Just Stop Oil ‘unhelpful’, says Rowan Williams

The former Archbishop of Canterbury, who protested with Extinction Rebellion, has accused Just Stop Oil activists of having “unconstructive” and “unhelpful” tactics.

Lord Williams of Oystermouth, 72, said that while he found “that sort of activism understandable”, he would not “be throwing cans of soup on paintings” any time soon.

Lord Williams was speaking after the Climate Repentance Ceremony, the inaugural multi-faith environmental conference, in London, last week.

He said that he believes that Just Stop Oil’s intentions are about “reminding people of the urgency” of the climate crisis. However, he added: “I’d like the action taken to be one that draws more people [in].”
