Just Stop Oil activists dragged away by police after painting university buildings. JSO have sprayed bright orange and yellow paint over buildings at the University of Oxford.
A Just Stop Oil activist who spray-painted a listed building at Oxford University has a track record in eco-related disruption, MailOnline can reveal.
And in April, he was arrested for trying to scale and cover a plaster of Paris cast of 'Dippy the diplodocus' with orange powder at a Coventry gallery. Daniel Knorr can be seen lying flat on the floor after he was tackled by security at a dinosaur exhibit in Coventry in AprilAnd a month later, he was punched and kicked by an angry motorist after staging a slow march on the roads in west London
The Grade I-listed building is almost 300 years old and was built as a library, but now functions as a reading room. The university says the main entrance to the building has been closed while it prepares to remove the paint.'Oxford academics are fully aware of the scale of the climate crisis – this year Oxford scientists said that in a few years climate breakdown will routinely expose people to unsurvivable heat and humidity.
The spokesperson told BBC News: 'The university does not support illegal action, including any unlawful protesting, and may, within its powers, take any steps it considers appropriate against any student guilty of such behaviour.But Knorr's alleged vandalism in Oxford is not his first brush with infamy this year -and comes just weeks after he manned a Just Stop Oil stand at the university's freshers fair.
Knorr and Victoria Lindsell, 67, were filmed climbing over a low metal barrier at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum before security in high-visibility jackets tackled them to the ground.But the case was dropped just days ago, reports Warwickshire World, because the prosecution did not submit any evidence.
Other Just Stop Oil activists have stormed events such as the British Grand Prix, the World Snooker Championship and even a live performance of Les Miserables Knorr, Jacob Bourne and Judit Murray were then pelted with champagne corks and fruit by furious fans as they were carted off of the field and taken away.
Just Stop Oil staged a 'slow march' in South Kensington, London on July 19, deliberately walking at a snail's pace on Cromwell Road to halt traffic. Just Stop Oil activists have also disrupted other sporting events including the Snooker World Championship in AprilEco entrepreneur Dale Vince, who has previously backed Just Stop Oil, now says the group's activities are 'counterproductive' and 'pointless'
The July action was one of several co-ordinated protests carried out by Just Stop Oil that day as part of what it said was an attempt to 'paralyse London'.
