Climate activists across Europe have pulled plenty of stunts over the past year, from throwing soup on a Van Gogh painting, to gluing themselves to various objects and roadways. In this embarrassing incident, British activists glued themselves to an oil tanker in Essex. The only problem? The tanker was carrying cooking oil, not crude oil.
Big oil has been a primary target of protests like this one from the beginning, and the activism group Just Stop Oil is behind many of the aforementioned demonstrations.
These protestors are part of a Just Stop Oil offshoot called Extinction Rebellion, which released a statement following the incident. "We are in civil resistance. This morning we occupied a tanker on the roads near Purfleet terminal to stop the flow of oil." Unfortunately, all they stopped in this case was the slicking of local frying pans.

Needs more glue.

I’d use a pressure washer to get the bugs off the truck.

Did the protestors make sure the glue wasn’t made from animal parts? Oh, the inhumanity!

If the truck gets going fast enough, they will all fall off

Be a real shame IF it had “accidentally” caught fire.... Yep, a real shame.

Too bad the truck is probably too big to drive through the automatic car wash :(

“I’d use a pressure washer to get the bugs off the truck.”
There was a line of dialog in “Zorro The Gay Blade” I think should apply here. It was spoken by The Evil Alcalde. “I have always depended on other people being nicer than me and I have NEVER been disappointed.” I realize that all of the potential outcomes I can imagine would get the perpetrator arrested and prosecuted. But if only ONE person did any of those things, it would doubtless end the concept of someone chaining or gluing their bodies to anything.

Cooking oil — vegetable oil.
Don’t these anti-oil idiots realize oil is natural and renewable.
Olive oil
Avocado oil
Peanut oil
Corn oil
Canola oil
Coconut oil
Cottonseed oil
Safflower oil
Soybean oil
Sunflower oil
and many other types and uses ...
Stupid hurts.
