In a daring act of eco-protest, two individuals associated with the Just Stop Oil movement were arrested after they spray-painted several private jets orange at an airfield near Stansted Airport. The airfield is allegedly where Taylor Swift’s private jet had landed just hours before.

The eco-protesters, demanding an “emergency treaty” to phase out fossil fuel usage by 2030, targeted the private aviation area of the airfield. Essex Police swiftly apprehended the protesters, suspending runway operations as a precaution. Fortunately, no flights were disrupted, and the airport resumed normal operations shortly thereafter.
