Throwing soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, smearing cake on King Charles III’s waxwork, spray painting an array of luxury car dealerships — the Just Stop Oil demonstrations don’t look to be ending any time soon.

Describing themselves on their website as “a coalition of groups working together to ensure that the government commits to ending all new licences and consents for the exploration, development and production of fossil fuels in the UK”, Just Stop Oil have been making headlines across the globe for their recent demonstrations taking place across Britain and beyond.
The act of civil resistance that garnered the group many headlines and even more disgruntled feedback came earlier this month, when two young protesters threw cans of soup over Van Gogh’sPhoebe Plummer and Anna Holland arrived at the gallery in jackets under which their Just Stop Oil t-shirts were hidden until crunch time, ortime if you will. They opened up their cans of soup, splashed them across the 1887 still-life painting and glued their palms to the wall.
