Six members of the environmental activist group Just Stop Oil used fire extinguishers to spray orange paints onto the Bank of England, the Home Office, the MI5 building, and the headquarters of News Corp at London Bridge. They chose the four key buildings, claiming that they “were chosen to represent the four pillars that support and maintain the power of the fossil fuel economy — government, security, finance, and media.”
“We are not prepared to stand by and watch while everything we love is destroyed, while vulnerable people go hungry, and fossil fuel companies and the rich profit from our misery. The era of fossil fuels should be long gone, but the creeping tentacles of fossil fuel interests continue to corrupt our politics, government, and media as they have for decades,” a Just Stop Oil spokesperson said.바카라 웹사이트
