Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022

Climate activists have thrown tomato soup over two Sunflowers paintings by Vincent van Gogh, just an hour after two others were jailed for a similar protest action in 2022.

Three supporters of Just Stop Oil walked into the National Gallery in London, where an exhibition of Van Gogh’s collected works is on display, at 2.30pm on Friday afternoon, and threw Heinz soup over Sunflowers 1889 and Sunflowers 1888.

The latter was the same work targeted by Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland in 2022. That pair are now among 25 supporters of Just Stop Oil in jail for climate protests.

      So delusional it’s actually the reality of the situation.

      Tell me, how many oil companies have stopped doing oil since these started throwing soup?

          Pretty sure “and others” is doing a lot of work here.

          And since we’re dropping the civil language; you can fuck right off, you art defiler worshipping cunt. Maybe there’s a warm spot in the jail cell next to these idiots.
