A pair of British bloggers got the last laugh on a rogue anti-oil protest group after it infiltrated a vegan banquet and set off rape alarms hidden in helium balloons that floated to the ceiling..The eco-activist group ‘Just Stop Oil’ — notorious for its outrageous antics to protest the oil and gas industry — got an extra serving of humble pie on Friday after two pranksters calling themselves ‘Just Stop Pissing People Off’ infiltrated their posh dinner and set off deafening personal safety sirens..It then posted the melee to their 1.4 million social media followers..According to Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, the pair infiltrated the group with the aim of “giving them a taste of their own medicine.”. Oil counterprotest IICounter protesters disrupted an anti-oil group dinner in London on the weekend. .On Twitter, Manners 30, added: “Climate change is the greatest crisis facing our generation, but if we’re going to solve it we need to work together. JSO’s tactics over the last 18 months haven’t worked; indeed people across the country are put off this vital cause as a result of their protesting.”.The disruption comes a week after Just Stop Oil activists crashed the British Open golf championship and spread orange powder over the 17th green at Royal Liverpool and ignited it with a smoke flare..Past antics include disrupting Premier League soccer matches and spray painting the UK Energy Department orange while demanding the UK government “immediately halt all new licences and consents for new oil, gas and coal projects.".They’ve thrown tomato soup at famous paintings and glued themselves to picture frames in galleries. .Normally stoic Brits have had enough of the stiff upper lip, though, even those who would otherwise support action to reduce emissions. .“The people at JSO are well-intended; but they're going about it the wrong way. Stopping mothers getting to hospital, or ruining people's day out at the snooker isn't doing anything to tackle climate change,” Manners continued. .For their part, the Just Stop Oil organizers grudgingly gave the disrupters their due. .“Props to @j_s_p_p_o for their impeccable action design,” they tweeted.
