CLIMATE activists blasted the judiciary for having “pie on their faces” today after protesters who covered a waxwork of King Charles in chocolate cake were found guilty.

Student Eilidh McFadden, from Glasgow, and decorator Tom Johnson, from Sunderland, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday over the Just Stop Oil action at Madame Tussauds in London on October 24 last year.

The protest sought to highlight demands for an immediate halt to the government issuing new licences or consents for the exploration and extraction of new fossil fuels.
