Desecrating the grave of the UK’s most famous scientist might seem like a strange thing to do for members of a mob that use ‘trust the science’ (of climate change) as their mantra, but protest group Just Stop Oil have shown they have no moral boundaries.

Previously, they have attacked priceless works of art, historic fountains, and Stonehenge.

Two idiots spray-painted 1.5 is dead on the white marble of Darwin’s grave in Westminster Abbey. Why weren’t they stopped? Why aren’t they ever stopped?

No, I am not going to type out their message or any of their propaganda. They do not deserve the attention. Their hysterical ramblings should be lost until they can work out a way to engage in the public conversation in an adult manner, instead of running around vandalising public property.

Instead, perhaps it is time to start asking some questions.

Questions like, who funds Just Stop Oil?

What should the punishment be for individuals and companies who facilitate protests that incite vandalism?

The deep pockets behind this movement should show their faces and reveal their true interests for public scrutiny.

Then we can see what this protest movement is really about.

And you can bet we’re going to take an inventory of their hypocrisy.

As for the two who partook in the act of vandalism, they were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.

One might hope they are promptly sent the bill for the cleanup and perhaps dip-dyed in orange so they can spend a few weeks engaged in performative virtue signalling. Or maybe in the future, seeing as UK jails are too full to deal with activists, judges might be able to order their worldly possessions to be painted orange. No doubt they would protest against all of these things. Well, we protest against what they are doing to monuments of historical and cultural importance.

We jest, of course, but in the past, a short jail stint and hero status among their cult followers hasn’t slowed Just Stop Oil down. Is it time to revise the law?
