AN award-winning film director has promised to triple any financial donations made to the Just Stop Oil campaign as protesters completed their sixth week of regular slow marches through the heart of London.
Academy Award-winning writer, director and producer Adam McKay, of The Big Short, Anchorman and Don’t Look Up fame, launched the offer at 10am on Friday, and will last 48 hours until 10am on Sunday.
The offer follows a similar one made on Wednesday by green energy Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, who pledged to double any donations for a 48-hour period, raising £173,000.
