Van Gogh has been souped again by the illustriously non inventive JSO. Two Sunflowers paintings from 1888 and 89. They've done it before it achieved nothing, so why do it again? If they want headlines they could paint themselves pink and green and run down the Mall starkers. I'd be with them all the way. But leave the tortured soul's gifts to the world alone. Surely JSO want more lovers not haters?

I think these individuals lead cosy but empty middle-class lives. This is their way of feeling part of something bigger that means something (but doesn't). Like suicide bombers, conspiracy theorists and Labour MPs.

The other description is they are nut-jobs...

this along with stopping traffic, something that infuriates drivers on clogged and stressful roads have been totally off-putting and not had a single positive result for the cause (which is just).

I don't like the punitive long jail sentences and they aren't producing the Martyrs desired.

Bloody useless PR..whoever thought it up needs sectioning.

Oddly they never go China or Africa. When they are seen they wearing clothes made by oil, same with their phones and not fogetting child labour was used to dig up the metals to make their phones and computers.

Imagine getting 2 years in jail and a criminal record for throwing soup at a picture. It's beyond pathetic as an act of protest and reason to be imprisoned for such a stretch.

I've seen this Phoebe character being interviewed last year by Jacob Rees Mogg on GB News in primetime. She had the look and sound of someone who had been well and truly consumed by a cult leader somewhere. I'd suggest while in jail she is fed a daily tin of tomato soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner until she is sick of the sight of it.

While I can take that someone young and foolish may act like this and be easily taken in with a naive and overly idealistic worldview, what excuse is there for someone aged 71 to have done the same thing and been taken in by the cult?
