Just Stop Oil Activists Throw Cake on King Charles Waxwork in London
Just Stop Oil activists smashed cakes into the face of a King Charles waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London on Monday, October 24.
Video released by the group shows two people standing beside the statue, before revealing their Just Stop Oil T-shirts and smashing the cakes into its face.
Just Stop Oil named the two protesters as Eilidh McFadden, from Glasgow, and Tom Johnson, from Sunderland.
“In the words of the king,” Johnson says, “‘The science is clear.’ The demands are simple: Just stop oil. It’s a piece of cake.” Credit: Just Stop Oil via Storyful
