Anti-oil campaigners in the UK have a new protest tactic: Gluing themselves to famous works of art
Of course the whole point of these stunts is to garner media attention and that seems to be working out for this group so far. Here’s there spokesperson Emma Brown.

Finally, a good suggestion from Iowahawk on possible future protest action.
Notice they are not STUPID enough to glue themselves to the painting, only the frame.
