Why do sad little people like this exist? Piggybacking off the work of others who actually made an impact in order to make an impact for themselves.
bro these people would prob die if all oil vanished into thin air
put them against the wall and shoot them. These criminals deserve nothing else
What is going on in England with these children?! There was also an incident where they dumped milk all over the floor at a grocery store. Wasting food just as we are about to have food shortages. Stupid.
SECURITY
Camera man need to make camera out of paper…
Gotta start putting the art behind glass since the new "adults" are clearly still children.
Disgraceful behavior.
Issue at hand, climate change
Climate change activist ” how we gonna fix this“
“ I know let’s throw soup at a painting almost worth 40 million USD”
LOL Lock them up…
Disgrace !!!
A good paddling on their behinds. That would be a good solution
I hope they rot in prison.
Vandalism is not protesting. A protest that destroys and ruins things/property/physically hurts others is not a protest. It's a crime and they should get harsh punishment for it. They're old enough to do better than this without wasting food, and destroying someone's art. What the protestors are doing is worsening climate change.
WHERES THE SECURITY?!
I'm not a fan of art but in this situation, i choose art because ruining an old piece of painting is a crime. Some artists from the past drew these kind of paintings not only because they have a creative, colorful mind, but also some artist drew because they still can see some beauties in their perspective, in their society full of lies and injustice that they lived in.
Gen Z garbage/liberals. Go get yourselves a job, and stop doing ignorant s**t, such as this. And while you're at it, figure out if you're both a female, or male, because even I can't tell for sure. Weirdos.
Look at their eyes. They just cant waut to get viral.
Their names are Anna Holland from Newcastle and Phoebe Plummer from Lambeth, art community you know what to do
Should say climate terrorists.
They deserve a beating.
They should be shot.
Those two idiots ruined a piece of art
Yes, let's ruin the art of an artist known for being plagued emotionally and financially throughout his life and art was his only outlet. Because that sends a message…or something…
Modern activism means nothing anymore since the messages get lost in a pit of stupidity.
Climate Activists = Religious Cult. Goddess Mother Earth! Humans are evil! Yada Yada Yada…
Fucking liberals

O THAT INCLUDES YOUR PHONES TO.MAYBE IF THE WORLD LISTENED TO REAL SCIENTISTS NOT SUPPORTED ON GRANT'S FROM GOVERNMENT. YOU MIGHT PULL YOUR HEADS OUT YOUR ASS.

Full support for these two brave girls. This world is so hypocritical that it defies all common sense. Otherwise, they spilled soup on the work of a man who was starving while creating it and now it costs 75 million dollars just so that bourgeois can have fun,think about it. We live in a world where one soccer player gets a hundred million to kick a ball and every day hundreds of people die of hunger. Every fucking day! Hospitals ask for a million dollars to operate on a dying child. Wars are made so that someone who is already a billionaire can earn billions more, while the poorest die because of arms sales or geostrategic positions.This society is deeply sick and this is one way to show it, think about it while you shed tears over tempera and canvas.
Just doesn't make sense at all. After that they ride a bus or car going home or even bicycle uses oil for the chain. If they show me they ride a horse I would believe just a little bit that they care for the environment. Still doesn't make sense for doing that. Hahahaha
Useless and jobless people who thinks they are doing greater good for the world by absolutely doing nothing.
You can clearly see these two and know immediately they're mentally unstable even without their act. Also of they really want to do something about the environment they should protest like this in China and see how far that gets them. These politicians are doing this climate project which in return is hurting millions of American citizens, yet China isn't doing a damn thing about their pollution!!
A dozen reporters just happened to be there. …
You know what does my head in
Entitled immature brats
They claim to want to bring change yet they failed so badly
They didn't get people on their side
They wasted food which is the whole point of the act
They probably used fuel to get there
They hair coloured hair which is all oil based
They do not come across as a leader
They don't have the confidence or look to pull it off.
What they need is a icon that fits the bill so people look at that person and are impressed
They seemed to me overally sensitive and not sure what to do with their emotions
But they do have a point the living crisis is something that needs to be tackled but in the right well thought out strategy by someone that has the aesthetic appeal
People are more inclined to listen to someone that has a great background regarding protest and what's right
People say this needs to happen because it has been effective but as a nation we really have grown from that era
So I would like to believe anyway
In no way am I trying to silence them but come one this was a complete shambles from the start
All they done was upset people. Turned them against themselves, got a criminal record and paid a hefty fine of 5000 pound
The point was the only good thing about this. I just with executed this properly.
Complete waste of time
This is what happens when the MSM uses propaganda instead of real science. And has Greta Stromberg as their PhD Earth Science roll model.
This is the woke LBGTUFMSW#*^V! wackos. F em
Thank you. Van Gogh will now cut his other ear off.
Leave them there, turn off the lights and close the door and go home. STUPIDITY AT ITS BEST
They should be beaten repetitively and repeatedly
This isn’t news. There isn’t any explanation of the context. The activists want to stop the government from developing oil and gas infrastructure in the North Sea. The painting was behind glass. The news needs to convey this.
That's likely a replica. They're not stupid to hang the original painting on the wall.
