Climate change activists' plan to spray fake blood on the Treasury did not get off to the best start.
Extinction Rebellion protesters used a hose from an old fire engine to spray 1,800 litres liquid at the 100 year-old building, but they quickly lost control of the powerful water jet.
Protesters say they are "highlighting the inconsistency between the UK governments insistence that the UK is a world leader in tackling climate breakdown, and the vast sums it pours into fossil fuel exploration".
The Met Police said five men and three women had been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

Hosers ! Looks akin to a 2 1/2 line . Navy firefighting hose team requirements call for 5 people to man a 2 1/2 line. The reason why is clearly evident .

These act of vandalism amaze me.
The only people impacted are the custodial staff who are left to clean-up the mess and depending on the type of vandalism will require them to deal with 'toxic substances' like paint which will expose the workers to 'toxic solvents'.
In this case, it's only water-based dyes but in the past they have used real blood, urine, and other wastes and chemicals.
These 'activists' never seem concerned about the people who will have to deal with their vandalism.

There is *something* in their skulls, but I am not sure if brains are in there.

The one “man” hose team was clearly inadequate.

It was funny to watch, but I was disappointed it didn’t cause them greater harm to themselves. It might deter twerps like them in the future, but...probably not. They aren’t that bright.
When I was in the USN, when they were teaching us shipboard firefighting (100 psi hoses IIRC) they demonstrated what can happen if the hose gets away from you in a compartment. The thing could beat you to death with that big heavy brass nozzle flailing around smashing into things.

Brings to mind the piles of trash after one of their pro-Earth demonstrations.
My observation is that most on the Left haven't actually accomplished anything "real". Anyone who gets real things done immediately thinks about the downstream consequences of their actions, both to themselves and the people around them. It comes with experience, something few on the Left have.

That’s what soy will do to you.
Even though I wouldn’t be able to control it either.

Shipboard firefighting in the hold of that half ship they put on the grounds of Great Lakes Naval Air Station in Illinois.
I was young, dumb and too scared to wiz after they started the fire and turned the lights off.

I wonder how many innocent cochineal beetles had to die to make all that red pigmented liquid?
