Just stop Oil activists spray orange paint on MI5, Bank of England and News Corp
Just Stop Oil activists sprayed orange paint on the Bank of England building in London

JUST Stop Oil activists launched a series of co-ordinated actions against buildings used by MI5, the Home Office, the Bank of England and Ruper Murdoch’s News Corp today.

The climate activist group said it targeted the buildings across central London because they “represent the pillars that support and maintain the power of the fossil fuel economy.”

Activists sprayed orange paint using fire extinguishers, a common protest tactic used by the group in recent weeks.
