This action successfully elevates the debate beyond the petulant and childish discourse we’ve seen in the past.
My hope is that this marks a turning point for the debate.
We need to let them know that we will not stop until every wax figure in the country is covered in cake.
Only then will we be on the right path to solving this problem.
Isn’t the King a bit of an environmentalist himself?
I’m sure enough people will find a way to clutch their pearls over this that their disdain for protest survives intact.
Seriously, at this point what form of protest *is* acceptable to the public? Hanging effigies of Tories even as they govern like corrupt aristocrats in 1780s Versailles = mass pearl clutching. Impromptu toppling of slave traders’ statues when the official avenues have failed = mass pearl clutching. Gluing a dildo to JRM’s car = mass pearl clutching. Blocking roads = mass pearl clutching. Not even harming a painting = mass pearl clutching. For everything else there’s: tHaT’s So StUpId AnD iNeFfeCtIvE, wHy WoUlD yOu Do ThAt?
Don’t be surprised when protesters stop taking your opinion of their protests into account when you clutch your pearls at everything they do anyway.
I might sound like a conspiracy nut but I’m starting to think these people are Tory plants to get people against protesting enough they can make it illegal. Because I can’t fathom why smashing a cake into King Charles III is helping matters especially since King Charles III is very pro-green.
Can we start chucking oil on stuff and demand stopping food waste?
As I’ve said before, there people aren’t activists, they are just stupid vandals
All of there targets seem to be aiming at the wrong people and missing their points.
I mean you have celebrities in their gas’s guzzling private jets in there and they go for the one royal who’s been trying to push green agendas.
The more just stop oil people did those silly things, the more I am inclined to believe that they are just someone who is hired by the oil company themselves to defame any anti oil movement and make them look stupid.
Ad on the video is almost double the length of the actual video.
I can’t help but feel like Just Stop Oil are shooting themselves in the foot with this kind of protest.
Before people say ‘they’ve tried other ways and it hasn’t worked’, well this definitely isn’t working, they’re turning so many people away from being supportive and are making themselves and their cause look like fools in doing so.
Plenty of people became famous and widely known without having to damage anything or inconvenience anyone
I know TV ads more famous than people just for being a bit annoying or really creative.
Even if you support stopping the use of oil you’ll still be targeted
A victimless protest. I don’t see a big problem with this at all.
I wonder if it was a vegan cake, considering how bad the dairy industry is for the environment
I’m pretty sure they are now using their rights to protest as a way to just cause chaos. Come on
But why?
AFAIK the King is environmentalist – although he did say he’d probably have to take a step back from those responsibilities now – so why him? Of all the figures in that exhibition.
Ah yes, waste some food whilst smashing cake into arguably one of the most environmentally aware and biggest environmental activist public figures in the country..
These people are not smart
Bit of a weird target. He’s probably the most environmentally aware member of the entire British establishment.
JSO have lost the plot. Though, that’s been obvious for a while.
Tinned soup, Smash and a chocolate cake. No class. Too runny. Under baked. I’m disappointed, if I’m honest.
I’m expecting something far better in the technical challenge because right now this lot are in trouble of being next out of the tent.
I mean… surely there has to be some balance between “making a point” (whatever the point of this specific act is) and “not alienating 99% of common folk”?
One of the most environmentally aware public figures we have
Not alot going on between the ears with this lot…..
This is becoming a bit of a ‘middle class 20 something throws food at art’ meme now…
… It’s feeling less like a protest and more like a viral tiktok trend.
Don’t get me wrong though, I’d rather they do this than block ambulances on the motorway
The more I see them, the more I fear everyone will be more reluctant to ecology. They are counter-productive and hurting.
can we just stop calling vandalism by the wrong names? this isn’t activism, its just vandalism by assholes desperate for attention. nothing is achieved here other than criminal damage and wasted cake.
I don’t understand the food aspect of it all…
Soup, mashed potato and now chocolate cake?
I get the protests and yeah whatever, more power to you for protesting, but I don’t understand why they’re using food? Surely red paint to symbolise blood or even just use oil?
They really expect oil to just stop overnight? Because that is what I think they want. It takes time to stop oil reliance. They could always try educating people in other eco friendly measures or just change their name to Phase Out Oil or something that doesn’t make them sound unreasonable. This protest is baffling as Charles is an eco-friendly person who likely would do a lot more if he could but is tied by his er… position as king. Parliment banned him from going to conference.
​
If the world stopped oil overnight, it would be pure chaos. Nuclear power takes a while to start up. Just Stop Oil and Animal Rebellion seem to be morons who demand everyone stop drinking milk at once and stop using oil.
This guys are totally pointless – everything they are doing has been done. They are just privileged kids with nothing better to do.
Come up with solutions. Listen to peoples needs and then try and make valid suggestions and be part of the solution instead of just pissing people off and showing off on tic tok.
Young people are more damaging to the environment than old – this is actually a fact!
I mean of the all the waxworks to attack this seems incredibly ill informed.
Of all the reasons to be annoyed with Charles, this is the absolute last of them. Some of us haven’t forgotten that he was an advocate for climate change long before it was common wisdom. Back when doing so made you unpopular and weird, instead of whatever this is.
They must be using some sort of bingo wheel of place, projectile, recipient. It’s so fucking random. Museums will just end up putting fakes on display or covering them all with glass and they will end up getting arrested for chucking mashed bananas at a pane of glass, well played
Are these people really this stupid? Charles is probably the most pro-green figure in the establishment.
I wish some hunger activists would throw some motor oil on these idiots.
What does this have to do with helping the environment?
What does this have to do with oil and gas licenses?
Why is this a story?
What’s the point of this post?
Why the fuck am i commenting? I must be well bored. Just ignore them unless it is something worthwhile. Scaling the bridge was impressive. Dropping cake, soup, or milk on something makes you a bellend who likes to waste food and wants to watch some pleb clean it up.
The one person who’s backing them on envrionmental protection!!!!
Fxing degenerates.
Pointless.
Doesn’t endear me to them in the slightest. And I support moving away from oil.
Those that don’t or don’t know them arnt gonna give two shits.
But…..isn’t he super enviromentmentall conscious? I Don’t understand their methods really. Are they going out of their way to irritate people?
This is a relatively harmless stunt, but along with the others, all it does is sow resentment towards environmentalists. Yea the stakes are beyond high and we should be doing stuff, but this will ultimately work against them.
If you support this, it is plain and simple, you support criminal activity.
This is eco-fascist activity disguised as “activism” by people who don’t understand how world works and how much simple everyday objects and items are reliant on oil and gas.
By “just” stopping oil, for example you will stop healthcare. yeah, your medicine comes in plastic, plastic is made of … oil. Surprise! I can go on, there is so much that is made of plastic and is oil-based, you will be shocked. So no, there is no “just stopping oil”.
​
There is no way this is “raising awareness”, everyone already knows oil bad, solar good. This is not helping. And all this makes is hate these people even more.
Is that not treason? Off with their heads.
But yes, vandalise a person who has spent 50yrs on environmental issues. Dicks.
Activists? Bunch o’ naive hooligans I say!
I’m no fan of the royals, but I struggle to see how this helps with anything.

Why didn’t you say so? I’ll scrap my car tomorow!
