The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.

Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.

Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.

    Or go sabotage a monument in Saudi-Arabia, they produce more oil than anyone.

    Throwing orange corn starch on the Black Stone in Mecca would be amazing press.

      They won’t do that. That would involve being killed. There is a reason why Peta throws red paint on old ladies wearing fur and not on biker gangs wearing leather.

      The very worst thing the UK government is going to do is throw them in jail for a few months, maybe a small fine.
