These lackwits are too old for a Darwin award, unfortunately.
Just Stop Oil hit a new low today as two of their supporters defaced Charles Darwin’s grave in Westminster Abbey.
Worshippers and tourists watched on as Alyson Lee, 66, and Di Bligh, 77, began spray painting the marble memorial at 10am with a message reading ‘1.5 is dead’.
The zealots delivered a brief lecture to onlookers about how Darwin – the founder of evolutionary biology – would be ‘turning in his grave’ before police led them away.
I’m sure he is turning in his grave, but not for the reason these two cultists think. Hopefully, they will receive hefty jail sentences, and we will see the usual handwringing about them having to endure the consequent suffering.
The other activist said: ‘We’ve done this because there’s no hope for the world, really.
I recall nutters with sandwich boards proclaiming ‘the end is nigh’ to anyone who would listen. This is no different. Just with added vandalism.

Evidence that education and stupidity are not mutually exclusive.
They don’t even have the excuse that they were brainwashed at school.
Do you remember the sandwich board man at Oxford Circus? I think he was ahead of his time and these two old biddies are his disciples.

Why did none of the bystanders intervene ? Why stand by and watch as a National monument is vandalised.
Until the general public start taking action these bastards will keep on doing it. I know it is said that Plod will then come after you, but it will be worth it to get good swing at the shits.
Maybe they were worried that they would be arrested.
They would have been.
When these idiots were blocking the roads, when the police were protecting them rather than arresting them, it occurred to me that the motorists needed to pile on en mass. The police wouldn’t have taken action when hopelessly outnumbered, the JSO pillocks could have been given a well deserved kicking and then everyone could have got on with their day.
“Worshippers and tourists watched…”
I would not have watched…
“there’s no hope for the world, really.”
If you truly believe that, what is the purpose of your protest? What do you hope to achieve?
One thing about younger people who believe in all this doomsday rubbish is that they will hopefully live long enough to see that they’ve been had. Then hopefully they will grow to have a deep distrust of governments and their minions.
Just another pair of selfish, middle class twats who think they have the right to push their bullshit beliefs onto to the rest of us. Neither of these fuckwits has an idea about the problems that working class people face. Problems made even worse by these dickheads causing disruption at every opportunity.

The University of East Anglia is the home of the Climate Research Unit that was exposed as being laughably incompetent by the release of the Climategate emails.
Plus crap education in a nothingless set of degrees. FFS if it ain’t STEM it is worthless.
