Greenpeace held a peaceful protest at Rishi Sunak’s North Yorkshire mansion over his energy policy last week.
Neither Sunak or his family were at home. This wasnt a secret. Media reports showed them on holiday in the US. In fact there was no one there at all. Greenpeace checked. They did not enter the mansion but draped a black cloth over it, symbolising oil.
As stunts go it was quite effective but of course it provoked condemnation from the usual suspects. A Times Editorial (5th August)claimed a red line had been crossed.
Could this be the paper owned by Rupert Murdoch whose journalists relentlessly hung around outside Jeremy Corbyn’s Finsbury Park house? Were similar journalists the reason why Tony Benn started shredding his waste paper because journalists were going through his bins?
