Two Just Stop Oil supporters have painted multiple private jets on the airfield where Taylor Swift’s jet landed mere hours before. They are demanding that the incoming UK government commit to working with other governments to agree an equitable plan to end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030. [1] At
I didn’t say that I disagreed with their goals. I just understand that they did hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage to those jets that will make absolutely zero difference to their carbon footprint and will probably be held financially responsible. A big win for the activists for sure.
It’s apparently water soluable so the paint should come off easily. The expensive part is going to be cleaning the engines and external instruments if they need to be cleaned and reccalibrated or recertified. The courts have been handing out serious sentences running into the multiple years so they may have that coming as well.
Edit to add - I meant to add, and they’ll find a whole bunch of disaffected people ripe for recruiting to a direct action cause. But my ADHD brain forgot. :(
Wait until they find out how much it’s going to cost them to repaint the jets that they vandalized.
Damn, guess it’s better to let the environment collapse and our species to go extinct because capitalism and money is more important.

Damn I was literally going to make this exact comment but sarcastically because it’s stupid. Thank you for saving me the effort!
Oh no!
Anyway…
Who cares about that, the rich can foot the bill.
They will and they won’t care. It will do nothing to change anyone’s mind but will harden public opinion against the extremists.
Actually about 0$ because they always use stuff thats removable with water. Otherwise they would be bankrupt.
It looks like turmeric
Plus trespass at the airport plus cleaning and testing all of the external instrumentation plus…they can really stack it on.
Can’t squeeze blood from a stone. The cost to repaint those jets is going to be a lot more than they can ever recoup from the activists.

I’m not aware of any committed activist that was ever deterred by a prison sentence. But they are usually pretty poor so my original point stands.
Well at least they won’t have to worry about feeding, clothing, and housing themselves for a while.
Lol yeah
