🔥 JUST GETTING STARTED

Corrupt politicians serving billionaires. Ordinary people struggling to survive. Media shifting blame from their mates on mega yachts to the people in small boats.

Nothing short of a political and economic revolution will get us out of this mess: juststopoil.org/donate

I'm very concerned about all the #GlobalSumudFlotilla detainees, but especially Hannah Schafer, who seems likely to be held in extended detention in Israel. Israeli armed forces have committed grave and multiple breaches of international law in attacking the flotilla and mistreating its crew.

Sailing a boat with formula for starving babies.
Sitting with a sign.
Walking on the highway.
These are now acts of resistance.
Just Stop Oil recognises the common humanity of those opposing the harm and terror being planned and supported by the UK and the Israeli Governments.

After pouring latex over the Tesla robot, CPS were grasping at straws for "damage" after realising the latex was peeled off. So, they failed to provide any evidence in advance, and then insisted on a trial that cost the taxpayers somewhere between hundreds to thousands of pounds for £21 "damage".

FARCE IN COURT: Guilty of £21 "Damage" as CPS use Courts for Political Trial

In yet another instance of the British courts being a joke, yesterday the Tesla Two were found guilty of an amount less than the prosecution spent on coffee and lunch that day.

Cole and Jennifer are on trial in Chelmsford Crown Court today after taking action last year.

They painted multiple private jets on the airfield where Taylor Swift’s jet landed.

Their trial, in front of a jury of their peers, is expected to last at least a week.

🚨 BREAKING: GANTRY CLIMBERS NOT GUILTY

A jury found Sam, Isobel and Rachel not guilty of public nuisance at Guilford Crown Court today, after they climbed gantries above the M25 in 2022.

The jury decided they had a reasonable excuse for taking action.

🚨 BREAKING: 44 MONTH SENTENCE FOR £150 RETOUCH OF 'SUNFLOWERS' PAINTING

During their trial, it was acknowledged that only £150 was spent retouching the frame.

But Phoebe and Anna were banned from talking about monetary value, so the jury were not informed.

What will you eat?

We are passing through 1.5C of heating, on our way to a hotter, hotter future. There is no evidence that farmers will be able to grow food.

That’s why the Actuaries (IFoA) say it’s entirely credible that 4 billion people will die as we hit 3C in the 2050s.

If you took action with Just Stop Oil, there's close to a 40% chance a jury will find you not guilty.

To wait 4 years after taking action to have a trial is an utter failure of the criminal justice system. At this point, the process of trial is punishment, whether or not defendants are found guilty.

Each crown court trial requires significant preparation and personal cost, as well as huge amounts of taxpayer money.

A crown court trial in relation to the M25 gantry actions in 2022 was due to start today, but has been postponed until at least December 2026.

Why? Because there weren't any judges available.
