Climate activists spray UK ministry with fake blood
Members of the environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion yesterday used a decommissioned fire engine to spray fake blood over the front of Britain’s finance ministry in London. Protesters, who sprayed 1,800 litres of the fake blood outside the Treasury, also held up banners at the site demanding Britain “stop funding climate death”. Extinction Rebellion said it staged the protest to show “the inconsistency between the UK government’s insistence that the UK is a world leader in tackling climate breakdown, and the vast sums it pours into fossil fuel exploration and carbon-intensive projects”. London’s Metropolitan Police said four people -- three men and one woman -- were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage following the incident.
