These people are nuts
???? SUFFRAGETTE PAINTING SMASHED
???? Our government have revealed plans for MORE oil licences, knowing it will kill millions. In response, two supporters of Just Stop Oil smashed the Rokeby Venus — slashed by Mary Richardson in 1914.

So, what, exactly, does damaging a painting like this have to do with anything? It’s also fantastic that pretty much everything they’re wearing is made with petroleum. And the effeminate guy’s NWA hat? Good grief.
(BBC) The Met Police said two activists had been arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.
Following the latest incident, Just Stop Oil (JSO) said: “Women did not get the vote by voting, it is time for deeds not words. It is time to Just Stop Oil.
“Politics is failing us. It failed women in 1914 and it is failing us now. New oil and gas will kill millions. If we love art, if we love life, if we love our families we must Just Stop Oil.”
OK, make your own clothes. Stop using smartphones. That hammer? Made with plastics, meaning petroleum.
Selfish stunts by Just Stop Oil activists have already cost the taxpayer an estimated £40million, new analysis today reveals.
Hundreds of the eco-zealots were arrested in London this week as JSO ramped-up their autumn action and dozens have since been charged.
Analysis now shows how much the group has estimated to have cost the hard-up taxpayer since they formed in February last year.
And it will keep happening as long as the nuts are allowed to operate. Throw a few in jail. Give them a huge number of hours for community service, and make them dirty jobs.
That the government has not instituted harsh punishment is proof that our civilization is collapsing.
Quite. Defacing a statue should be a 10 year sentence followed by deportation.
I suggest the Brits go back to drawing and quartering, after which the head is put on a spike and displayed for a decade or two, just like they did with Oliver Cromwell.
I think that would put an end to it.
Alas! Oliver Cromwell was already three years in his grave when they dug him up for a post-mortem execution. At least they removed his body from a place of honor in Westminster Abbey, and threw most of it — minus his head — into a pit.
The correct name is
The Toilet of Venus
The painting itself wasn’t damaged
It was more of a symbolic attack done on the same painting that a woman slashed while demanding the right to vote
Something conservatives refused to give them
Do your parents know that you are using their computer? OK, I GUESS it’s possible a toddler has her own computer…
Why do the plods wait until the damage is done to step in and arrest the perps?
Let them demonstrate an oil-free lifestyle, AND demonstrate a “Climate Change!” model that mirrors reality and I’ll I’ll think about taking thee clowns seriously.
Won’t be holding my breath.
so as usual you side with the most depraved people in society damaging and destroying our heritage way to go asshole.
Now can you give me some actual historical evidence about your claims about conservatives refusing to give women the right to vote? Because you see I would doubt that since it was the conservatives i.e. Christians that fought against slavery fought against Jim Crow fought against all your regulations to exclude black people. In reality it was the Democrats and still is the Democrats who destroyed freedom and who hate America. Just. Like. You.
These clowns need to be shown that if they think it’s OK to use violence against others in pursuit of their cause, then it’s also OK to use violence against them by people opposed to their cause… or merely uninterested in it.
