Just Stop Oil protesters spray paint Oxford University's iconic Radcliffe Camera building

Just Stop Oil protesters have sprayed orange paint over the University of Oxford's iconic Radcliffe Camera building.

A video posted on the group's social media pages, shows two people using cans of orange paint, spraying the bricks and window frames.

The students, armed with buckets of paint and spray cans targeted building at Oxford and Exeter universities at around midday on Tuesday, in what the group describes as "resistance against the UK Government’s plans to license new oil and gas projects."

A spokesperson for the climate activist group said: "2 students have just sprayed the Radcliffe Camera building at the University of Oxford in an act of civil resistance.

"Students are demanding that university leaders make a public statement calling on the government to end new oil and gas projects, and make a commitment to join their students in marching on the streets of London, if the government fails to respond."
