Just Stop Oil protesters have sprayed orange paint over the glass windows of several luxury car dealerships, including Ferrari, in Mayfair.
Two supporters sprayed the orange paint from a fire extinguisher over a number of premises on Berkeley Square and Bruton Street, including HR Owen Bugatti, Jack Barclay Bentley, Bentley Motor Cars London and Ferrari Mayfair about 8.30am on Tuesday.
The coalition of groups is demanding that the Government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents.
Carmen Lean, 28, an architecture student from Glasgow said:“We pay exorbitant bills for oil and gas but it’s nothing compared to the price our kids will pay for it.
“This government is using the crisis to push through more austerity on one hand and new oil licences on the other. Both are death sentences. If this government cared about people, they would be insulating homes, investing in affordable public transport and massively scaling up renewables.”
Supporter Emma Brown, 31, from Glasgow said:“We have come down from Scotland to demand this toxic government in Westminster do another U-turn. This time on our broken energy system. Get your hands off our North Sea Oil and rapidly upscale the renewable energies that will prevent catastrophic climate breakdown and reduce our bills.
“This is the immediate action we need to help the cost of living and the climate crisis. Not more oil for billionaires to profit from.”
It’s the latest in a swathe of protests from Just Stop Oil over the past three weeks.
The group claims police have made 585 arrests.
Since the campaign began on April 1st, Just Stop Oil supporters have been arrested 1,900 times, with seven supporters still in prison.
