Madame Tussauds museum.

The Just Stop Oil demonstrators said in a statement
that they were demanding that the government halt “all new oil and gas licenses
and consents”.
Police said four arrests had been made.
“We responded quickly to an incident at Madame
Tussauds after two people threw food at a statue at approximately 10:50 hrs.
They have both been arrested for criminal damage,” the Metropolitan Police said
in a tweet.
A later police tweet said an additional two people
had also been arrested for criminal damage.
In a statement released afterwards, Just Stop Oil
named the protesters as Eilidh McFadden (20) and Tom Johnson (29).
It quoted them as saying that they staged the
protest to “protect this green and pleasant land which is the inheritance of us
all”.
Just Stop Oil says climate change poses an
existential crisis for humanity and its direct tactics are justified.
Last week, two of the group’s activists scaled a
major road bridge over the River Thames, resulting in its closure.
Days earlier others threw tomato soup at Vincent van
Gogh’s “Sunflowers” masterpiece in London’s National Gallery.
