The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Just Stop Oil's ongoing publicity stunts are not legitimate protest, but a juvenile attempt to promote an egotistical agenda. These so-called 'activists' are not libertarians, and the challenge their actions pose to the UK's social contract must be met with harsher legal penalties.

Spectator (UK)

Establishment-critical narrative

Whether Trump or Harris had won the election, the antidemocratic influence peddled by corporate greed and the fossil fuel industry would have remained at the heart of both US and UK politics. While two men remain in custody for exercising their right to protest, the billionaire class continues to put its own interests ahead of the futures of ordinary people.
