Just Stop Oil protesters sprayed the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Camera building with orange paint on Tuesday 10 October.
Footage shows two students armed with buckets of paint and spray cans targeting the iconic Oxford landmark, which is also a working library.
A statement from Just Stop Oil claimed the action was taken “in resistance against the UK government’s plans to licence new oil and gas projects”.
The students were named as Daniel Knorr, 21, a biochemistry student and Noah Crane, 18, a recent A-Level graduate.
Buildings at the University of Exeter were also targeted.

Almost becoming more cringe than anything else now.
Wow, how brave.
There was no need like 🌝
The decision made 100 years ago to provide automobile access to the working/middle classes has been a disaster for our environment. 95% of car journeys could easily be made by bicycle, which is a far less expensive and non-polluting form of travel. This would have the added effect of helping to curb the working-class obesity epidemic. Together we CAN make a difference.
And then the lovely old building was cleaned with a huge diesel powered pressure washer…..oh, the irony 😅😅
Dossers
Moronic
Overpaid posh Oxford students. Have it!!!
