Just Stop Just Stop Oil! By Richard Miller (London)

Just Stop Oil is just up to its old attention-seeking tricks. It is like happenings from the 1960s, only much darker, and sinister. Blocking roads so that ambulances could not get dying people to emergency medical attention, wrecking private property with spray paint, and attempting to damage art works.

The latest tricks are to disrupt theatre performances, as was recently done in London’s West End. These protests cost tax payers millions. And the protesters, university Leftist types, seem to not be concerned abut legal fees. The reason? It is rumoured that the costs of their adventures are being paid for by a billionaire, not George Soros in this instance. It is hard to get concrete facts on this, so I will not drop the rumoured name. Yet it would seem as good strategy for the authorities having to deal with this civil disobedience to investigate the financiers of this, and see if there is a legal route to closing them down. The same applies to many antifa protests which seem linked to another globalist big money figure.

“Our contemptible middle-class climate loons have come back to bite.

Over the summer, Just Stop Oil frequently gripped headlines for their disruptive stunts, ranging from blocking roads (so ambulances couldn’t get to their desired destination), vandalising private and public buildings with orange spray paint, and even destroying a show garden at Chelsea Flower Show. I thought they’d quite like flowers given their express values but hey ho, brave new world and all that.

Now, they’ve got a new target: theatres. Last month, five activists bounded onto the stage at Sondheim Theatre in London’s West End during a Les Miserables performance wielding Just Stop Oil flags. Their intent, of course, was to warn of the apparent dire, dire crisis we find ourselves in. The crowd wasn’t best pleased. Boos bellowed as soon as they took the stage and the show subsequently came to an early halt when police arrived to arrest the activists.

Appearing at a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court this month, on charges of aggravated trespass, Judge Michael Snow told the five activists that the estimated cost of their little tantrum amounted to £80,000. The true cost is likely to be more, as that didn’t include the attendees’ travel costs. It doesn’t matter too much for the activists if they’re found liable though as the billionaire oil heiress that funds The Climate Emergency Fund (which funds Just Stop Oil) covers their expenses.

Recent analysis has found that the organisation cost the British taxpayer around £40 million since forming last February. This includes police costs like patrolling the streets during protests, making arrests, and dealing with activists once they are in custody. One of their most expensive stunts involved scaling the Dartford crossing, causing a two-day closure costing £5 million alone. This is just accounting for public expenses. Their cost impact on private business could be as severe.

At the time of the theatre protest, a Just Stop Oil spokesperson told the MailOnline: 

“This summer has shown us the sheer power of a supercharged climate. Scientists are freaking out and even the Pope is sounding the alarm. But, like the citizens of Paris in 1832, we have locked our doors, while our young face slaughter on the streets. They will inherit a scorched earth, unfit to live in and we will be long gone. We cannot let this stand. The show cannot go on.”

Given the immediacy with which they describe the crisis - which is echoed by that strange hobbit-like creature occupying the office of Secretary-General of the United Nations (António Guterres) - it is curious how the theatre protestors’ actions don’t really reflect it. One of them, Lydia Gribbin, genuinely asked Judge Snow if he could delay proceedings so she could travel to India for reasons unknown.

This only makes sense in actuality if Lydia doesn’t actually believe that we’re on the “highway to climate hell”. Why waste precious CO2 if it was the case...

Author of “There is No Climate Crisis” David Craig recently highlighted data to back this sentiment up. Turns out, there have been many cold temperature records set in 2023. All of which are magically unbeknown to the commentariat and indeed, Just Stop Oil:

As I wrote this morning, news broke that two Just Stop Oil vandals smashed a priceless, historic painting in the National Gallery with hammers earlier today. One of the activists involved was Hanan Ameur. The same activist that was involved in the £80,000 Sondheim Theatre protest. After vandalising the artwork, she shouted the following in the gallery:

“Women did not get the vote by voting. It is time for deeds, not words. It is time to just stop oil...”

Perhaps Hanan should make sure her jet-friendly pal Lydia heeds her warnings first before lecturing the public...

Forgive me, it might be an obvious point to make but if the actions of Just Oil Stop members do not reflect the gravity of the crisis they purport to want to solve, how can they expect the wider public to perceive them, and this “crisis”, for anything else than a pitiful attempt to control the behaviour of others. Behaviour, that the activists themselves are not willing to adopt.

Ironically, it appears the young, naive activists that enabled the organisation to obtain notoriety through their willingness to perform radical acts has actually been their undoing. Who would have thought they aren’t the most ideologically consistent bunch. What a dreadful, dreadful shame [insert wink emoji].”
