It's not appropriate but I went there expecting it to be their usual orange paint or powder so it was a relief to see it was just confetti.

Protesting at someones wedding is awful. But it was just confetti no?

Personally you really have to be a special type of person to ruin someone’s wedding possibly religious ceremony (not sure if they are of faith)

and I imagine when someone’s running towards you chucking something at you don’t necessarily no it’s confetti of the bat

These JSO people are lunatics. But as protests go that was pretty laughable.

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 08/07/2023 20:10

Yeah, that's pretty despicable. As is her smirk.

GoodChat · 08/07/2023 20:12

Chucking confetti at a wedding? That'll learn 'em!

usernother · 08/07/2023 20:12

Really nasty. The gloating look on that woman who threw the confetti was horrible.

JudgeAnderson · 08/07/2023 20:13

Way to make people side with a Tory over environmental causes. Are the silly twats actually sponsored by Shell?

DamaskRosie · 08/07/2023 20:14

First time in my life I've felt sorry for GO. Completely counterproductive and I say that as someone who supports JSO's aims (but not its means)

Azaeleasinbloom · 08/07/2023 20:15

They don’t help their cause with this shit. This is so low.

To be honest I think they are following the new way #nodebate tactic no longer wanting to bring people with them just demanding there own way

Where?

It’s a guest throwing confetti.

Bellajac · 08/07/2023 20:24

Absolutely disgraceful. I can't stand George Osborne but that was shameful. It's their wedding. Disgusting behaviour. He's not even in government.

SamW98 · 08/07/2023 20:27

Can’t stand GO but it’s his wedding day. And wtf has someone’s wedding got to do with oil?

I get JSO’s cause but their methods just seem to be petty, self serving and counterproductive.

Iwasafool · 08/07/2023 20:29

So was the protest just one woman throwing confetti? The bride wasn't phased by the look of her.

Exactly.

Doing this to someone on their wedding day is despicable. Whether you agree with their politics. or not.

The smirk said it all.

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 08/07/2023 20:35

Funny how these JSO protestors aren’t all falling over themselves to go and protest out in the middle east where the majority of the oil comes from. Possibly because the authorities might not be quite as soft as they are here?

DaisyChain16 · 08/07/2023 20:37

If a bit of orange confetti has ruined their wedding then shit it must have been a rubbish day!

In 50 years our grandkids will ridicule us for our inaction.

Or maybe it would seem a bit hypocritical to go on a long journey using lots of oil to protest about using oil?

I think the strange e mail to their guests would have upset them much more.

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 08/07/2023 20:40

But we don’t produce it or use as much as other counties? So why keep disrupting us?
