Starmer demands the full force of the law be used agaist people dousing Stonehenge in cornflour, but Israel shouldn't be pre-judged!
Right, so today is the summer solstice, or Midsummer if you prefer, the longest day of the year and a mecca for all sorts of colourful characters to descend on sites such as Stonehenge to celebrate, druids doing druidy things and the like if that is what floats your boat.
Yesterday however, Stonehenge got a visit of an entirely different sort, Just Stop Oil turned up for a paint themed protest, pelting the ancient monument stones with powdered paint, made from cornflour as part of their ongoing protest against the use of fossil fuels, to highlight the need to move to renewables now, protest is meant to draw attention, is meant to be disruptive in order to make it’s point. Now I prefer to use the stuff to thicken a stew myself, but if someone wants to use it in a protest then that is perfectly fine, it washes off after all, but to hear Keir Starmer opine on the protest groups actions, you’d think they’d gone to Stonehenge and committed some sort of blood sacrifice, he went full Trump on them, but when he still staunchly refuses to condemn Israel for 9 months of death and destruction in Gaza, with 37,000 innocent lives taken and counting, his comments over some powder paint have painted him, as some sort of sociopath.
Right, so Stonehenge, we all know it, ancient megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plains and is today swarming with people celebrating the Summer Solstice, as it has done for many years and somehow it has survived this each and every time. It has weathered the presence of druids and hippies alike, it has survived war, famine and the presence of accidentally released into the countryside, wild boar. It has stood for 5000 years and is still standing. Well, most of it is, but it is thousands of years old, give the place a break.
Now the protest group Just Stop Oil has become a bit of a favourite target for the media to attack, their penchant for using bright orange paint to draw attention to humanity inflicted climate change and the need to stop using fossil fuels is what drives them and they have certainly been effective at doing that, spray painting buildings associated with the fossil fuel lobby, roads, yesterday, they even sprayed Taylor Swift’s private jet with orange paint to make their point, but that wasn’t quite as newsworthy as painting Stonehenge apparently as this footage shows:
Now, you can agree or disagree with Just Stop Oil’s actions, I can’t say I do support everything they do insofar as the way they choose to protest, but I will defend their right to protest, because that is a human right and so often in the past it is only by protest has change effectively been delivered in this country. But in this instance I have no problem with them, because for one, they’ve clearly thought through this action before they did it and for two, this is hardly the first time Stonehenge has been used to effect protest.

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on / socialisttelly )
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
