this-is-part-of-my-protest going along with it is better than The Titanic.

    Please love yourself.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Can’t think of a better tactic to get China to stop opening new coal plants every week.

                    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                              Sent down for throwing soup? Judge Hehir turns state repression into an art form
                              Press, Uncategorized / September 27, 2024
                              Two Just Stop Oil supporters who threw tomato soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers have been sentenced to prison terms of up to 2 years by Judge Christopher Hehir at Southwark Crown Court today. [1]

                              Phoebe Plummer was jailed for 2 years for the soup throwing plus 3 months for a S7 offence, while Anna Holland received a prison sentence of 20 months. They are also subject to 3 year Criminal Behaviour Orders and are expected to serve at least half of their sentences in custody.

                              In July, Phoebe and Anna were found guilty of causing criminal damage exceeding £5,000 after they threw tins of tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” painting at the National Gallery in October 2022, although the painting was protected by glass and was unharmed. Judge Hehir preemptively dismissed all legal defences—including the defence of ‘proportionality’ and their Article 10 rights under the Human Rights Act 1998—without hearing any evidence from either side. [2]

                              Seems to me that they got off easy.

                                As deterrents go, it doesn't seem to be working...

                                Activists throw soup on Van Gogh painting again

                                Just Stop Oil supporters have thrown soup over two Vincent van Gogh paintings, hours after two activists were given jail sentences for targeting one of the same works of art.

                                Three protesters threw an orange-coloured soup at Sunflowers 1888 and Sunflowers 1889 in the Poets and Lovers exhibition at the National Gallery in central London. They have been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

                                Earlier, Phoebe Plummer, 23, was given a two-year jail term, while Anna Holland, 22, got 20 months, for throwing soup over Sunflowers 1888 in October 2022.

                                The National Gallery said the two paintings targeted on Friday had been removed for examination and were found to be undamaged.

                                I was only joking
