While U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticized Just Stop Oil protestors after they sprayed Stonehenge with rain-dissolvable orange cornflour powder the day before the Summer Solstice earlier this month his government is pressing on with a road tunnel that could alter the monuments ritual landscape for ever.
Hmmmmmmmmm. Where are all the outraged little industry apologists, that were so mad about the lil bit of easily removable paint, from the post last week.
If you want outrage, then reacting to Stonehenge being in danger from the construction of a road seems much more appropriate than from it getting dusted with colored corn starch.
Wait… could Just Stop Oil have done some 5D chess move here? Force Sunak to publicly claim he cares about Stonehenge just before the UNESCO report comes out?
We did it here. I spent years protesting and camping on-and-off when they tried to build the M3 motorway through the Hill of Tara, an ancient site with similarities to Stonehenge.
They will get what they deserve in the end.
Can’t steal other countries’ artifacts so ruining their own.
