"Coloured cornflour which will wash off when it rains, get a grip" It's not necessarily what people use, it's the act itself. Vandalism is still vandalism whether you use whipped cream or ronseal... | |||

"Coloured cornflour which will wash off when it rains, get a grip" The paint may wash off but the effects of their actions won't and as a result of this there will be tighter security and our liberties are encroached on further. People complain that there is a lack of freedom in this country and that everything we do is monitored and scrutinised, well you can thank moronic acts like this for that. Their actions did nothing to further their cause of stopping the use of oil, what could they possibly have hoped to achieve by attacking a monument that has about as little to do with oil as is humanly possible. The only grip I'd like to get here is around their throats. | |||

"Coloured cornflour which will wash off when it rains, get a grip" Besides the point. This ridiculous act of petty, pointless vandalism was carried out two days before one of the most iconic festival of the year for Stonehenge. Would you condone them spraying Canterbury Cathedral two days before Easter or Westminster Abbey two days before a royal wedding? It may take weeks of heavy rain to get rid of this mess. I'm guessing it will take a lot of hard work at great expense to get this monument cleaned up. I hope these two morons have to pay the bill. | |||

"Coloured cornflour which will wash off when it rains, get a grip" Not quite, it may well have damaged ancient lichen on the stones and, the stone being porous they may not get all the orange off it, so permanent damage could have been done by these morons. What makes them so stupid is that, ok they get a bit of publicity but it is counter productive. The story is now their stupidity, not climate change. | |||

"To be fair the people that actually care about things like stonehenge are usually people that care about the environment. Why haven't JSO actually vandalised/stopped something that the rich and greedy care about apart from spraying jet planes to looked like easyjets" Excellent point. It's a world heritage site and no oil was used in its construction as far as we know. The only people they are going to upset are the custodians of the site, the countless thousands of visitors and, at this particular time of year, the Druids/sun-worshippers/New Age Religion followers etc who congregate there for their most important festival. Not going to have the slightest effect on the oil companies. Just like spraying similar orange stuff over snooker tables during an important tournament, or gluing themselves to roads which just frustrates people and could even cause deaths if the emergency services cannot get through. | |||
