"Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil"
For years the archaological world, in the face of much resistance, has kept toursits at a distance from the momuments to protect the surfaces of the stone from degrading. And then this bunch of loonies shows up. To cowardly to target the ones they really hate.....
"Mike Pitts, archaeologist and author of How to Build Stonehenge, said the impact of the action was "potentially quite concerning".
He said: “The monument has been fenced off for decades and the megaliths' surfaces are protected.
"They are sensitive and they are completely covered in prehistoric markings which remain to be fully studied and any surface damage to the stones is hugely concerning"

The loonies on twitter:
"Failure to commit to defending our communities will mean Just Stop Oil supporters, along with citizens from Austria, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland will join in resistance this summer, if their own Governments do not take meaningful action. Stone circles can be found in every part of Europe showing how we’ve always cooperated across vast distances – we’re building on that legacy.”"
