Extinction Rebellion activists used a fire engine to spray what they said was “1,800 liters of fake blood” on the Treasury Building in London on October 3. In a press release, Extinction Rebellion said the action was aimed at highlighting what they called an “inconsistency between the UK Government’s insistence that the UK is a world leader in tackling climate breakdown, while pouring vast sums of money into fossil exploration and carbon-intensive projects”. At one point during the protest, demonstrators lost control of the fire hose, which proceeded to spray nearby journalists with the fake blood, a food dye mixture.
