Keir Starmer Must Pay for Damage Caused by Just Stop Oil Protest, Says Government Minister

by Will Jones
20 July 2023 9:00 AM

Energy Security Secretary Grant Shapps has written to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer demanding that he pays for the damage caused by Just Stop Oil when its activists yesterday attacked the Department for Energy Security. The Express has the story.

Mr. Shapps noted that the Labour party has accepted £1.5 million in donations from one of Just Stop Oil’s biggest donors, Dale Vince.

In his letter, the Secretary of State for Energy Security said: “I am writing to you to ask you to pay to repair the damage to the department. The British public should not have to foot the bill for your mates in Just Stop Oil.”

The eco-protesters sprayed orange paint over the Department “demanding that the U.K. Government immediately halts all new licences and consents for new oil, gas and coal projects”.

Mr. Shapps claimed the damages are worth £3,000 to £4,000, adding: “We will send you the invoice.”

He continued: “Given your close connections with the group responsible for the damage, you must also be responsible for picking up the bill to clean up for them.”

Earlier this year, the Labour party faced pressure from Tory MPs to return the £1.5million in donations recieved by the party since 2014.

The Conservative Party’s Deputy Chairman Lee Anderson said the acceptance of the money is a “slap in the face to hardworking Brits trying to get on with their lives”.

Meanwhile, Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns said the general public are “tired of road blocks and disruptions”, adding: “Enough is enough.”

Mr. Anderson told the Daily Express: “Starmer’s been caught orange-handed.”

Surely a good lawyer would proceed as Follows – Show me 100% proof that the masks block the virus from spreading ! Case closed !

Indeed. The Cochrane review should have put it all to rest by now. That the judges ignored that is nothing short of Lysenkoism.

Well, there we have it from the mouth of the judge – it wasn’t so much an effective health measure, it was a gesture.
I am sure the mask fascists will be able to show the statistics of how Covid infections and deaths in this church congregation were so much higher because if their lack of gesturing. This would, of course, be a part of the judge’s deliberations wouldn’t it?

The scale of this fine exposes the heart of the antichrist spirit behind the lockdown.
If I was a member of this church I would refuse any payment.
God still judges today. The wicked better beware.

Pastor Mike McClure spoke to MD4CE a few weeks ago along with a US lawyer who is giving his legal services for free to numerous cases against the covid tyrannical measures.

Christians are right at the front of the firing line. Christianity is the polar opposite of wokeism, which is a religion without foregiveness.

Why doesn’t the church identify as a trans organisation and say they were preparing to rob stores, sell drugs and murder people and taking the masks off allowed to recognize each other and be inclusive, that way they can have the lesser charge of robbery or murder, so they can be straight out on the street.

In any mans-slaughter/mal-practice/murder case there are victims – dead or alive. So who died or became injured as a consequence of the churches (non) actions? This case is to ensure the whole narrative around lockdowns, masks and vaccines stays intact. Klaus Schwab did say how important the narrative is. Actually so did Goebbels, Beria, Lenin, A. H. and a few other similar types.

It should appear clear to all – regardless of religious affiliation – that wearing a mask while worshiping one’s god and communing with other congregants is a simple, unobtrusive, giving way to protect others while still exercising your right to religious freedom

It’s really hard to think of something more obtrusive than forcing people who come together for a common celebration to hide their faces from each other with some random piece of cloth or state-sanctioned super cloth (of 4 of them for good measure). People who think they need protection from other people’s toxic breath are entitled to isolated themselves or found communities of like-minded people (there should be enough of them) where they can than lead happy forever-muzzled lives until the unhygenic bare-faces have all died of their filthy habits.

It would be interesting to know the level of mask wearing in local Mosques during this period.

I wonder if the “authorities” checked them out?

I’m a church attending committed Christian who refused an untrialled vaccine and didn’t abide by the draconian rules inside church. There are so many gullible people about. The elite were exempt. What does that tell you?
