Five people have been arrested after Just Stop Oil protesters disrupted a performance of Les Misérables at the Sondheim Theatre in London’s West End.
During a performance of the song Do You Hear the People Sing? members of the Just Stop Oil group stormed the stage with banners. In a video of the protest posted online, the performance came to a halt as one member shouted “just stop oil”, to boos from the audience.
Personally I am wary of any group that has Roger Hallam in it, I also dont like their reductive story telling about civil disobedience / non violence and their whole “our plan WILL work, trust me bro”. I still am in solidarity with their actions and goals, but I dont support the brand / organization behind it or all the similar ones around the globe.
