Greenpeace activists protest against UK PM Rishi Sunak's oil and gas drilling plans

Greenpeace activists in Britain carried out a distinctive protest in their own style at the private mansion of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The protest came in response to Sunak's plans to expand oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. The Indian-origin Prime Minister's decision was met with resistance from climate activists who sought to draw attention to the environmental implications of such expansion. During the protest, five activists climbed onto the roof of Sunak's mansion and unfurled a 200-yard-long banner with the words "Oil Black Fabric" written all over it...

In addition to the banner, a message reading "Rishi Sunak - Oil Profits or Our Future?" was painted on the black fabric, which was spread across the mansion's lawn. The activists engaged in the protest for approximately five hours until the police arrived and arrested them for further discussions.
Sunak's office defended the expansion plans, arguing that the oil drills would eventually serve as a source of energy and contribute to the country's goal of becoming a net-zero economy by 2050. The approval for the first 100 drillings is expected to be granted by the end of this year.Greenpeace, an active environmental movement, expressed strong opposition to Sunak's announcements, stating that they undermine the UK's environmental goals. The protests aimed to prevent the approval of the primary authority Rosebank, which is the UK's largest undeveloped oil and gas field.
