Activists have poured yellow and blue paint on the road just outside the Russian embassy in London in a striking show of solidarity with Ukraine.
"Tomorrow is the first anniversary of Putin's imperialist invasion of Ukraine, an independent state and a people with every right to self-determination."The existence of a massive Ukrainian flag outside his embassy in London will serve to remind him of that." - Led By Donkeys campaign group
They should have been given medals, not arrested.
It made the national news hee, but not about the arrests. I hope they were released quickly. xoxo
ReplyDeleteMe too. This was an absolutely inspired protest!

A very powerful statement and impossible to ignore.
ReplyDeleteHope they are released without charge soon.
The Mayor, for what he's worth, should make this a permanent feature! Jx
DeleteAgreed, genius idea! Though I did wonder what type of paint they used, and what it would do to tyres. And then I went all health and safety in my head.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think they should have been arrested.

I think a few yellow or blue paint-spattered tyres would be worth it for such a statement, tbh. Jx
DeleteWell, it could have been very interesting if it was gloss paint!!! I was worried about the first cars skidding and having an accident.

Apparently they used "high-standard, non-toxic, solvent-free, eco-friendly, fast-dry edible paint designed for making road art". I wouldn't fancy eating anything scraped up off a London street, myself. Jx
DeleteEffing brilliantski!
ReplyDeleteDa, da, da! Jx
