Climate Activists Arrested for Defacing Private Jets at Stansted Airport

News summary

Climate activists from Just Stop Oil have targeted a private airfield at Stansted Airport where Taylor Swift's jet reportedly landed, spraying two private jets with orange paint. Protesters Jennifer Kowalski and Cole Macdonald were arrested after cutting through a fence and using fire extinguishers filled with paint, demanding the UK government commit to phasing out fossil fuels by 2030. This incident follows a similar protest at Stonehenge, where activists sprayed the prehistoric site with orange powder paint, prompting arrests and widespread condemnation. English Heritage managed to clean the paint off Stonehenge, but the events have sparked a debate over the tactics used by environmental groups. These protests highlight the tension between the lifestyles of the wealthy and the environmental impact of fossil fuel consumption.
