They removed jackets to reveal Just Stop Oil T-shirts before gluing themselves to the wall beneath the artwork, which is one of the gallery’s most important treasures.

“What is worth more, art or life?” said one of the activists. “Is it worth more than food? More than justice? Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?

“The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis, fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold, hungry families. They can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup.”

disgusting behavior

destroying art to do headline is ridiculous 

[shookspeare]

activists are mostly insufferable and this is no exception, send them to the gulag

[Smarticle]

The art is more important than them

[nathanspears]

Posh people causing problems for low paid working people to try and get their 2 minutes of attention 

 

I fully support activism on climate change and oil usage but this is NOT the way to do it

[Saintlor]

Can this be cleaned/repaired? Or is it ruined?

[DonSiblon]

They are the new Van Gogh, free them!
