I have no idea, but I’m hazarding a guess that cornflour (dyed orange with either natural or synthetic colourant - probably donated by one of the JSO cranks who normally use it for their hair), besides looking a bloody mess on the UK’s most revered ancient monument, is not going to be especially welcomed by the rare lichen species growing on the stones. The Oxford ‘educated’ moron who sprayed this stuff on the stones appears not to have considered such a possibility, in her haste to highlight a supposed wider climate and ecological crisis.
Stonehenge is not “all about celebrating the natural world,” it is about celebrating astronomical alignments and movements. It was precision built with this purpose in mind, an engineered stone built template, here on earth, which encapsulates the orbit of the earth around the sun, the equinoxes and the seasons. This moron (a student at Oxford University for Chrissakes!) thinks her glib (and false) comparison justifies spraying Stonehenge with ‘harmless’ orange cornflour in order to draw attention to the mythical ‘climate crisis’ allegedly caused by the increase in a trace atmospheric gas released by burning coal, oil and methane. If orange cornflour doesn’t agree with the rare lichen species growing on the stones, JSO might have started their very own ecological crisis at the site of our most revered national ancient monument.
Sunak, Coutinho, Miliband and Starmer have been quick to condemn the ‘outrageous’ actions of these two JSO jackasses, but politicians of all main parties were happy to entertain the demands of Extinction Rebellion extremists and Greta Goblin just a few years ago in order to promote ‘action on climate’. But now there’s an election in the offing of course. The hypocrisy stinks. The fact is, our government and Parliament have cynically used the eco-extremists to promote extremist climate policies by embracing their more ‘moderate’ demands (climate assemblies and Net Zero - albeit by 2050, later than XR demanded) and using their more extreme lunatic antics to detract from their own political extremism enshrined in the insane push to get to Net Zero in order to ‘save the planet’ from an entirely fabricated ‘climate crisis’.
It was reassuring to see people trying to stop them. The London museum attendants either do nothing or in some cases actually welcome the defacing of the art and artefacts in their care.
