@@adam2403 You’re quite wrong. When a campaign resorts to media attention grabbing its failing to make a rational case based on the science. In the pandemic vested interests pumped vast sums into supporting a narrative of vaccination as the solution to the virus. Subsequent vaccines haven’t halted the infection as have other traditional vaccines for their associated viruses. The XR narrative is fear based, as was the pandemics, which should raise questions on why they consider this as their only option. Vast financial resources have been pumped into renewables with the oil sector seeing better profits in it. When companies see increased profitability they move to increase shareholder dividends. It’s irrational to think that oil is about to be dumped or its extraction about to cease when it is a fuel and its byproducts are part of everyday life. Simplistic thinking excludes the vast benefits oils byproducts have given society. Solutions need to encompass this breadth not just fuel. An electric vehicle contains a multitude of plastic components, from oil. Solve that one and stopping the extraction of oil can be a rational argument.
@@brynleytalbot778 well, go politely argue the science then, as many people have done for many decades, and... oh, wait, that didn't do anything at all. Not a damn thing. Let me know when capitalists start abiding by the science without being forced to by having their social licence removed, as these Just Stop Oil protestors are working to do. If you come at this from a profit-driven capitalist perspective, you have a deep, deep misunderstanding of the crisis, of how f**ked we are, and the cause. Emissions have gone up, year after year.

L take
There are many ‘working class’ among them. See you there.
So you're celebrating these prissy, spoiled, bourgeois twits? Anyone who loves art and culture, regardless of income, should be disgusted by their defacing of artwork that they could never hope to duplicate, much less surpass. And can we talk about the toxicity of the solvents that were used to clean off the paint? How much of that made it into the Thames?
Better than blocking roads
Go for it
^^^^ this ^^^^
Yeah 👍
Go’ed just stop oil, these corporations need stopping.
But, won’t it just be poor people who have to clean it up?
The most ironic thing is that they probably use oil and will have to use oil if they own a car because a car needs oil. Also in crude oil there is gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and a lot more.
Anyone noticed that a large majority of these JSO Klaus Schwab activists are gingers?
I think Tufton Street is my favourite! Spaffing like a champ that chap 👍😬
He Spaffed the Orange right up that Wall he did.
Oh yeah!!! 😆
55 Tufton Street, home to the corrupt Tory enablers, lobbying for the benefit of truly wealthy people. The Tax Alliance are based there, not for the benefit of regular, working tax payers, oh no, they devise and plan strategies to support the growing tax avoidance schemes by greedy Tory party funders.
They plot to transfer money from the many poor, up to the very few wealthy elite.
New Scotland Yard a close second
@@fuckbankers Ah, The Met Police, they are deserving of their own, “special measures full-on protest” for being truly corrupt criminal cops. Cattle slurry being the most apt for the inept and shady enforcement of cop feeling & ego “laws” - that they make up and are too arrogant to accept valid challenges on.
Charing Cross should be a prime location for the special slurry spray!
You should be ashamed of yourself for destroying the beautiful architecture of the buildings made by the hard toil of the workers. What the hell have you done in life?
If they won the lottery they would be booking their holidays rather than protesting.With people starving in the UK they think it's ok to throw 2x Heinz Tomato soup cans on a painting - yes they are people of deep conscience.
The soup was out of date.
rich people are finished
That is what they should be doing, pissing off rich people, not normal people and dying people in ambulances.
When did that happen? Do you have a source for that claim?
@@andrina118 now it's happened already in UK
Vandalism is vandalism, they protest oil , but promote vandalism? Disgusting!
Legends
Knowing they'll be arrested, potentially attacked by the public, named and shamed all over the internet, future employment affected. But they do it anyway. Massive respect
Yh I can dig this shit but stopping people going work and blocking roads no
Absolutely agree. Biko, Hani, Mandela, Mbeki were all given similar treatment under apartheid South African laws. The protestors are the superheroes that the majority can only find in film or pop culture, vicariously and imaginatively.
being arrested is a choice here and not a smart one
nothing legendary about defacing a van gogh painting
@@shutup2751 they're doing what they feel they must do, despite so many people being against them, which deserves huge respect whether you agree with them or not
Who cares about a van Gogh painting, it's just some flowers
Its inspiring to see people standing up for their beliefs, and trying to improve the world. Good on them.
When I was a kid I remember my neighbour and a few others were murdered by a work colleague bc the guy thought they were making fun of him and he came in one day and shot 4 people dead. I now realise that the murderer was standing up for his beliefs and should have been applauded for his actions. Thanks for this insight.
I'm all for freedom of expression and right to protest but I'm totally against destruction of property.
The Mahatma Gandhi would have never done such a thing never the less his message was one of the loudest and so does Martin Luther king Jr and many others.
@@galenvanbrok um, yeah, your analogy doesn't work because that guy you're talking about had mental problems and killed innocent people, whereas these climate protests are trying to raise awareness to stop humanity killing itself by polluting the world.
@@berserkirclaws107 the Suffragettes destroyed quite a lot of property, so did Wat Tyler's followers. There's arguments for & against both approaches.
Nevertheless, these people are damaging very little property, all they're doing is spraying tomato soup. Good quality soup with few unknown ingredients. Damage is limited to stains on matt paint, all the other surfaces they're covering are very easily cleaned.
Spectacular but non-damaging.

These eco loon’s will go away if they don’t get an audience. Ask them how will they eat themselves if no lorries deliver to wherever they last ate? Likely the items they are wearing and using had oil at some stage of it’s making. Why are the police being nice when arresting people?
These THUGS are CRIMINALS who need to be FLOGGED, fined 10k and thrown into prison for 5 years!
Why who did they attack?
@@keldsleepnot7961 The ILLEGALLY block roads, and have caused DEATHS from crashes and people not able to get to hospitals. They should be charged with MANSLAUGHTER!
Start with the politicians
ok I'm not a fan of what these people are protesting against but may I ask what Van Gough did to help big oil?
Well done to them for being so brave and sticking up for what's right, even if that means being arrested or ridiculed by the rich mans puppets
being arrested is their choice because they think it looks better and they get to make a dramatic speech. it's smarter to protect your freedom and use anonymous communiques
Why bother spraying paint all over the rich people's buildings? They're only going to pay peasants like the people doing it to clean it off.
03:03 "help im being forced to hear the truth 😱"
lmao
Police man is corect for aresting the women for vandalisam. They should be made to clean it up.
"Just Stop Oil pissing off rich people" naw bro they just pissing off everyone
Then they go home to mommy and Daddy in their GAS heated homes and get driven to College in DIESAL filled cars ! Vandalism like this should be paid for ...their Actions ...their Bill !
These people need to get a job
I f'ing love these people. They are on the right side of history.
But they spray a lot of plastic-based orange paint into the environment 🤷♂️
@@simonbeech6073 It’s not plastic based!
@@simonbeech6073 I suppose you have a trusted source for this claim
Me too. They're fighting as are extinction rebellion for good of animals wildlife environment and all the people across the globe. Those who have been shafting everyone for so long in a pretence of democracy need taking down a peg! ✌

Piss of as many rich people as you want, but I don't see what precious art pieces in public musea has anything to do with that.
Cool nice one, you know it's the taxpayer who picks up the bill for that and I don't know if you'd noticed but they care what we think just about as much as they care about what you think, so I don't know how this is supposed to help anyone? Unless it's denting thier bank accounts they don't care, I don't really see how this is helping.
Publicity
@@PP237PP yeah but painting a bad picture to most, surely this will be detrimental to the cause, just negative association everytime it comes up.

@@brynleytalbot778 love you
Lol they’re rich upper class themselves what do you expect no jobs no concern for those going about their business in vehicles
The only thing that I find surprising is that not more people are prepared to stand up for our future before it is too late.
Majority of people don't see any future that is why.
@@MegaKapo12 That is a certainty true unless people stand up to what is going on.
This poem sums things up perfectly:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
We need to realise we are being persecuted group by group and eventually they will come for everyone and take away your rights. So let's not wait until they come for us, now is the perfect time to stand up and be counted.
the earth can survive anything , just humans won't.
Yeh, that’s because the MMM has convinced MST people that a) climate change (might) not be true. B) that protest is no longer a valid form of democracy. 😩😔😔😔
Yes throwing stuff at paintings and waxworks sure is heroic
All of those in support of these protesters, I suggest you all stop driving your cars, getting on buses etc and walk everywhere, otherwise you are just hypocrites.
Heroes. Charles should get pied everyday.
Yeah instead the cunt gets paid
And his mrs
Those two women at the start look like they don’t know what planet they’re on
Im not rich and I hate this. They should go to jail for this and they do more bad than good.
They are not fucking around, no more just marching and slogans.
They're also pissing off ordinary people, it ain't cars that's hurting the environment, its many other things...
They're finding many other things to do. The refinement of the protest will be effective.
_I don't agree with vandalism to try to prove a point. I think it makes people less likely to support a cause._
Behind the spraying of 55 Hereford, Bentley, Ferrari etc.
But leave Van Gogh alone please.
Lol rich people are the ones backing this movement
At least they are doing something and standing up for what they believe in. To all the people out out there sitting in their suburban utopias, complaining about the state of society and the world on well fed fat arses take note. You should be supporting people willing to stand up for their beliefs because one day you may have to as as well and by that time your protest rights will have been removed.
and no body gives a fuck about your comment since nobody comment over an year you might be dead by then!
You mean Tamara and Tarquin are now going to blockade the driveways to their Mummy and Daddy's lavish estates?
Give me a break. They are the rich. Do you think ordinary people who are struggling to get on with their lives during these times have time to throw temper tantrums in the street?
I admire these people, good for them. When I was younger and fitter, I hope I would have been as courageous.
walking down the street with a fire extinguisher, slapping a statue with a pie or tipping out a tin of soup requires youth or fitness?
Okay, whatever you say.
@@alanhat5252 I take it you are thick, hard to cure that. We don't all live in a large city, the effort and cost, is in getting somewhere it will be noticed.
Honestly, we younger fitter folk could do with a few of the older, retired generation getting involved. What's gonna happen? You'll lose your job and fail to support your wife and kids? Unlikely...
all these vandals should be arrested nd kept in jail until they grow up...so like forever
How are the police or the national gallery rich? They're publicly funded organisations...
Yeah, that's the right question. You are a very astute individual.
The National Gallery has repeatedly taken funding from oil companies. They are protesting the police because protestors are being held without due process and our government is trying to pass new laws to tag protestors before they've even been charged.
0:03 You're not attacking people in power, you're mocking a masterpiece of art painted by a man who used oil paint to relieve himself from the pain and ostricisation he recieved from his community.
People with pink,green or blue hair always and I do mean always look like they need jet washing and Brillo padding
Pissing off rich people? You mean causing criminal damage and breaking the law.
Oweeee. Did the nasty protestors upset you ? Diddums.
@@nevertrustatory no. I'm making the very clear point that this kind of action is breaking the law. It's disgraceful behaviour.
@@stuartlewis8954 Bless you, I understand the law (very well), but current law won’t criminalize corporate greed until planet Earth is a scorched bit of uninhabited rock, floating round in space.

Got any better ideas ?
Nice to chat, but need to nip out for some orange paint.
Art is worth more than their lives for sure!
Problem is they are pissing off poor people too.
bad move.
It's the fault of the politicians. Go after the politicians and the parliament and spray that stuff on them.
They been Tango'ed 😆 🤣
This is whatbhappens when mace , OC, CS gas and tasers are out lawed for civilian use . Over here 🇺🇸 they would not have got away with it.
"Granddad, what did you do for the cause?" "I slapped a custard pie into into the face of a waxwork of the king"
Guillotines! Guillotines!! GUILLOTINES!!!!
For those wondering they are also calling for no new gas and oil licenses (recently 130+ approved), working toward insulating all British homes, and cheaper / more affordable public transport
Also believe it or not but there have been *no* recorded instances of XR, IB, and JSO's strictly non-violent actions and "blocks" causing any deaths (in the past 4+ years)
They also all have a "Blue Light" policy which basically means people move for ambulances and firefighters heading to emergencies
What? The purpose is to protect the rich with reversed psychology. Look at the ones in the video You know who they're related too?
We need more oil and gas so energy prices come down. They don't care about affordibility at all.
@@beboshi69 Real affordability comes from investing in the energy source that produces the same GwH yields for a tenth of the price of coal and a quarter of gas: solar and wind.
Don't be a donkey, we're doing this for the future of the working class
@@beboshi69 Having a future > Illusion of infinite "growth"
@@ytpanda398 You’re doing this to support the middle classes not the working classes. Jobs in high tech sectors for graduates where the working classes are lowly bolt tighteners on low pay. It’s crass hypocrisy which I hope others are finally seeing as these ridiculous protests expose the narcissistic altruism of those inflicting then.
100% part of the democratic process. The right to protest. Private property, and any vandalism against said property, is the problem of the owner, not of the public. Any legislation to curtail protest in favour of the property owners is, by definition, illegitimate.
Why is it justifiable to prosecute someone who maybe sprays tomato soup over a Saudi diplomats private home, meanwhile they are free to literally _murder_ people all over the world in order to protect their profits? Answer: it isn't.
When protesters start throwing soup and cake you know they mean business.
Then protest about the poor and food being unaffordable. I’m sure the Salvation Army would have such resources to better use.
@@brynleytalbot778 You've commented to a few replies on this video. You're pointing at tiny drops of water, and using them to defend/misdirect from vast oceans of wrongdoing on behalf of your capitalist masters. Your replies read like Daily Mail headlines. You have peasant brain. Go learn something.
@@adam2403 You’re quite wrong. When a campaign resorts to media attention grabbing its failing to make a rational case based on the science. In the pandemic vested interests pumped vast sums into supporting a narrative of vaccination as the solution to the virus. Subsequent vaccines haven’t halted the infection as have other traditional vaccines for their associated viruses. The XR narrative is fear based, as was the pandemics, which should raise questions on why they consider this as their only option. Vast financial resources have been pumped into renewables with the oil sector seeing better profits in it. When companies see increased profitability they move to increase shareholder dividends. It’s irrational to think that oil is about to be dumped or its extraction about to cease when it is a fuel and its byproducts are part of everyday life. Simplistic thinking excludes the vast benefits oils byproducts have given society. Solutions need to encompass this breadth not just fuel. An electric vehicle contains a multitude of plastic components, from oil. Solve that one and stopping the extraction of oil can be a rational argument.
@@brynleytalbot778 well, go politely argue the science then, as many people have done for many decades, and... oh, wait, that didn't do anything at all. Not a damn thing.
Let me know when capitalists start abiding by the science without being forced to by having their social licence removed, as these Just Stop Oil protestors are working to do. If you come at this from a profit-driven capitalist perspective, you have a deep, deep misunderstanding of the crisis, of how f**ked we are, and the cause. Emissions have gone up, year after year. They aren't going down. This is desperate, and the protestors are very right.
Like I said, go learn. I'm not here to teach.
*imagine if the first one was real*
Greetings from an ex-environmentalist. I've been a campaigner for green issues for over 50 years - now I'm out. These people are an embarrassment to me. Shame on them!
