The hose on the fire engine they had commandeered for the occasion ruptured and snake-sprayed the ground instead of the building.
Members of the group who took time out of their busy lives to vandalise the Treasury building included a retired university lecturer who specialised in teaching "social work", a "musician", and an "ex-Buddhist teacher".
Two have reportedly been arrested, but questions will surely need to be asked about how these eco-terrorists managed to get a fire engine so close to a government building — the Treasury in Horse Guards Road, right next to Parliament Square, opposite Buckingham Palace — in what is the most heavily police-protected area in the whole of Britain.
And how they then managed to spray — or attempt to spray — the building for at least 40 seconds without anyone trying to stop them.

That's what's so insidious about using children for this kind of psyop. Anyone who contradicts them is a "bully".
They're like Midwich Cuckoos without any of the psi-action. Nothing going on upstairs, so damn sure there's nothing going on on the level above. LOL.
"The Midwich Cuckoos is a 1957 science fiction novel written by the English author John Wyndham. It tells the tale of an English village in which the women become pregnant by brood parasitic aliens.
Brood parasitism
Brood parasites such as cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests for them to raise. The "cuckoo" in the novel's title alludes to a family of birds, of which nearly 60 species are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other birds. These species are obligate brood parasites, only reproducing in this way, the best-known example being the Eurasian cuckoo. The cuckoo egg hatches earlier than the host's, and the cuckoo chick grows faster; in most cases the chick evicts the eggs or young of the host species, while encouraging the host to keep pace with its high growth rate."
