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 a𒉰 horrible 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 about this disruption than our world being burnt before our eyes, then you n꧃eed to get your priorities straight."
We will not be spectators❀ to government inaction. There can be NO NEW OIL in the UK. A𒀰nd whilst there is, action will continue.

They added: "We are goꦫing 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 over the past week.

Just Stop Oil tweeted directly at Northamptonshire Police to say: "We did it anyway. This action was covered 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 disappointed that this group of people ignored our warnings prior to race-day and made the i༺ncredibly dangerous decision t🔴o 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 group𝓰 were swiftly remꦿoved and arrested by our officers.
“Al♛l seven are currently in custody where their details are being 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 h💎ave had very low crime rates, today’s incident was dealt with effectively and efficiently, and I could not have asked for more."
