Protesters crash prestigious BBC event (VIDEO)

Environmental demonstrators blared air horns and set off confetti cannons on the stage of a London concert

Activists disrupted a famous concert in London staged by British state broadcaster the BBC on Friday evening, storming the stage to protest the network’s coverage of climate change. 

Two members of the activist group Just Stop Oil interrupted the first night of the BBC Proms held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Carrying banners, air horns, and confetti, the protesters took to the stage as loud boos erupted from the audience, with some attendees chanting “Off, off, off!”

“Tonight’s action comes in response to the BBC’s underwhelming coverage of the climate emergency,” Just Stop Oil said in a tweet.

“In recent weeks, the BBC has been accused of ‘false balance’ as well as uncritically regurgitating government and oil company propaganda.”

The protesters were quickly removed from the stage and ejected from the event as the footage of the incident was making the rounds online.
