"No New Oil" Protesters

[bitchstewie]

Apologies if there's already a thread but I couldn't spot it.

'I don't want to hear a word of what you've got to say!' Ranting Just Stop oil eco-zealots are silenced by hero gallery worker who orders them to 'get off our paintings and get out' as they glue themselves to THIRD artwork in latest stunt

Vandalising an art gallery FFS.

The state of it.

I might not agree with them gluing themselves to the road outside an oil refinery but at least I get the link.

What on earth do they hope to achieve with that kind of criminality?

[Miserablegit]

Publicity….that’s what they get.

[gruffalo]

What a great example of how to bring a campaign into disrepute!

I actually thought it was pretty sensitive. They're glued to the frame and the artwork is untouched. Many a painting has had paint thrown over it for no great cause.

Is it an oil painting?

Can’t we just ship these types to Rwanda and let the migrants take their place I’m sure they would make a greater contribution to our country..

You’ve got my vote

“No new oil”?

I thought all of that sort of oil was old anyway?

Confused

[FiF]

My question is whether these protestors are ever required to pay the cost, the full cost, of repairing any damage and cleaning up after their protests.

Their fines, linked somewhat to income appreciate that, but the cost of restoring the frame of an old master's painting, not going to be a few quid for a bit of filler and a rattle can of goldfish coloured spray paint from B and Q is it.

The full cost should be imposed, if they can't pay, court action to recover what is owed, and if they even don't have goods to the value bankrupt them. Essentially just screw up their lives.

Freedom to protest is one thing, deliberate damage is something else.

That doesn't happen if someone mindlessly keys cars or smashes your shopfront. Why do you think it would happen here?

In those cases, the criminals have normally fled the scene of the crime... a bit more difficult when you're still attached

[Johnnytheboy]

I'd kind of rather they were in an art gallery than the middle of the bloody road.

Sad, but true. Neighbour had their car keyed on every panel, effectively writing it off. Culprit got a fine.

What did you expect to happen when the people who pulled a statue down were supported by the useful idiots on here and let off in court. There were some of us who pointed out at the time that as you say actions have consequences but we were dismissed as wacists or something. Welcome to the brave new world you have been cheering on for years...

[808 Estate]

Why doesnt the gallery just bring one of those mobile screens in and remove them from view. Protest over job done.

Indeed, the U.K. needs a far more robust reaction to protesters that deliberately cause damage to public property. Far to much pandering and nannying by our police who have their hands handcuffed by softly softly legislation.

The Police can arrest people if they think they've committed an offence.

Otherwise how did the people in Bristol end up arrested charged and in court?

Why did the two people in this article get arrested?

Stop being so reactionary

‘If they think they have committed a crime’ well that’s the whole point of the debate, what is a crime? Is it a crime stopping people going about their daily lives for example, the deliberate obstruction of access to services, is that a crime. These are the very questions that require answers, we know of the outcomes from earlier criminal damage by protesters.
Sadly our police are not allowed to use the tactics of operations from the French police in dealing with morons gluing themselves to roads for example.

Given the one on the left is the guy who cable-tied himself to goalposts in a previous protest, then clearly the sentences are not acting as a deterrent.
