    1. Definitely better than stone henge. Although, honestly – we’re all going to die from global warming and no one is doing anything serious about it. So I understand why they do it and have sympathy. It’s only paint.

      The target is high profile and is personally responsible for huge amounts of ecological damage. Plus it’s incredibly brave to risk the wrath of Swift’s deranged fan base.

      This makes much more sense to me than attacking artworks or monuments. 

    3. Good job idiots. That’s all they need to charge you under the Terrorism Act.

      Just waiting for the outrage on the front page of Mail and Express tomorrow along with a picture of an orange Taylor Swift looking like Trumps love child!

    5. I’m curious how they managed to get airside, as airports even small ones are usually pretty darn secure.

      Good. The carbon footprint of Taylor Swift and her tours etc is probably pretty considerable.

      On one hand, yes, this is the right way for this type of protest

      On the other, how the fuck did they get into an airport to do this?

      Today is a day I wish I owned a heavy duty security fencing firm, as that’s the only outcome that will happen here

    8. This is the PR equivalent of the Government announcing tax cuts right after a scandal.

      They know they fucked up with Stonehenge and trying to quickly regain support with some stunt that they think people will sympathise with.

      Prefer it to holding up working people on their way to work.

      But I wouldn’t fancy the criminal record they are about to get.

      Well Glastonbury festival is next week, loads of Private Jets and Helicopters going to be getting flying time. I imagine they will cause chaos there.
      Or maybe they won’t.

      Much more appropriate than what they have been targeting previously. They would actually have more supporters if this is what they done in the first place

    12. These people do not seem to be able to distinguish between a national treasure and a private jet.

      Pretty sure a lot, if not most, of these people do it because it is ‘fashionable’ rather than thinking it will actually achieve anything, because it sure as hell is not endearing them to the general public.

    13. Friendly usual reminder for JSO posts full of angry comments about how annoying they are. Thinking of the future when the very real and predictable consequences of our lack of action are vividly apparent. The fact that some people tried to highlight how absolutely, outrageously insane it is to do so pathetically little will seem quaint, and we likely will wonder why people didn’t do more.
