The British Museum was forced to close after a joint protest by eco-activists and pro-Palestine groups blocked entry to the historic building. The Mail has the story.
A new alliance between pro-Palestine groups and those linked to Just Stop Oil – called Energy Embargo for Palestine – targeted the historic building on Russell Street in the capital at around 2:15pm. …
Hundreds of protesters gathered at the museum’s main entrance on Russell Street and held up a banner which read: “Sponsored by BP = sponsored by colonial genocide”.
There were also Palestine flags on display as the demonstrators chanted, “Shut down BP” and “If you partner wit BP, we’ll shut you down”.
Energy Embargo for Palestine posted on X, formerly Twitter, that they were outside the British Museum just before 3pm today.
They wrote: “After the police and museum have collaborated to blocked the public from going into the museum today, we have staged a protest outside!
“During Israel’s ongoing genocidal siege on Gaza, BP was given the green light to search for gas in occupied Palestinian waters. BP is also fuelling the Zionist war machine through its imperialist production and export of Azerbaijani oil to Israeli.
“As part of the Free Palestine Coalition’s month of action, hundreds of people have united outside the British Museum to demand an end to the museum’s partnership with BP.” …
They are targeting the British Museum because of its sponsorship with British Petroleum (BP).
A briefing note sent to protestors, obtained by Mail Online, outlines its action…
The note says: “Our action is in response to the call issued by the Palestinian-led Global Energy Embargo for Palestine to disrupt the energy flow to Israel and pressure institutions to cut ties with energy companies that own and invest in Israeli oil and gas reserves.”

I think most of these activist nutjobs are cut from the same cloth, they just change their hats depending on which demo they’re attending. The Alphabet Mafia, the JSO ( Just Sod Off! ) loons and the terrorist-supporting Antisemites Utd yobs. Delusional ‘useful idiots’, nothing more. ”If you tolerate everything you stand for nothing.”
It did please me greatly to see our Niyak had found himself a posse yesterday, and I’m loving the hoodies. Emily Schrader is also kick-arse, as she was calling out the rape-apologist traitors for what they are;
”I am very pleased to stand alongside you, dear ones, as a representative of the brave Iranian people who have always voiced their solidarity with the people of Israel. Let me tell you, we stand shoulder to shoulder with you, like Cyrus the Great and the hope of the Iranian nation, Crown Prince PahlaviReza
– I’m also grateful to @emilykschrader
and @YosephHaddad
for joining us in our recitation. Together, we will triumph over terrorists and their supporters. Soon, we will celebrate the destruction of the Islamic Republic and Hamas side by side.

It would be quite nice if they weren’t all so ignorant of history.
Just ignorant.
With the emphasis on ‘ignore’
British Petroleum, over 100 years, opened the first oil refinery in the Middle East, pioneered oil exploration in the region, and thanks to BP’s amazing leadership and technical innovation, brought huge wealth to nations across the Middle East. Yet another legendary British institution.
And if BP is sponsoring the mighty British Museum? Great, I cannot think of a better use of its sponsorship funds; congratulations to BP for assisting this magnificent, world-famous museum.
But these little nitwits don’t know or care about that, do they? All they care about is bringing chaos and instability to our streets, and desecrating our culture and our historic institutions. No doubt Israel and China will be pleased with this, because this is their mission: cultural desecration and degeneracy. And they are succeeding in their mission.
It’s time British men stand up, and fight back. Otherwise this magnificent country that our ancestors built will cease to exist.
They also forget that BP is now called “Beyond Petroleum” and if there are technologies and energy solutions that are of as great a benefit to people as oil has been then BP will find and invest in those. Wind and sun are of no benefit to anyone. They are niche technologies that the anti capitalist Green movement are fobbing us off with for political purposes.
Clearly a distraction.
Check the back door for bearded weirdos legging it in surprisingly bulky grey duffle coats (with those strange horn buttons).
If anyone had any doubts about “environmental” groups this should finally dispel them. They’re either West hating nutters or bored know nothings who’ll jump onboard whatever they see as the latest “fashionable” cause de jour.
Probably mostly the former.
Oh fuck off, you low wattage humans.
Time to counter protest these people. Let’s block them from going home..
I have stronger tactics in mind but currently Britain is too weedy and soy boy and over feminised to do what is needed.
All the worlds leftist hooligans hang out together because all they have in common is being a hooligan. They don’t care what the issue is as long as they can get together and cause chaos and hate. —–Yet our silly governments let them off Scot Free and are busy creating new “Hate Crime Laws” to protect the scum.
Just proves that all these wokesters are the same rent-a-mob protesters that don’t care about the cause as long as they are causing disruption. Tear gas the bar stewards.
I’d thoroughly enjoy crossing that picket line.
The Troy Exhibition a few years ago was excellent and absolutely packed, although it was annoying being crammed in with private school kids who were not actually looking at anything but filming it all on their phones.
When you remember how trains were stopped from entering London during the Lockdown protests, it’s galling how little is done to deter this kind of nonsense.
Instead of protecting us from the protesters, the authorities protect the protesters from us. ———————-I wish I still worked in the British Museum as I would have loved to have forced my way through the scum to my place of work, but ofcourse I would be the one in the wrong for daring to try and clear a way through the morons.
