  1. Haven’t read the article. Is water also banned? As we’re always carrying some water with us when we’re out and about, never know when you get dizzy. If they banned water in clear bottles that’s just stupid.

  2. Unless they’re searching people this won’t mean anything. Fairly sure that we can hide a tin of soup pretty easily if we have nefarious ideas.

  3. Ah yes. Punish the entire country for the actions of a few radical miscreants. That old chestnut.

  4. There’s no doubt that the actions of Rumbelo Biggleworth-Smithe and Sebastian Octavius Throckmorton-Fitzwilliam will win over the general public and help further their environmental goals.

  5. I loved being able to walk in and watch a few paintings and walk out without any hindrance.
    Last time I had to queue in the rain to enter…now with these checks it will even get worse.
    Small joy lost

  6. What was the end game goal? Do they really think doing things like this is going to win people over?

    If you are going to go after oil companies go after them directly.

  7. So some spoilt brats have ruined it for the rest of us. Just Stop Oil is the lowest IQ group I’ve ever seen.

  8. Meanwhile our new Labour government are refusing to reinstate the Fuel Price Escalator, while cutting active travel & public transport subsidies like the bus fare cap.

    Don’t agree with many of JSO’S actions but even now the politicians still refuse to institute the change needed.

  9. Nigel should have probably called Reform ‘Just Stop Immigration’. It’s very effective. 😂

  10. If you’re walking into an art gallery carrying tins of soup, it’s already pretty sus. Unless you’re Andy Warhol and you’ve come back from the dead

  11. I can’t see that actually working given how unthorough the bag searches usually are.

  12. I really don’t get Just stop oil.

    The supporters of the movement are generally young, middle class, and left wing. The demographic they don’t have to convince about climate change. I fear they’re further turning away those most opposed to climate policies.

    They’re politicising something (the climate crisis) that shouldn’t be political and making it part of the culture war. I know people argue that it makes people talk about the climate crisis but does it? All I hear is how people hate Just stop oil as a group.

  13. This is why we can’t have nice things…

    These spoilt brats are so incompetent they’re incapable of making a point without destroying things made by better people.
