A lady who tossed soup over a Van Gogh painting as a feature of a Stop Oil fight has said she'd never attempt to make harm it.

On Friday (14 October) the bum of the imaginative world were publicly gripped after protestors from ecological mission bunch Stop Oil tossed soup over an extremely valuable composition by Vincent Van Gogh.
Van Gogh's famous 'Sunflowers' painting drapes in the Public Display in London and getting doused in a tin of Heinz would likely have ruined it fairly.

Luckily, the composition was safeguarded by a sheet of glass that halted any of the soup leaking through to the valuable material, and the protestors have made sense of they never expected to harm the precious Van Gogh.
Presently, one of the protestors has made sense of why they decided to focus on the Van Gogh and made it clear they just tossed soup at it since they realized it was safeguarded and wouldn't get harmed.

She said: "Positively no harm done to the artistic creation, it was behind glass and we never at any point would have considered making it happen in the event that we didn't realize it was behind glass so we wouldn't cause any harm.

"I mean in a real sense we were sat up there actually stuck to the wall, they cleared it off with a touch of kitchen roll.

"I perceive that it seems to be a marginally crazy activity, I concur it is ludicrous, yet we're not posing the inquiry 'should everyone toss soup on compositions', what we're doing is getting the discussion rolling so we can pose the inquiries that matter.

"Questions like 'is it alright that Liz Bracket is permitting north of 100 new non-renewable energy source licenses?'
Also 'is it alright that non-renewable energy sources are financed multiple times more than renewables when seaward wind is presently multiple times less expensive?"

In the mean time, today (17 October) one more two activists moved up the tall poles of the Sovereign Elizabeth II scaffold at Dartford crossing, it being shut down to bring about it.
