A group of Just Stop Oil activists have been charged with aggravated trespass after invading the Lord’s pitch during the second Ashes test. They enraged cricket fans when they ran onto the Lord’s pitch and threw orange powder into the air.
‘The Just Stop Oil supporters are demanding the UK Govt immediately halt and new fossil fuel projects in the UK and are calling on Lord’s to make a statement demanding the same.
‘In recent weeks, Asia has been experiencing a historic heatwave. Reports indicate that cricket will be the hardest hit of all the major pitch sports by the extreme conditions wrought by the climate crisis—much of the cricketing world is at serious risk. ‘Lord’s Cricket Ground boasts about being powered by 100% renewable energy, yet their principal partner is JP Morgan, the world’s worst fossil bank that contributed $317 billion in fossil fuel financing from 2016 to 2020.’To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser thatHe said: ‘I think I should be pretty nervous, s***ing myself as they say, but I feel quite serene because I don’t have a choice. It is too terrible to think of’.
‘Everything we know about our current way of life will not be able to continue. I don’t want to live through that – I don’t want anyone else to live through that really. I feel that I have to do something. If it has a small chance of convincing other people to do something, then I’ll do it’. Just Stop Oil has been staging daily protests since April 24, disrupting high-profile events including the Chelsea Flower Show, the Gallagher Premiership rugby final at Twickenham and the World Snooker Championship, as well as holding daily slow marches on major London roads.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
