Just Stop Oil activists who threw tomato soup over priceless Van Gogh Sunflowers painting are found guilty of criminal damage

Just Stop Oil activists who threw tomato soup over a priceless Van Gogh painting have been found guilty of criminal damage.

Anna Holland and Phoebe Plummer, both 22, flung two tins of Heinz soup at the Dutch artist's 1888 masterpiece while it was on display at the National Gallery on October 14, 2022.

The pair then proceeded to glue themselves to the wall following the attack on the painting.

Although the oil-canvas worth up to £72.5m was protected by a glass cover and went unharmed, its 17th century Italian frame was damaged.

Both Plummer and Holland refused to say who they took instructions from before they carried out the publicity stunt.

The pair had paid a visit to the museum in Trafalgar Square a day before the incident and bought the tins of soup from a Tesco supermarket in central London.

They denied but were convicted of damaging property by a jury after a four day trial at Southwark Crown Court.

They showed no emotion as the jury announced its verdicts.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

That 17th frame is worth more than the lives of these wastes of oxygen.

I say glue them to chairs and throw cans of soup on them - and make them sit there for several days. Or weeks.

There are people in the world who truly believe that fossil fuels will destroy humanity in 12 years and they have never been exposed to an alternative viewpoint


These people are more dangerous than the Algores and John Kerrys of the world
