Sometimes it’s hard to even fathom what the hell is going through the minds of some of these radical leftist kids … at all.
Quite frankly, I’m not even sure if anything is even occurring in their grey matter what so ever.
Now, here I am thinking that the left appreciates the great works of art in human history … what an idiot I am, right?
How these kids thought that this was going to win people over to their side is beyond me … it’s just ashine …
The Gateway Pundit is reporting:
Two disturbed women of the activist group Just Stop Oil threw tomato soup over a painting by Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers on Friday that was on display at London’s National Gallery.
Phoebe Plummer, 21, from London, and Anna Holland, 20, from Newcastle dumped two cans of Heinz tomato soup all over an $80.99 million painting, which is protected by glass.
This whole incident was captured on film by Damien Gayle, a correspondent for the Guardian. Many people couldn’t believe what they had witnessed.

“What is worth more, art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice? Are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people?” said Phoebe Plummer.
“The cost of living crisis is part of the cost of oil crisis. Fuel is unaffordable to millions of cold, hungry families. They can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup,” she added.

The National Gallery staff quickly cleared the room, according to the Guardian.
Just Stop Oil is a climate activist group in the UK using civil resistance demanding the UK Government agrees to end all new oil and gas production. It launched on 14 February 2022.
According to the activist group, “New oil and gas will lead to crop failure, food shortages and the collapse of law and order. Human civilisation as we know it is on the verge of collapse.”
According to the London Metropolitan Police, specialists removed the two women from the wall and they have been taken into custody after being arrested for “criminal damage and aggravated trespass,” CNBC reported. READ MORE At THE GATEWAY PUNDIT HERE
