Four Greenpeace activists climbed onto the roof of Rishi Sunak’s home today to protest against his backing for a major expansion of North Sea oil and gas drilling. The protesters clambered onto the £2million mansion in Richmond, North Yorkshire, and draped it in what they described as 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft) of ‘oily-black fabric’. At the same time, two further activists on the ground unfurled a banner featuring the words ‘Rishi Sunak – Oil Profits or Our Future?’ across the grass in front of the house. Mr Sunak is not at the property after leaving to go on a US family holiday yesterday with his wife Akshata Murty and their daughters Krishna, 12, and Anoushka, 10. The Prime Minister is expected to spend about ten days abroad on the West Coast and will visit Disneyland in California – leaving Oliver Dowden in charge of the UK. The demonstration follows a vow by Mr Sunak this week to ‘max out’ opportunities in the North Sea as he pledged to stand up for the oil and gas industry. The Prime Minister confirmed 100 new licences are set to get the green light and signalled support for the controversial Rosebank development west of Shetland.

Nice to see the police on top of their game.
Now this is "radical" protest I can get behind. No destruction of private property, no holding the public hostage to get a point across. If those in power won't listen, then you have to get their attention somehow. Just do it the "right" way.
Just stop the gas oil explotation now…
Charge them all with criminal damage and trespass , jail them all for a year and then see if they carry it on
JAIL THEM All
