Two men and a female colleague have been cleared of all charges, following a protest against the fossil fuel industry as part of the "Just Stop Oil" campaign. They had sprayed some of the Stonehenge sarsens with an environmentally-friendly orange powder. They had denied all charges of damaging an ancient protected monument and causing a public nuisance, after targeting Stonehenge as part of an ongoing fossil fuel protest by the direct action group.
What a waste of public money! The trial lasted for 10 days. Well, good for the jury. The "public nuisance" was all down to the overreaction by Englishy Heritage, and the "damage" done to the stones was infinitisemally small, compared with the damage done each year from starling and other bird droppings.
Since this blog site is all about Stonehenge and climate change, I feel it is my duty to congratulate the protestors........
