Spoof ads of Sunak shaking oil-soaked hand appear across London
A spoof ad of Sunak shaking oil-soaked hand [Fossil Free London]

PARODY adverts mocking Rishi Sunak for giving public money to oil giants have appeared across London’s bus stops.

The Prime Minister is shown shaking an oil-soaked hand next to a Conservative logo with the words: “A helping hand for those in need: £3.75 billion public money to oil company Equinor if Rosebank oil field goes ahead.”

The spoof ads have been spotted in Hackney, Southwark and Tower Hamlets so far, and come after Fossil Free London campaigners last week delivered giant gifts to the Norwegian embassy to represent the £3.75bn tax breaks developers of the North Sea’s Rosebank field could receive.
