    To Just Stop Oil, a question no one is asking:

    Why do they keep picking on Van Gogh? Of all the great artists, he had the purest soul and was the least mercenary, never painted portaits of the aristocrats, worked only from love and pain and lived in poverty.

    He painted in oils. And bloody awful they were too.

    And is this the Socialist response, comrades?

    1. Throwing food about when people are starving.

    2. Choosing the artworks of proletarians like Van Gogh as targets.

    Guess if you saw a down-and-out street artist being pelted with muck, you’d join in?

    “No, painters’ oil is not the same as petrol:

    Composition
    Painters’ oil is made from natural oils and pigments, while petrol is a petroleum product.

    No matter what you may have heard, artists’ oil colors are made using vegetable oil as a vehicle and binder. This has been true from the very beginning.”
