Just Stop Oil protesters target the airport where “Taylor Swift’s jet landed hours earlier”

Protesters from the Just Stop Oil campaign have targeted Stansted Airport, where “Taylor Swift’s jet had landed hours earlier”.

They reportedly broke into the area of ​​a private VIP airfield “hours after Swift’s own jet arrived.”

The singer will perform at Wembley Stadium on Friday evening as part of the final leg of her Eras tour.

In an interview with X, Just Stop Oil said: “Jennifer and Cole have cut the fence to the private airport at Stansted where @taylorswift13’s jet is parked and are calling for an emergency deal to end fossil fuels by 2030.”

They added: “At around 5am, Jennifer Kowalski and Cole Macdonald entered the private airfield at Stansted Airport where Swift’s jet is currently based.

“The couple painted two private jets with fire extinguishers filled with orange paint.”

Despite these claims, there is no confirmation that the jet belongs to Swift.

Macdonald, a protester with the Just Stop Oil campaign, said: “We live in two worlds: in one, billionaires live in luxury and can fly away in private jets. In the other, countless millions of people are forced into unbearable conditions.”

“Meanwhile, this system, which allows a few to accumulate extreme wealth at the expense of everyone else, is destroying the conditions necessary for the maintenance of human life in a rapidly accelerating, never-ending ‘summer of cruelty.’

“Billionaires are not untouchable, climate change will affect each and every one of us.”

Kowalski, 28, added: “Over the years, I have come to realize that even my work in sustainability essentially does not provide me with the ability to make the changes necessary to prevent the complete collapse of our natural systems.

“I have to take desperate measures to make my voice heard.

“In 2024, we must all think daily about what we can do to change the course of our society.

“We need an emergency treaty to stop the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030.”

The LADbible Group has contacted a representative for Taylor Swift for comment.
