F1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone: Protestors arrested after sitting on track during race
The protestors sat down around a corner on the track - but the immediate red flag, caused by a hor💜rible crash 💟involving Guanyu Zhou, brought the explosive start to a halt.
Just Stop Oil posted on social media claiming credit for the protest, saying: "If you are more outraged a𒀰bout this disruption than our world being burnt before our eyes, then you need to get your priorities straight."
We will not 🐲be spectators to government inaction. There can be NO NEW OIL in the UK. And w🐲hilst there is, action will continue.

They added: "We are going to lose everything we love to extreme heating and climate breakdown. We will not be spectators while our planet burns and 🐠our entire species suffers. We will not sit by and do nothing while our government continues with oil. "
Just Stop Oil activists glued themselves to the frame of a Vincent van Gogh painting at an art gallery, amid multiple protests oveꦫr the past week.

Just Stop Oil tweeted directly at Northamptonshire Police to saღy: "We did it anyway. This action was ಞcovered in the national press two days ago, but a handful of ordinary people determined to tell the truth have outwitted [government and police]. The disruption will end when new oil and gas is stopped."
Seven people were arrested.
Chief Inspector Tom Thompson said: “I’m really disappoint💝ed that this group of people ignored♏ our warnings prior to race-day and made the incredibly dangerous decision to enter the track.
“We offered to facilitate a peaceful event at the circuit but they instead chose to put the lives of the drivers, marshals and volunteers at risk. It is incredibly disappointing that anyone would make the 🐷decision to do this.
“Thankfully we had plans in place for an eventuality such❀ as this and the group were swiftly removed and arrested by our officers.
“All seven are currently in custody where their details are bei𒅌ng ascertained.
“Finally, I would like to thank all of the officers and staff, as well as our partners,♚ who have worked tirelessly on this policing operation. Generally we have had very l▨ow crime rates, today’s incident was dealt with effectively and efficiently, and I could not have asked for more."
