Eldorado Posted October 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2019 "Extinction Rebellion activists have sprayed the Treasury with gallons of fake blood in its latest climate change protest stunt. "Members of the group parked a fire engine outside the building on Horse Guards Road in Westminster before holding the hose to face the building and firing the red liquid at it. "The group said it had sprayed 1,800 litres of the fake blood, understood to be water coloured with beetroot juice or food dye, on Thursday morning." Full monty at the Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/03/extinction-rebellion-spray-fake-blood-treasury-building/ They also sprayed some guy filming the whole episode. lol 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsnotoutthere Posted April 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Every time they do some stunt like this, the authorities should send the bills for the cleanup or the bill for the police overtime to Roger Hallam (founder) & then promptly jail him when he refuses to pay, you know, like they do if you refuse to pay the tv licence.

It was - at best - disorderly conduct, if not a mini-riot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
