The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.

Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.

Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.

I can't simple not see any logic reason in what they are doing...

Might as well paint a toilet orange at the local library and say it's for the environment.

Probably requires harsh cleaning and that goes into the ground..

It's cornstarch, it requires water (rain).

My cornstarch isn't orange by default...

The difficulty of adding orange food coloring to cornstarch is an insurmountable chemical process.

The point is to get us talking about it. I'd say they succeeded.

Ah! similar to people that wants cloud on social.

Sure, if you want to phrase it that way. Just slightly different motivation.

Slightly, but basically the same thing 🤣
