    I’m sorry dog but spray painting an ancient wonder isn’t an environmental protest.

      It’s corn starch. The ancient wonder suffers more defacement in the form of erosion because it rains every 4 seconds in the UK. Stonehenge will be perfectly okay.

        My wording was trash. It’s not so much the “damage” done but that it doesn’t feel like a productive protest and that it’ll piss of more people than anything.

          Non-violently blocking the entrance to an oil refinery = good protest

          Defacing ancient monument temporarily = bad protest

            More or less. Painting the jets was pretty awesome too. I’m just afraid the monument is going to make fewer people take them seriously.
